Advantage Rent a Car?

[aubriee]

We're still trying to decide if we want to fly and rent a car or just drive our own down there for our Oct/Nov trip. We are moving over to Universal the last two nights of the trip, plus have to make a day trip over to Clearwater one day, so will need a vehicle down there. Right now the cheapest rental car I've found is at Advantage Rent a Car. We've never rented a car before. Any reviews for Advantage Rent a Car and exactly where are they? Any ideas where to find discount codes?

They are owned by Hertz and are on the second floor of the garage on both sides A & B at Orlando International Airport. You will need to go to their counter before hitting the garage, that counter is on the first level of the terminal, again, both sides, same airport.

Mousesavers.com may have some discount codes.

Thanks! Since I posted the first time, Delta has dropped their fares (got r/t airfare for just $198.70/person, instead of the over 400.00 it's been running), so I guess we're flying. Now I just need to find a cheap rental car. As I said we've never rented a car before. Do we need to buy their insurance or would mine cover us in a rental? I have full coverage on my truck and liability only on my other car and my husband's truck.

In regards to insurance there is no exact answer. Check with your insurance agent and also check your credit cards as most provide CDW coverage. As you have full coverage it will most likely cover your rental.
