Also, will you be able to make a reservation via Nationals website, and pick it up at an Enterprise? If yes, will you be able to use 1-2-Free?
Thanks
No word for one ways at this point. As you know, National uses a pooled fleet and Enterprise doesnt do one ways as their cars are owned by a group or region and as such have to "fetch" their cars if it leaves the group. The fleets are being intergrated starting August 1st, so there may be some changes to the one ways, however both computer systems are different and as such your rental info will not pass through the other brand, so I dont see one ways between cross brands at this point. With respect to reservations, what will happen is, if you try to select a National location and it is "sold out", the website will divert you to Enterprise site. If you want to rent a car in a location where there isnt a National location, it will also direct you to the Enterpirse site if there is a Ent location there.. At this point all marketing programs are completely seperate. No airline points, 1,2 free etc, however EC memeber will soon be able to earn rental credits for Enterpirse rentals.
