National Car Rental is the business-focused rental brand at Cyril E. King Airport (STT) on St. Thomas. Designed for frequent and business travelers, National offers premium service and the ability to skip the counter entirely. Here is what business travelers need to know.
Emerald Club
The Emerald Club is National's loyalty program and its biggest draw. Members can bypass the counter and go directly to the Emerald Aisle to choose their vehicle. This is especially valuable at STT during peak season when counter lines can be long.
Emerald Aisle
Emerald Club members reserve a midsize car but can choose any vehicle in the Emerald Aisle at the same rate. This often means an upgrade to a larger car, SUV, or premium vehicle at no extra cost. The aisle is stocked with a variety of vehicles from which you simply pick and drive.
Premium Fleet
National tends to stock a higher percentage of premium and luxury vehicles compared to Alamo and Enterprise. If you need an upgraded vehicle for a business trip or special occasion on St. Thomas, National is a strong choice.
Executive Level
Frequent renters can achieve Executive or Executive Elite status within the Emerald Club, unlocking additional benefits like bonus points, guaranteed upgrades, and even faster service.
Business Rental Programs
National offers corporate rental programs with centralized billing, negotiated rates, and reporting tools. If your company sends employees to St. Thomas regularly, a National business account can simplify expense management.
Credit Card Policy
National at STT operates on a credit-card-only payment policy. The credit card must be in the primary driver's name and have sufficient available credit for charges and the security deposit hold.
Why Choose National?
For business travelers and frequent renters, National's Emerald Club and skip-the-counter service make it the most efficient option at STT. If time is money, National saves both.
