chatgpt told me this. I’m going to try it and I’ll report what happens.
Best Options for Arriving Early at National Car Rental (LAX)
Show Up Early Without Modifying Reservation (Best Bet)
- Just go to the counter or Executive Aisle at LAX when you land.
- Don’t modify the reservation online. Changing the pickup time in advance often recalculates the rate at current, higher prices.
- National usually honors the original rate as long as you’re not drastically early or late. A 5-hour early arrival is usually fine.
Risk if You Try to Modify the Reservation
- Modifying online or via app will trigger a new rate calculation (usually higher).
- Unless your original rate was very flexible, it will not reprice to your original deal.
