Available in Only 19 States

Advantage has limited availability with locations in only 19 states. Some companies have locations in all 50 states. This availability is lower than average in the industry.

Only Airport Locations

Despite these location limitations, Advantage has rental counters at most major airports throughout North America. Advantage is only available at airports at this time. Some companies have other locations outside of airport terminals, which is more convenient for local residents.

Strict Cancellation Policies

Advantage's cancellation policy is very strict and costly. You must cancel more than 24 hours in advance or you will be charged a minimum of one day's rental charges plus taxes and additional fees. If you cancel a 'Pay Now' reservation prior to 24 hours before the pickup time, you will be subject to a $50 cancellation fee. If a 'Pay Now' reservation is cancelled less than 24 hours prior to the pickup time, you forfeit the entire amount of the reservation. Many companies offer free cancellation.

No Instant Return

Your car has to be returned at the kiosk. This is standard for car rental companies. Instant return services allow customers to leave the keys in the car and leave the car at the proper location. This can be a very convenient feature.

No Toll Prepay Option

You cannot prepay for tolls with advantage. Renters can opt into the EZ TOLL program for a daily fee of $6.99 per day. This is a good price compared to what other companies charge. Having to pay on the day of rental for toll passes is pretty common with rental car companies.

No Online Check-In

Advantage does not offer an online check-in option. Compared to industry competitors, this is not atypical for car rentals. Most companies require in-person check-ins. A few companies do offer this option, which is more convenient and offers customers the chance to avoid waiting in line.

No On-Site Fuel Discount

Advantage does not offer discounts on the price of fuel it uses to fill the tank when you return it. They have three fueling options: Fuel Now, Fuel Later, and Self Serve. Pricing for each option varies and is available at the rental counter. Advantage does not issue refunds for unused fuel.
