Rip off
Rented med-size car on line through cheap tickets, the quote was $117.00 and change. The cost I did not ask for once done $268.00. This was after complaining. Originally wanted to charge me $398.00!!! What a rip off, never again, steer clear of Advantage!

Did not honor rental agreement
Booked a rental car via travelocity. Encountered the "bait and switch" tactic used by Advantage Car Rental and apparently approved by Travelocity. ACR refused to give me the car type I reserved; ACR would not rent me another car type without charging more money. I refused, I went to another car rental co. instead.Travelocity did very little to address this issue. I will not use Travelocity or Advantage Rental Car nor would I recomend them.

Billing and Service
This was my worst car rental experience of all time. Every step of the way.

I rented a car through Travelocity for the Advantage location in Toronto. When I arrived, I called the toll-free number for the shuttle pick-up. No one answered, and I called at least 5 times. Someone finally answered the local number on my 3rd attempt with it.

The car smelled terribly of smoke and a strong perfume was used to try to cover it up. It was dirty. No windshield washer fluid. It was not filled with gas (as advertised), and the guy wrote down it was at a half-tank and it wasn't... he rounded up! He had no other cars available, so I was stuck with it. I confirmed the original price ($64.87) with him and left.

However, when I returned the car, I was told that they had to do add an exchange rate on that. I told them that it was already done (I had another file online that had the rental at $52.11 usd, which is $64.87 cdn, but it seemed redundant, so I didn't bring it), and that I confirmed the price when I first rented the vehicle. It didn't matter, nor did he care about the state of the car, he still charged me an extra $13.28.

Not a large sum, but it is the principle; and on top of that, the service was so poor.

I have called the location 3 times, and have always been told the manager is "busy." I have never received a return phone call. I have emailed twice (with the document clearly stating the usd and cdn amounts) and received no response.

Now, I am going to write travelocity and every consumer website to warn people. They think I will drop this... ha!

Bad experience
Horrible doesn’t begin to describe my experience. I had originally reserved a compact car online for the KC Airport. Casey at the service desk informed me that they did not have any cars in this class left (at noon). HOWEVER, for an additional $30/d I could receive what they did have remaining. I rejected the offer and was informed I would have to wait, potentially hours until the next size came in. I chose to wait. In the mean time, I was told I would have to pay $10/d for an additional driver though the website indicates a military rental would have no added charge for this feature. As I continued to wait, Casey made no attempt to remedy the situation, rather disappearing apparently for break and clearly avoiding the situation. As I was flying on military orders, I did not have the time to play around with this ridiculous situation. In the meantime, I had my husband search online for the available car pricing and found that I could get it for $10 additional for the entire week rental. I then spoke to Hussein who indicated that I would have to pay double the original quote for the next available size rental (which is a different rate than Casey quoted). When I indicated the website quoted a different price, he said I should go ahead and book it, "If its really that cheap". Offended but stranded in Kansas City, I had no other choice. My husband booked the reservation and I promptly left with a rental. Having never rented from Advantage before, I found the customer service non-existent and staff unwilling to try to work with my circumstances. If this is the level of customer service that advantage finds acceptable, its a company I will chose to avoid. Additionally, I will make sure all that I know hear about this experience so that they too may avoid such an unpleasant circumstance.

Get what you pay for
We waited in line for over an hour at the Denver location to check-in with a reservation. There were approximately 10 customers in line ahead of us and there were three reps working the counters. Employees were running around and the entire operation was disorganized. Even once we reached the counter it took over 20 minutes to check our reservation, find a car and then deliver the car. One solution may be to have a line for reservation holders and a line for those w/o a reservation.

On the 29th when we returned the car we waited 30 minutes for a shuttle to arrive to take us to the terminal. After the check-in experience I kind of expected the check-out experience to be equally disastrous so we showed up with enough time to still make our flight.

We chose Advantage because the cost was less than other companies but I would rather pay a little more for better service. I have rented from Budget, National, Alamo and Hertz and I have never had to wait for service like I did with Advantage. I guess you get what you pay for, needless to say next time I will go with one of the other companies.
