I used to share this same opinion. However, since the roll out of Ultimate Choice at many airports, the quality of cars that I have gotten--including infinities, mercedes, BMWs, etc. and not having to pay extra, I seriously am not sure if I believe National is better at all.

Based on the recent rate comparisons, the ability to earn a bunch of United Mileage Plus miles, and the availability of high end cars in the UC, I truly believe that Hertz offers the best value for the money at this time.

I get that comparing Hertz and National is hard for some, but I would not even compare Hertz vs. Enterprise as I don't see any value that Enterprise offers from what I can get at Hertz.
