Pros:
We paid $50 for a cab from the ferry to the "location" at 90 Front. It's not an actual location. Get a shuttle (and save the cab fare) to the Terminal street location. Really annoying.Cons:
The location doesn't exist.4.0 Mediocre

It was first time when rental staff explained everything in such detail way. There was no rush with car inspection. We walked around the car discussing what kind of scratches are under warranty and what to be aware of.Cons:

Aug. 2018
Pros:
Great mileage Friendly staff who were very helpfulCons:
We onlly had 1200 km and Vancouver Island is a big island which we did not realize. We were unable to get more km without paying what would have been an exorbitant amount of money so had to take it back and get another contract. In spite of paying much more for the car why are you penalized if you take it back at a different location?2.8 Poor
May 2018
Pros:
They drove me back to where I needed to be, so I didn't have to call a cab.Cons:
In Canada they charge you .35 cents a kil. after you drive 100 K.. That really adds up when driving from Victoria to Nanaimo! You have to read your contract VERY carefully. Our C$78.00 rental turned out to be almost C$200.00.! Also, when I returned the car I had forgotten to fill it up w/ fuel. The counter guy didn't want to let me fill it up myself and I had to demand that he did! Very poor service. They really rip you off. I will never rent another car from National again!2.0 Poor
Sep. 2017
Cons:
I reserved a compact car weeks in advance and when I arrived I was told National does rent to N drivers. Neither the website nor confirmation email indicated this, which is pretty important restriction. The lady said it's corporate policy and there's nothing she can do. Where is the accountability? Had to reserve last minute with another company 20min away at double the price.8.0 Very good
