ST. LOUIS, Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Frequent travelers to Latin America can now experience the speed, choice and convenience offered through National Car Rental's award-winning Emerald Club loyalty program. National has expanded its Emerald Club Priority Service to airport locations in Aruba, Belize, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Curacao, Peru, Uruguay, Trinidad & Tobago and Tortola.

Emerald Club Priority Service will expedite the rental process by offering a dedicated line at the service counter exclusively for Emerald Club members.

"We continue to look for opportunities to offer reliable, efficient rental service to our Emerald Club members internationally and provide the service and quality that they've come to expect."

In June 2014, National launched Emerald Club Priority Service in Latin America at all major airports in Mexico, marking the first phase of the loyalty program's expansion into Latin America and the Caribbean. National currently operates in 23 countries in Latin America and will continue to introduce the Emerald Club in more countries in the region later in 2014 and beyond.

In the new locations, Emerald Club members are guaranteed a midsize or above vehicle at the reserved midsize rate.
