Three Car Rental Firms Have Dropped Their Support For The NRA

Enterprise Holdings has cancelled a car rental discount scheme aimed at National Rifle Association (NRA) members in the US.

The Enterprise, National and Alamo car rental companies will stop offering incentives to NRA members as of 26 March. None of them would initially make a statement as to why, but the very obvious link is the latest school shooting in Florida, in which 17 people were killed by an ex-pupil-turned-terrorist carrying an easily-sourced semi-automatic rifle.

At the time of writing, car rental providers Avis and Budget still offer an NRA discount. Car buying service TrueCar has a special NRA members’ website that claims to offer extra discounts, while almost 20 other companies offer similar incentives.

First National Bank earlier this week cancelled a credit card promotion aimed at NRA members after “customer feedback.” It previously offered ‘the official credit card of the NRA.’ More commercial NRA supporters may decide to cut ties in the coming days and months.

UPDATE: Hertz car rental has also now cancelled its NRA discount scheme.
