Mostly smooth but was the first and only time I've been asked my collision deductible. Not knowing it, I was roped into purchasing coverage through them. Ive rented countless times both through them and other agencies and never been asked that!

They did not inform me that my car was electric. They told me to leave my keys in a box when I returned it and then proceeded to charge me an extra day.

Had to cancel the rental and change travel plans because National does not accept debit for one-way rentals. Extremely inconvenient. Could have been avoided if the website would have made this policy clear when booking. Had no trouble booking a one-way with Avis instead. Thank goodness for them.
