NATIONAL Car Rental has launched a premium rental service in the Benelux countries. Called National Exclusive and operated in conjunction with its business partner Kroymans Breukelen, it enables customers in the region to rent prestige vehicles.

The selection includes a range of Cadillac models, the Corvette Convertible and Hummer H3. Neil Summerville, National’s vice-president of franchising for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), said: ‘The Dutch economy is already strong, seeing healthy growth in 2005 which has continued in 2006. With the latest additions to the fleet in the Netherlands, we will be in an extremely strong position to support this growth and meet our customers’ needs.’

National Car Rental has also opened a site at Oslo Gardermoen Airport in Norway, adding to its existing 46 locations throughout the country.
