Report: https://directindex.org/r/nationalcar.com
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
National Car Rental is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants cannot open the website of National Car Rental, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.nationalcar.com/en/reserve.html (on the business's own site)
- Phone: 8003031

## What to fix first
- Languages: English

- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (challenge:access denied); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No tickets and prices found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what does it cost and when' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with tickets, times and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The phone on the site is not the one the open data lists.** The site shows +971%20800%203031; OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 8003031. An assistant that sees two different numbers does not know which to trust. Correct the wrong one: the site, or the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "National Car Rental",
  "url": "https://www.nationalcar.com/en/car-rental/locations/ae/abu-dhabi-airport-ken5.html?mcid=yext:245709",

      },
      "result": {
        "@type": "Reservation",
        "name": "Reservation"
      }
    }
  ]
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Tickets on your own site.** Agents can buy tickets without a marketplace in the loop.
