National Car Rental is relaunching its annual "One Two Free" promotion through its award-winning Emerald Club loyalty program.
The promotion offers registered Emerald Club members one free rental day for every two qualifying rentals. Registered members can earn free days even faster by accruing additional promotional points via bonus opportunities, such as renting through National’s top-ranked app or expediting their rental process with Emerald Checkout, which allows renters to scan any vehicle on National’s Emerald Aisle, confirm their rental options, and accelerate their checkout using a Virtual Pass.
The “One Two Free” promotion begins today with an earning period through Feb. 29, and a redemption period through June 15.
Promotions like “One Two Free” provide opportunities for frequent business travelers to extend a business trip or combine work with pleasure, often called “bleisure.”
According to National Car Rental’s 2019 State of Business Travel Survey, bleisure travelers report significantly higher levels of satisfaction with their quality of life compared to non-bleisure travelers (93% vs. 75%), as well as their work/life balance (87% vs. 64%). Also, bleisure travelers are more likely than those who’ve not incorporated leisure into their trips to say they follow a healthy diet (42% vs. 29%) and exercise (57% vs. 31%) when traveling for business.
