National’s vehicles are all divided into various car categories, and they are priced, booked and controlled by these categories. Customers renting a vehicle from National will choose a car category rather than a vehicle by its specific make and model. On National’s website, www.nationalcar.com, pictures of all the example vehicles are available, and it also indicates the average passenger and luggage capacities for each category. These capacities should only be used as a general guideline. There are eleven car categories available from National at Lamezia-Terme Airport, including Economy, Compact, Intermediate, Fullsize, Premium and Minivan.

Vehicles in the Economy category are very fuel efficient, and excellent for town and city driving. They are smaller vehicles, and therefore do not have much room for luggage, but they are ideal for a single person, a couple or even a small family. The Fiat Panda Dynamic 1.2 and Ford Fiesta Titanium 1.2 are example cars in this category, and they store one large suitcase and one smaller item of luggage. Other smaller vehicles available can be hired from the Compact category, and these include the Alfa 147 JTD M-Jet Progression 1.6. Compact vehicles with a bit more space for luggage are available in the Compact Wagon category, such as the Fiat Stilo SW Active 1.9 JTD 120cv. Intermediate, Midsize Specialty and Fullsize vehicles can accommodate up to five people, and generally store two large luggage items and two smaller luggage items. These vehicles are perfect for the average sized family or the business traveler. The VW Nuova Passat Comfortline 1.9 is one of National’s Intermediate vehicles, the Mercedes B 200 CDI 2.0 is in the Midsize Specialty class, and the Fullsize category features the Mercedes C220 CDI Elegance 2.2.

Passengers arriving at Lamezia-Terme Airport who require plenty of space for luggage in their vehicle may be interested in the Fullsize Wagon category. These vehicles seat up to five people, and can store four large luggage items and two smaller items. Example cars include the Mercedes C220 CDI Elegance SW 2.2. Premium vehicles are the ideal choice for formal private occasions, or for prestigious business events. They are stylish and elegant, and create an excellent impression. An example of one of these cars from National is the Mercedes E280 CDI Avangarde 2.8. Super large vehicles can be hired from the Minivan and Van categories, and they are perfect for a group of friends traveling together.
