National Car Rental was founded in 1974 when 24 independent car rental operators joined forces to start operations in 60 cities in the United States, at this time they had an800 vehiclesfleet. By the second half of the next decade, in 1957, it was already a strong corporation established in St. Louis, Missouri.

In 1974 the company settled in Minneapolis, where it remained for 23 years, until 1998, the year in which it moved its corporate offices to Florida. In 2007, the National Car Rental brand was acquired by Enterprise Holdings, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, making it the largest car rental group in the world, both in terms of the volume of its operations and the number of employees. and vehicles, in an impressive return to the city that gave birth to this powerful brand.
