CAA Members save big: Exclusive car rental benefits await

It’s peak road trip season – have you joined the club yet? And by club, we’re referring to CAA’s preferred car rental partner, National’s Emerald Club®. 

When you’re an Emerald Club member, you can bypass the rental counter and go directly to the Emerald Aisle® available at more than 70 major airports in Canada and the US. Simply reserve a Midsize car at participating locations and choose any available vehicle in the Emerald Aisle (the keys are in the car) –  and be on your way quickly and conveniently. 

And it’s even better when you’re a CAA Member. Connect your CAA Membership card to National's Emerald Club to instantly start benefiting from the program. You’ll earn an additional 50% in CAA Dollars® on your booking!

What’s more, your CAA Membership (Everyday, Classic®, Plus®, or Premier®) automatically grants you access to your Emerald Club tier:

• CAA Everyday & Classic Members join the Emerald Club for FREE
• CAA Plus Members join the Emerald Club for free at Executive® status
• CAA Premier Members join the Emerald Club for free at Executive Elite® status

Emerald Club Status

Emerald Club® status is the first tier in the National’s loyalty membership program. Members can earn 1 rental credit for every qualified car rental. Accumulate just seven rental credits, and you’ll have a free rental day. 

Top it off with these great member benefits: 

Emerald alerts: Receive helpful email reminders to give you the rental information you need exactly when you need it.

Drop & go: With convenient email receipts, you can drop off your car and go (if it was not damaged during the rental).

Emerald aisle access: You can choose any midsize car in the Emerald Aisle Area and pay only the Midsize rate (in Canada and the US).

No second driver fees: Never pay extra when family members and business associates do the driving.

Upgrades in Europe: Enjoy a free one-car class upgrade (subject to availability at the time of rental) at participating locations in the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, and Germany.

Special Offers — Receive exclusive members-only discounts and offers through their National’s email

Emerald Club Executive Status

Life isn’t one-size-fits-all. Neither is CAA. And neither is the Emerald Club! When you’ve got a CAA Plus Membership, you can automatically enroll in National’s Emerald Club at the Executive status. 

As an Executive member, you’ll earn faster free car rental days with just six rental credits; plus, choose any car (Full-size and above) in the Executive area and only pay the reserved Midsize rate – and you’re always guaranteed a free upgrade when you reserve using the Midsize rate (in Canada and the US).

Plus enjoy all the Emerald Club member benefits of the tier below you, too. Got a CAA Premier Membership? You’ll automatically join the lofty ranks of renting a car’s most rarefied when you hook your Membership up to the Emerald Club.

Emerald Club Executive Elite Status

As an Executive Elite status member, you’ll earn even faster free car rental days with just five rental credits – on any class of car, with no blackout dates.

Plus, enjoy the guarantee of always having the car you want, when you want it (up to Full-size) with 24-hour notice when you reserve using the Midsize rate (in Canada and the US), as well as Private Airport Delivery. 

That’s right, National will have your car waiting at most private airports within 80 km of a National location (in Canada and the US). And so much more!
