Best credit card to use at National Car Rental.
Car RentalsTravel
National is the upmarket Enterprise sister brand, beloved by frequent business travelers for its Emerald Aisle "pick any car" benefit. Rentals code as car rentals on every card we track. Several premium cards confer Emerald Club Executive (Amex Platinum, Capital One Venture X) which adds Executive Aisle access — a wider selection of higher-tier vehicles. National rarely publishes deep promo codes, so paying with a 3x-on-travel card often beats hunting for portal discounts.
