National's Executive Status Benefits

National's loyalty program, Emerald Club, offers significant advantages, particularly for those who achieve Executive Status. Members can book full-size cars while only paying the mid-size rate, which allows access to the lucrative executive aisle stocked with a variety of vehicle options, including SUVs and luxury cars. This system contrasts with other rental agencies, which typically limit upgrades based on specific tiers. The ease of obtaining Executive Status through credit cards further enhances the program's appeal, as many top-tier cards automatically grant this status.
