From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

National Car Rental is a rental car company based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. National was founded by 24 independent rental car agents on August 27, 1947. It has grown from 60 locations in the United States in 1947 to over 2000 locations worldwide as of 2005. Since 1987 it has marketed the Emerald Club to its renters, which was the first such program in the car rental industry. See below for more of an explanation.
