Top Rated Rental Car Companies

Renting a car while you are on a trip can be preferable to relying on public transportation or taxis. When you choose to rent a car you'll want to do business with a reputable company that provides a balance of fair prices and good service as well as quality vehicles. There are many rental car companies across the nation vying for the attention of the traveling consumer but a few stand out from the crowd and are recognized as the best in the business.

    Hertz

    • Hertz Car Rental operates more than 8,000 locations in 147 countries. These numbers make Hertz the world's largest car rental company and the top airport car rental brand in the United States. J.D. Power also considers Hertz among the top-rated car rental companies.

      The company that eventually became Hertz Car Rental was started in Chicago in 1918 with a small fleet of Model T Fords. In 1923 the owner sold to John Hertz who changed the name to his own and built a rental empire. Today Hertz rents a wide variety of vehicles including sports car, minivans, convertibles, luxury cars, economy cars and even "green" options for the environmentally conscious.

    National

    • Although National Car Rental wasn't the first on the scene, it was certainly a trendsetter. This company started in 1947 when 24 independent rental agencies decided to form a 60-location partnership. A decade later they incorporated and proceeded to bring about major changes in the industry.

      National Car Rental was the first rental agency to use computers in its reservation system, in 1966. Before that, in 1954, the group began offering one-way rentals for travelers who wanted to drive to another city and drop the car off without bringing it back. No one had done that before. They were also the first to offer flat rate rentals, in 1976.

      J.D. Power regularly ranks National among the best car rental companies. The company rents everything from full-sized SUVs to convertible sports cars and hybrids.
