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.

GBAdvantage closed before there time and… Advantage closed before there time and the customer service manager Nicolas said they were closed before their time because they had rented out all their cars before our plane landed. They charged us a fee for not canceling even though they had no cars left. We tried calling over and over and they didn't pick up because they sent everyone home. Advantage abandoned us at the airport with no other options. We felt betrayed and worried because we had an early meeting the next day with a 2 hour drive still ahead of us with no car. So we rented from Sixt rental car , they are a much better company. Review after review has said advantage has stolen from them. Call the attorney general of the state your in ASAP if they have done something bad to you.

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

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.

GBIncompetence at its best! I booked a car in July via Europcar for collection at JFK on 7th September at 8:00. Along with at least 4 customers in front of us, we were told that no cars would be available for at least an hour, the girl on the desk being unbelievably complacent and disinterested. It says enough that this comnpany is the only one based upstairs at JFK whilst the others have their own, bigger offices on the ground floor. Not recommended in any way whatsoever. We ended up cancelling and booking at Hertz instead as we had a 9 hour drive to Canada to get on with. Unsurprisingly, we have not yet had a refund 3 weeks later.
