National Car Rental Announces 'Great Florida Dive-Out'; Annual Program Offers Travelers Valuable One-Way Rental Opportunities

    MINNEAPOLIS--March 1, 2000--National Car Rental today announced it is once again offering its popular "Florida Drive-Out," a one-way, time-limited car rental program designed to move portions of its fleet from Florida, where cars have been used by wintertime travelers, to more than 34 locations across the United States.
    From April 1 through June 30, 2000, National Car Rental customers traveling from select cities in Florida to many major cities in the Northeast, Southeast and Central United States can take advantage of the low one-way rates with no drop charges and unlimited mileage.

    "The Great Florida Drive-Out is a win-win program for National Car Rental and our loyal customers," said John MacDonald, Vice President of Marketing.

We offer a creative solution for getting our customers inexpensively to their destinations and at the same time moving our fleet out of Florida after the busy winter season."
