I am frantically trying to get all the pieces for my trip in order. My husband, a 5 yo and I will be going 12/12-12/17 and staying at the Dolphin. I just got a price of $94.95 with taxes 124.56.

Should I join the Emerald club? And if so how do I do this?

Have folks had any problems with National recently?

Thanks for your help.

Oops sorry- I also just did quick rent and it said I can pick up the car and go to the exit booth. Has anyone done this or had problems with this?
Thanks
Tara
 
Just take a copy of your reservation with you, you will be fine.
Keep in mind, you cannot use coupons for quick rent. There are a few out there, so, you might want to check those. This information can be found on www.mousesavers.com
 
You can join for free with the Turner's link on Mousesaver's.

This will get you a free additional driver:

Authorized Drivers
Free (in the United States and Canada) – An Emerald Club members spouse, immediate family living with him/her, business partner, employer, or fellow associate who has an assigned corporate contract with National and drives the car for business purposes.

All other additional authorized driver situations are subject to a daily charge. Click here for our policy on additional drivers.

I used entertainment coupons for a 2 class free upgrade.

she is using quick rent, cannot use coupons with that, upgrades require a trip to the counter, even for EC members.
 
Hi Gail - Did EC change their policy on accepting coupons at the drive out booth when you pick out your car and go? I have always just drove to the booth and gave them my EC card, copy of reservation and any coupons I have. Coupons always seem to get a roll of the eyes but I thought it was due to extra work, not that I was breaking a rule.

Nope, no change, but, if you use upgrade coupons your EC rental will bounce back to counter. The money off coupons are totally allowed at the booth.
Quick rent is an entirely different monkey. Anyone can do it and it is supposed to be quick and you avoid the counter. This is what the OP is doing.

From their website:

Thanks Gail - Will take my Entertainment Book Coupon and all paperwork and drive right out. Just love EC!! You are a wealth of information. National should pay you a consulting fee!

Thanks!!! Always happy to help and......I would love it if they paid me. :)
 
Thanks everyone. I was not able to find anything cheaper. I am renting a compact and there was nothing under the $94.95 (with taxes $124). I just used one of the contract ID codes
