In a posting last week on Gaynet, a National car rental employee said
National now exempts domestic partners, as all car rental companies
exempt spouses, from extra-driver charges.

Based on the posting, I switched my car rental reservations this weekend
from Budget to National.  Although someone questioned whether the policy
is fully implemented, my experience was that the new policy worked
great.

At the National desk, I told the clerk that I would have an extra driver. 
She asked my what the extra driver's relationship is to me.  I said he's
my domestic partner. She asked whether he has the same address as mine on
his driver's license.  I said yes.  She said fine, and registered him as
an exempt extra driver. 

BTW, the National people were really nice and efficient.  I am really
delighted with the new policy and with the company.
