I have not rented from Advantage, but I have heard some not-so-nice things about them. Essentially, you need to know exactly what your home car insurance and credit card covers and be ready to say "no" repeatedly.

To find out more about them, click on the search link and choose "advanced search". Enter "Advantage Car" into the search field, click on "posts" (so you see individual posts and not whole threads) and then select the Transportation Board in the "search is forums" list to the right. That should bring up plenty of comments on the company.

BTW, not all of the car rental companies are within walking distance. Hertz and Thrifty both use a shuttle. It's really not a big deal to shuttle to their location.

Hmmm, I am wondering if this is true? I just booked with thrifty and they state they are on site with no shuttle. I also read the stick on this board about MCO and they also have Thrifty (and 8 other companies - did not realize they had so many) on site.

No disrespect implied to RobinB's response (she saved me oddles from a code listed on another thread), I am just trying to get my ducks in a row so I know what I am doing...or rather, where I am going

Hmmm ... Thrifty was off-site last time I used them. I guess that may have changed.
