Why are you changing the terms and conditions of my Emerald Club membership?
We modified the terms and conditions to improve the services or reflect the business needs of the Emerald Club program, to provide additional clarification, and to comply with legal requirements.
Have you taken any benefits away?
No we haven’t changed your membership level or how you achieve membership tier status. You will keep all of your rental credits, and the way you earn credits and redeem free days stays the same.

Corporate agreements are not mentioned in this document. Each corporate agreement should be considered independently. If you or your travel manager feels there is a conflict, you should direct any questions to your legal team.
Why is the agreement so long?
The length of the agreement is due to the master rental agreement language which must include all of the vehicle rental disclosure requirements for most of the fifty states in the United States, Canada, Belgium, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
