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.

Good. Simply put. Good.
I’m wondering why one would give a discount to these stupid lobbyists in first place.
That’s something I was asking myself as well. I fail to see the correlation between rental cars and guns.
What was so important that you gave them these benefits in the first place?
Y tf does a gun association have discounts on car rentals?
Because America. It’s not good… But hey, a lot of things aren’t… Like the President of the United States needing a cheat sheet on what to say to victims of the shooting.
This is a country where banks give you a gun for opening an account with them, no questions asked…
So we can blame an association based around safe use of guns for an adult not listening to what the NRA says about safe gun use and shooing people in a school? This is like blaming Car Throttle for someone going bout and hitting someone else with their car.
How those membership organizations justify the fees, with membership benefits and stuff like that
why can an 18 year old by a machine gun before he can buy a beer in the US that basically says drinking is more dangerous then a gun. im from canada and ill never understand the US
why did they offer discounts to a gun association in the first place?
That stinks
Looks like we got the unpopular opinion.
Amen
This post is going to be a shit show.
I suppose that’s what happens when conflicting views get together on a website devoted to automobiles.
Well, you were right
Oh well, that’s the rental company’s loss.
please dont bring politics into this site
Yes, please. This is CarThrottle. Nobody came here to hear bullshit about who did what and how what group is mad or not. It doesn’t even matter who’s right, because nobody gives a shit.
Every European liberal on here has no right to comment on a country they dont live in. 99% of u im this post know absolutely nothing true about guns, the nra, or our president. leave. us. alone.
Yes we do, it’s our right to express our opinion, that’s what freedom of speech is about.
Thank you for telling it how it is!
Thank you for telling it how it is!
Your country, gun laws and president are rapidly becoming a laughing stock. And yes, countries that don’t have mass school shootings DO have a right to comment on yours. Do one.
