The annual promotion from National car rental has returned – One, Two, Free. This is a great way to earn free rental credits from a variety of little tasks!
Best Car Rental Promo Returns
Link: National Car One Two Free
National runs this promo every fall and it can be incredibly lucrative if you know where you will redeem the free days. I have redeemed these free days many times to save over thousands of dollars – including a one-way last year that was a huge savings!
Check out how much money I saved with a free rental day!
National Promo Details:
- Members may earn 300 Points for each Qualifying Rental (as defined below) made after the date on which the Member registered and which occurs during the period beginning August 23, 2018, through February 28, 2019

It comes down to this – for every 600 points you accrue, you receive a free rental credit. That’s it! Here is how you earn those 600 points (certain offers may vary by customers):
Some of the tasks you can complete to get more points!
- Each qualifying rental (2 days or more)– 300 points

That is a lot of ways to earn points and you can earn more than one set at a time! For instance, if you are renting through the mobile app for a rental in Europe that is over a weekend, you will end up with 775 points from that single rental! That will give you 1 free rental!
If you are strategic about it, you could easily free rental credits by taking advantage of the different tasks in your dashboard.
I love that this is back and hopefully I will be able to take advantage of it!
Hi Charlie in the screenshot of your free rental example it shows 0 for tax and fees. Is this term new?

I was surprised by that as well! I am not sure why that happened but it has worked on a couple of rentals for me like that. I am not complaining!
