Am I missing something here? Is there some secret to get National's rates lower or is that just the price you have to pay if you want to use them? I do like using the Executive Aisle but $50 vs. $115 is quite a steep difference!
Have you tried looking at the last minute specials? Usually lots of good weekend rentals for cheap.
