Emerald Club Benefits at National Car Rental

Emerald Club Benefits at National Car Rental

December 2013June, 2012

The Principal Financial Group now has a dual brand contract with Enterprise Holdings (Enterprise Rent-A-Car and National Car Rental). In the past, travelers could accumulate points to then later redeem for free rentals with the Emerald Club for National Car Rental and using Enterprise Plus for Enterprise rentals.

Effective immediately Wwith this new dual brand contract, travelers can earn points with the Emerald Club program for BOTH brands with each applicable rental, but currently, the points accumulated can only be redeemed on National rentals. Enterprise has advised that in the near future, points may should be able to be redeemed on Enterprise rentals.

To ensure the correct information is in each reservation, please make sure your Emerald Club number is in your Concur profile for both brands, National and Enterprise (if it is not already) and remove the Enterprise Plus number from the profile. If the Emerald Club number is in both places of your profile, reservations made through Concur, our online booking tool, or through an agent, will automatically have the Emerald Club number attached to the reservation for either brand. Travelers also need to keep a valid corporate card number and driver’s license number in this Emerald Club profile. If you don’t ever plan to use National’s services, you may continue to use the Enterprise Plus program for Enterprise rentals; just make sure that number is in your Concur profile.

As preferred suppliers of car rental services to Principal Financial Group employees, National Car Rental and Enterprise Rent-A-Car are dedicated to supplying service that surpasses industry standards and exceeds traveler’s expectations.
