Visit the registration page for all of the terms and conditions for the ONE TWO FREE Promotion and the FAQ. Here are some of the important terms:

  • You will only receive points and rental credits for this promotion after you register

  • A qualifying rental is a paid rental, via the Emerald Club, of a Midsize or larger vehicle at participating National Car Rental locations in the US for a period of 2 or more consecutive days during the promotion

  • You will earn your Emerald Club reward benefits including Emerald Club credits OR “standard” partner airline miles or hotel points in addition to ONE TWO FREE points on qualifying rentals, BUT you cannot participate in any other partner “bonus offers” and still qualify to take part in ONE TWO FREE

  • You will receive 300 points for each qualifying rental or 300 points every 4 consecutive rental days, whichever is greater

  • Points awarded for rentals will only appear on the “My Activity” page when you are logged in to the ONE TWO FREE promotion site

  • Coupons associated with the ONE TWO FREE promotion will expire June 15, 2018, and can be used for a Compact through Fullsize car

  • You can only use 3-free day coupons at a time

  • Earned free rental day coupons cover the base rate (time and mileage charges) only for a rental day

Bonus trvlvip TIP:

While National’s terms state that free day certificates cannot be used for one-way rentals,we have used these free day certificates for many one-way rentals and have had to pay less than $10 in taxes and fees.

This experience may not occur for everyone, but if you desire a one-way rental we suggest you book the free day reservation online and it will show the total expected charges before you confirm. This has provided us with great value - often exceeding over $100 per day!

The Wrap-Up:

We enjoy the Emerald Club because you can bypass the counter and choose any rental car you’d like from the Aisle as long as you reserve a Midsize car and eReceipts allow you to just drop your car and keys off and be on your way - and it’s FREE to join!

Choosing to earn National Emerald Club rental credits toward free rental days instead of hotel or airline reward points or miles will generally yield you the best value for your rental activity. If a promotion exists where it is more lucrative to earn bonus reward points with a hotel or airline miles, we will alert you to it on trvlvip.

With the ONE TWO FREE Promotion though, no partner bonus offer exists that is more valuable than choosing to earn with National during this promotion!

If you score a free day as a result of ONE TWO FREE, go ahead and tell us all about it with a nice note on Facebook and Twitter!
