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.

GBCharged us twice as much as quoted online We had rented through orbitz, and when we arrived at the rental counter is was incredibly busy so we quickly went through the paperwork. After driving away, we noticed that they had added collision insurance to our bill (which caused it to be twice as much as quoted by Orbitz!) without confirming or asking us. We called, requesting to get it removed (since our car insurance covers rental cars) but they refused and Orbitz said there was nothing they could do.

GBSLC, UT... good service Our service with Advantage was very good. The problem comes when using an online booking service. We were unfortunate to have used carrental8.com Advantage employees were friendly and helpful. Our car was new. They charged us only for the time we had the vehicle. However we were left feeling violated by carrental8.com Later we learned by our own research it would have been cheaper to reserve directly with Advantage. We pre-purchased our fuel at the rental counter, cheaper than local gas prices. Brought the car back on fumes without any additional cost. We will never reserve with another online 3rd party booking agency again. Thanks for the great service Advantage, we will do business again.

CAThey lie They lie. They don’t tell you anywhere that you need proof of insurance. Yiu get there they tell you it’s very important that you get the toll package even though I said we’re not travelling far or at night. 240 plus tax. Liars Greed They upgrade you if your friend has proof of insurance so you can drive. 140 plus tax Licensing fee 75. Every time the car is rented. Rip off. Started out at 300 fir rental ended at 604. American. Greed

GBWe dealt with an individual named … We dealt with an individual named marc(manager of the Austin office). They put our friend with cystic fibrosis life at risk by renting us a vehicle that had no external power for an 8 hour trip. I highly recommend not doing business with advantage. We put together events for terminally sick kids and they rented us a vehicle that had no internal power and achieved 7 miles per Gallon when they told us it was 18 mpg. When trying to deal with the situation marc said that he didn't want to deal with giving us a proportionate refund simply because " he didn't want to".
