Advantage Car Rentals - Opinions?

[Captainkidd76]

Looking at our rental for July. We currently have a rental with Alamo for 2 weeks but I found a rental through Advantage for about $200 less. I know it's on airport so that's a plus. But I've read mixed reviews, and anything outside Alamo, Enterprise, Hertz, National or Budget makes me a bit nervous.

Did you end up using Advantage?

Since this has been brought back. I've used them twice, once in Orlando and once in Denver. Orlando they tried to give me a car with a big scrape and dent in it that they fought with me on having marked on my pre trip inspection. Then charged me for a toll and a daily toll charge even though I had a receipt that I paid cash. Denver, they didn't have an ice scraper in the vehicle in November and one of the tires had a leak. Cost me $10 to fill the tire with air twice and buy a scraper that they wouldn't reimburse me for without a receipt that I didn't get at the gas station and how do you get a receipt for the air machines? I'll stick with the big names that don't seem to have those issues.

...one of the tires had a leak. Cost me $10 to fill the tire with air twice and buy a scraper that they wouldn't reimburse me for ...

That as opposed to Alamo...I had the same problem: a tire with a slow leak that I had to fill a couple times while I had it. When I returned the car I mentioned to the agent that they should take a look at the tire since I had to fill it a couple times. I wasn't looking for anything, but they gave me a $40 credit (can't remember if they took it off that rental or whether it was for a future rental)
