History: In 1947, 24 independent car rental operators convened at Chicago's Drake Hotel to create a new kind of car rental company, National Car Rental. By 1958, National had grown from strength to strength in the USA, with 50% of the nation's major hub airports having a National Car Rental presence. National Car rental has a history spanning over 50 years. Founded in 1947, National Car Rental bases its headquarters in Missouri.

In 1999 Combined Motor Holdings brought National Car Rental to South Africa to expand on their global expertise and services. In addition we have a service agreement with Alamo, America's largest car rental group, to serve their inbound clients.
