What happens if the additional driver is not present? I will be flying to MCO and will be added as an additional driver, but the other person arrives earlier in the day and will pick up the car. We are both Executives and during the reservation process the website said we were allowed up to 9 additional drivers for free.
Can I just stop by the National counter at my departure airport and be added to the contract?

Customer service actually told me I can go to the counter in my departure airport, even before the other person does the pickup. The other option is to stop by the counter when they come to pick me up at MCO later that day. I’ll try the first option just to see if it really works.

So the person doing the pick up got his flight delayed and ended up waiting for me to arrive, could not do the test.

Rented a car tonight with an additional driver in the reservation. I included all of their information requested in the initial reservation: DL info, contact info, etc. Chose my car, went to the booth, and wasn't asked for any kind of verification for the AD. Now I want to make sure they're actually on the rental record. Their name is listed on the email confirmation for the reservation, but I never got an email with the rental agreement after checking out of the lot. I looked for the agreement online, but it doesn't seem to be possible to get it on the website or app - my RA number is listed but with no details about the reservation. I've tried calling as well, but offices are closed.
Should I be concerned that the AD may not be covered even though they're on the confirmation? And how do you get a copy of your RA? Seems like this should be readily available in case you were to get pulled over, get in an accident, etc.

however the new national app doesn’t really give details about your RA… but it does have the RA number.
I think if you called National with your RA number found on your app (or quote your emerald club member) you can ask them to verify if your additional drivers are added. You are supposed to have their DL at check out to be added, but I believe for spouses they don’t have to be on the RA and are still authorized to drive
