National Car Rental (RDU)

National Car Rental operates from the rental car center on Rental Car Drive at Raleigh-Durham International Airport. It rents to travelers arriving at RDU, with the Emerald Club loyalty program for people who rent often enough to want the perks.

The rental center sits away from the terminals, so you board the National bus after you land and pick up your rental agreement at the counter. The company builds its pitch around competitive rates and first-class service, which matters most when you are tired and just want the keys.
