Nat. ER/EA No-show????

[KathyR]

We have an EA reservation, but if the car size does not work out we wanted a back up ER reservation. If we only use one of our reservations (ER or EA) and do not show up for the other, will they charge me for the no-show reservation?

Thanks for your help

maybe

from nationalcar.com policies

---------------------------------------------------------------
No-show

National Car Rental may charge a fee for vehicles that are reserved but not rented, if the reservation is not canceled 24 hours prior to anticipated arrival.
No-show fees will be billed to the credit card given at the time of reservation.

EA guarantees you an intermediate car. If you REQUIRE a larger car reserve what you need. National all but stopped putting mini vans in the EA because too many people were making double reservations.

If you really must play the game make your backup reservation with another agency, your unethical actions won't be as obvious and you'll probably get away with it.

The last time we got to the EA, there were NO cars, so we had to wait. So I would definitely rent what you need ahead of time. Do you really want to start your vacation being stressed because you don't have the right size car? Not worth it IMHO.

Thanks for the replys!

I currently only have 1 reservation (for the car I need). I was just seeing if I could have a second on the aisle w/o being double charged just in case there was something there we wanted instead.

I will just stick w/the one reservation.

Thanks again
