GBI booked a convertible through wisecar… I booked a convertible through wisecar for my honeymoon in hawaii. Upon arrival the agent that helped us, Jimmy-Jack, seemed to be helpful. I told him we booked through wisecar and I offered the reservation number. He saw I had booked a convertible and said they have two convertibles available mustang or Jeep. I took the Jeep and we went on our way. The Monday after we returned from our vacation I saw that we were charged double our quoted reservation and wisecar would do nothing about it. Extremely disappointed in both companies. Wisecar and Advantage scamming customers with a promised low price then once it hits your credit card they play blame game on each other.

GBMy worst car rental experience in many, many years! My worst car rental experience in many, many years. Car was high mileage and flashed a computer warning, during the entire rental period, to return to the dealer. Picked up car at night after just it was brought inside after a rainstorm. Because the car was still wet I missed a very small windshield crack on initial inspection that my wife noticed the next morning. Being honest, I pointed out the flaw to the agent upon returning the car. NOW I'M BEING PENALIZED FOR MY HONESTY AND CHARGED FOR A DAMAGED WINDSHIELD!! I will NEVER rent from Advantage again.

GBStay Away or be Ready for a Painful Headache Reservation # AEXP06CCBE Atlanta Airport. I was supposed to pick up a car on 3/19 the location had no reserved car. The service lady asked me to wait for 2-3hrs to get the car which I declined. I asked for cancellation and went across to Alamo where I managed to get a car in 15minutes. To my surprise, I was charged a $50 no-show fee on my credit card. Mistakes happen but this is unacceptable and customer service reps on the 1-800 line can be unbelievably rude. Please refund my account and do not treat customers like this - life is already stressful anyway.

GBDon't go for the cheapest!! It's not. Arrived at Denver after the long flight from the UK. Waited an hour and a half in the rental office with maybe 40 other customers in a snaking queue. Got to the desk (we'd already booked online and paid for extra insurance) to be told we hadn't paid for fully comp insurance - that option hadn't apparently been available online - and that if we wanted it it would cost 15 dollars a day. We felt manipulated but obliged to pay. V v unpleasant.

FRThe have so many hidden fees its such a… The have so many hidden fees its such a rip off. We hired a car for one of our staff. $35 for the day, or so we thought. We opted in for insurance $15 a day. Then there was the pre paid gas,(acceptable) Loss damage waiver(whatever that was) Daily tolls, (acceptable) Priv Fee Recovery Charge (whatever that was) then there was state tax, vehicle license feee, Florida surcharge and a Tire battery fee.(minimal) but in the end it was $137 for ONE DAY... We only paid $157 for two days with Hertz and didn't have to travel miles to the rental location. So please use them if you have a lot of money to throw away
