Advantage Rent A Car

Before this year I had never heard of this car rental company. My first time using them was in San Francisco, because they cost a hundred bucks less than the competitors for a week-​long rental; the tradeoff was that the pickup and dropoff were located «off airport.» It turned out to be a great tradeoff.
Here, the price was still less than the major brands, but only by about $ 20; however, there was no tradeoff, as all of the rental counters and cars, including Advantage’s, are located «on airport.» All you have to do is walk about five minutes from the terminal, all indoors. No shuttle, no waiting.
At pickup (Sunday afternoon), we waited about ten minutes for the single customer ahead of us in line. There was only one clerk – Ed, who gives great service. We finished the transaction in about eight minutes. We then walked a few steps to the garage and were in our car and on our way in less than three more minutes.
Dropoff was even easier (Saturday afternoon), as we drove the car into the garage and got checked out by the attendant in about three minutes. Then we waited five minutes in line for a printed receipt, although they offer the option of dropping one’s paperwork at the counter and getting an emailed receipt.
Both ends of the transaction couldn’t have been easier or more pleasant, the car was a-​okay, and the price was right. I appreciate any business that reduces the stress in my travel experience. Advantage is likely to be my first rental choice from now on.
