Member benefits are similar for most car rental companies, but there are a few differences and some programs offer benefits not available through other companies.
Below, I've provided an overview of the member benefits for 8 car rental company's Frequent Renter Programs.

Rental companies can modify benefits at any time; I make every attempt to maintain up-to-date info, but always check with an individual company to verify the availability of any benefit.
