Pros: The car was very clean. Staff at dropoff was very helpful and friendly.
Cons: Only one staff member available at pickup, so wait was long. Drop off area wasn't clearly marked, signs should have directed the advantage rentals to use the upcoming ramp. The first turnoff looked like it was the only place to go. The car itself was a very cheap model for the money I spent.

Don't rent from them!
Cons: They lied to me to get me to buy the 12.99 ezpass transponder. Then I told them THREE TIMES do not charge me for a one way drop off (which is when you drop off the car at a different pick up), and then they STILL charged me $260 for a one way drop off fee when I dropped off the car at the same location. I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND REFUND.

Unreasonable fees
Cons: Extremely high toll usage fees, $13 a day plus additional taxes and fees, added to an extra $17 per day! I couldn’t find any gas stations in the vicinity of the airport and could not fill up tank (brought it in around 3/4 full) and was charged $57 to refuel. I have never paid this much for a car rental before - $643 for 9 days or $70 a day!

Pros: Staff was polite and freindly. The one central bus shuttle and center for all the rental brands (Advantage, Avis, Hertz, Thrifty,etc. etc) is very convenient. The facility is modern and clean.
Cons: My car was good and clean. When I got onto the road, the driver's side rear view mirror was shaking and very loose. I feared it might fall off. I returned the car within the hour back to Advantage. (The shaking was very distracting, and at night would have been dangerous with rear cars's flashing lights in sight.) I returned the car, and was quickly helped by a repair tech. (Advantage didn't have any spare cars to swap out. Liomited iinventory?) The tech removed the mirror and reseated it properly. No problem for remainder of trip. My guess is that the prior driver didn't report the problem, so Advantage cleanup crew never was aware of the defect to fix itg.
