Enterprise Rent-A-Car and National Car Rental extend loyalty schemes

Enterprise Rent-A-Car and National Car Rental have announced the extension of several loyalty schemes, originally extended at the start of the pandemic, which were set to expire soon.

National Car Rental’s Emerald Club programme free rental days previously set to expire on December 31, 2022, will now roll over through to September 4, 2023.

National also has extended “elite tier” status for qualifying loyalty programme members. This includes National’s Emerald Club Executive and Executive Elite whose status was set to expire on February 28, 2023.

If those members made or make at least one qualifying rental by the end of 2022, their elite status will be extended until February 28, 2024.

Furthermore, Enterprise Rent-A-Car’s Plus Your Points promotion has returned this year to enable registered Enterprise Plus members to earn double points on qualifying rentals.

The promotion will also offer the opportunity to extend elite tier status for Enterprise Rent-A-Car's Enterprise Plus Silver, Gold and Platinum members whose status was set to expire on February 28, 2023.

To qualify for tier extension, Enterprise Plus members will need to register for the Plus Your Points promotion and then make, or have already made, one qualifying rental by the end of 2022, which will extend their elite status until February 28, 2024.

“These extensions give Emerald Club members flexibility to use their free days through next summer and offer many Emerald Club and Enterprise Plus members an extra year to enjoy the benefits of their elite status,” said Liz Ott, vice president of global brand strategy for Enterprise Holdings.

“We are excited to offer greater flexibility so customers can use their benefits when and how they want to use them.”

The annual Plus Your Points promotion offers Enterprise Plus customers the opportunity to earn free rental days faster.

Available to customers in the UK, United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Ireland, France, Spain and Germany, the program launched on October 5 and runs through to the end of January 2023.

Points earned during the Plus Your Points promotion are redeemable for free rental days at any time, in any available vehicle at thousands of participating Enterprise locations worldwide.

Enterprise Plus loyalty points don’t expire as long as the member completes one qualifying Enterprise rental during every three-year period. 

Membership in both loyalty programmes is free and open to anyone 21 years and older.
