Well, sadly my 10-year run being Executive/Executive Elite with National will be coming to an end after the end of CY18 (I've already qualified for Executive next year) as my company has changed our primary agency over to Hertz. I wish I didn't have to leave, but the delta between National and Hertz is quite significant now.

When my company switched from National to Hertz, the company code for National kept working. I kept using it with a "it's cheaper than Hertz" justification. Not that anyone ever questioned it, but where I work "I'm saving the company money" is appreciated and allows me to get around company policies.

The Audi interface seems like something that would have to grow on you as an Audi owner. In a rental car, I've honestly never fully figured it out. I used to rent Audis from Silvercar at PHX...they kept sending me coupons. But once Uber/Lyft got their dedicated airport spot, I've stopped renting there entirely.

i think the A3 has an updated interface. It is not touchscreen and the screen retracts into the dash when not in use. It has the knob on the center console you can use to "write" on or twist. I'll take a photo tomorrow

is the screen back with some orange? If so it's the older one. I know in the 2018 Q5 Audi is using a better newer version of their MMI
