When it comes to planning out your trip, you likely didn’t factor in time to wait in line at your rental car company for a receipt. With flights to catch, rental car returns are often rushed. But it always pays to stay on top of paperwork. Here is how to look up your National receipt online.
Should any question come up about the car rental return, a receipt is the easiest way to prove you returned it—and that you returned it on time. Fortunately, most companies offer the option to return a car without extra paperwork and then receive the bill or receipt at a later date. Express return options make sense; they save valuable time, freeing you up to get on with your trip. However, each car rental company has its own policies for how long they hold onto receipts and how to retrieve them.
National Car Rental Drop & Go
National’s Drop & Go works like this: As long as your vehicle has not been damaged during the rental, all you have to do is drop off your car and keys. We will take care of the paperwork and email you your receipt.
National Receipts Online
Before you rent from National Car Rental, it makes sense to join its Emerald Club loyalty program. You must be a member to access your online receipt in the “Past Trips” section of your account. Emerald Club members can also sign up to automatically receive electronic receipts via email after every rental. If you rent through National Car Rental but are not a member of the Emerald Club, you will need to call 1-800-468-3334 and ask a representative for a receipt.
Next time you’re making a booking at National Car Rental, know that unless you’re a member of the Emerald Club, you won’t have access to a receipt online. You’ll need to take an extra step to get in touch with a helpline representative.
A tip: If you want some visual proof of your return but don’t have time to wait for a receipt, snap a few pictures. Take photos of both the interior and exterior of the car parked in the lot before leaving the premises. These pictures and the timestamp in the metadata will serve as proof that you returned the car when you say you did.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rent an American car if I’m not from the United States?
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has granted permission to rent vehicles in the United States for non-American citizens. This may include a visa waiver program for certain countries. In addition, you must also meet several requirements, including having valid documentation such as a passport and proof of insurance. Additional information is available on the DHS website.
Is it possible to rent a car in Germany, and then return it to Switzerland?
This depends on many things, such as what vehicle you are renting, how often you plan to drive it, and if there are any special requirements like child seats.
If you plan to drive from Munich or Zurich, you don’t need to rent a car. You can take public transport instead. Renting a car might be a good option if your goal is to drive from Munich, Barcelona and back during your holiday.

How To
Consider these things when renting a car
Before I book a car rental, what should I do?
The following points must be considered if you want to book a rental car:
- There are many types of cars to choose from: small compact, medium compact and large compacts; SUVs, minivans and more.
- Prices vary depending on the vehicle. Renting a vehicle is as low as $15 per day for smaller vehicles. Larger vehicles can cost you much more.
- There are additional charges that depend on how much you rent the vehicle. These include mileage fees and the daily price.
- You will be charged additional fees if your vehicle is rented.
- Renting a car allows you to travel at any hour of the day. However, this option comes with some limitations. You cannot rent your car during rush hour.
- You should ensure that the car you choose is within your budget. Check whether the car comes with air conditioning. This is extremely useful in hot weather.
- If you need a specific kind of car, make sure to reserve it well in advance. It is not uncommon for people to realize they need a car at the last minute.
- Safety features come standard in all rental cars. However, it is still recommended to carry a blanket and a kit of first aid in an emergency.
- You may want to consider adding a collision damage waiver to your rental. This is optional, but you will save money on your insurance policy.
- Special needs can be requested during your booking process and upon your arrival, if you have any special needs.
- You should pack your bags and have your ID and credit card ready before you leave the airport.
- You must be alert when driving. Concentrate on your driving and avoid distractions.
- Contact the police immediately if you are involved in an accident.
- When you are done using your car, be sure to turn it in. You could face a stiff fine.
