The only issue I had was with the return. Picked up the vehicle about 4 hours later than originally planned because flights were late and missed connecting flight. Originally planned to drop off vehicle at return location at 8:00 p.m. I travelled on the mid-night flight out of Calgary but flight was delayed just over an hour. By the time I got to Toronto and US Immigration my connecting flight had already left. The airline reschedule me on the next available flight which departed 4 hours later. I called Budget and explained what had happened and was told no problem. They will hold the car. Picked up the car and drove to my destination (1 hour, 10 Minutes) away. By this time I was extremely time and now 40 hours without sleep. I called Budget and asked if it would be okay to drop the car off early next morning. I was told there will be an additional charge because I was supposed to drop the car off by 8 p.m. even though the car was picked up 4 hours later than planned. I was disappointed with their decision since the vehicle would of been returned several hours before the 24 hours expiry. Because of this Budget is now at the bottom of my list as a rental option.

Car was ok. Older model (probably hence the cheaper price). Absolutely have to bring insurance card otherwise you will not be able to get your car. Rented from many different rental companies and have never had to bring a physical card to get a rental. As I received my vehicle, I was given a paper to fill out of any existing dents or tears. This, again is something I have never had to do with no other rental company. Felt like I was doing someone else’s job but ok. Otherwise okay, convenient in airport pickup and drop off.

What you order online versus what you get when you actually pick up your vehicle are 2 very different things. Then when you ask about getting a vehicle that’s to spec of what you ordered they try to charge you significantly more money. I won’t be renting from Ace again.

I will never get back the time I lost. It took close to two hours to get the car, the car had a very strong smell of pot, and the big rub is the quote price does not include insurance, not even base line you must pay extra, I felt like I bought a gallon of milk at a good price, then I was told I had to pay extra for the container. I felt is was a quote one price and add to it scam. I will never ever rent a drug smelly car from scammers again

They gave me a hard time about my paper proof of insurance. They demanded that I download an app. I did, but verification went to my spouses email who was not with me. It was a huge waste of time, and they finally did accept my paper insurance. There was no reason to give me a hard time about it. It took almost an hour to check in, and there was only one person ahead of me. The car they gave me was in poor condition, had not been cleaned as there were still wrappers and water bottles under the seats, along with stains all over the seats. The engine mainenance was beeping at us for 300 miles, and we could not go over 60 mph without the car shaking a lot. So driving on the freeway was awful. I can't believe they gave me a car in this condition. Drop off was also hard because there was no one in the parking lot. We walked all around and finally found someone behind the desk who seemed annoyed at our arrival. Will never use Easirent again.

Everything went smooth, the staff was friendly and we had a clean car. No complaints on anything there. Wasn't too clear if we needed to schedule a pick up shuttle from the airport, but we just waited for about 10 minutes and the shuttle came. Would rent from here again without hesitation

Unfortunate timing: I picked up the car when the rental agencies were located in terminal but they moved off terminal the next day so that I had to drop off at a new location off terminal with a very bumpy train ride to the terminal. It wasn’t enterprise’s fault but the Tampa airport expansion now requires you to take this train from the rentals to a confusing interim location and then take another train to get to the gates, with insufficient signage.

The man who showed me to my car was very nice but I have to say that it felt like a scam when he first asked me did I want to upgrade (and pay the difference) from the economy car I had reserved (I did not) and then upgraded me anyway because there were no economy size left — so had I said yes I would have paId unnecessarily instead of getting the upgrade at no extra charge per standard practice when no cars in your reserved class are available. He then tried a hard sell on getting me to purchase insurance, to the point of scare tactics no other rental agency has ever used on me (“you’ll pay the rental rate every day after you return the car until your insurance company settles the claim”), which left me feeling extremely paranoid the entire trip, when I have used my own insurance for rentals every time in my 20+ years of renting cars (and never before felt so paranoid about some other driver dinging my rental).

Car just as described. Good price for the rental. Located right at the airport so no shuttle, and pickup was very quick.

Pickup sacrificed speed for detail (would have purchased a toll package if I was told it was available) and dropoff was disorganized (was a busy time for returns, to be fair).

We booked through Priceline and we were supposed to get a jaguar and it was not available. Then the gentlemen was pushy with the additional products and especially paying for gas up front when we knew we were not going to use all of the gas. He was rude at the Tampa airport. He was not helpful. We literally were only driving from Tampa to Miami due to a flight cancellation and we stopped to use a restroom and our battery died. It was all a terrible experience and we feel we should be compensated for the stress, time and extra aggravation that we were caused. Thanks and have a great!

FYI: the staff is trying to scam you the moment you walk up. The price you see on Kayak has no bearing on what they’ll try to charge you at the counter. Never using Kayak or Avis again.

Upon my arrival, a sign indicated to go to another car rental place due to Advantage being closed. Was not able to pay cash upon drop off which I was told that I could at drop off. The car was not adequate in size as per advertised. It indicated 4 suitcase, however only 2 medium size fit in the back.

Cleaning of the back seat, stains were really visible after you let the arm rest up.

Upon arrival in TPA we found the Advantage desk was closed and nearby car rental agencies said that Advantage had been closed for more than two months although we had received no notification. We called the phone number listed on our reservation only to be directed to a call center that could neither help us obtain a rental car with another agency nor assist us in any way. Advantage appears to be a scam and Kayak should not make any reservations with them.

My reservation number was NPRL8BADE5 The experience was actually less than POOR. It was awful. I had my reservation for a four day minivan rental from Tampa and back to Tampa . Saturday, Feb 19 - Wednesday, Feb 23 , 8am . I went to the Advantage booth to pick up my minivan at 8am on Feb 19 ........ AND THERE WAS NO ONE WORKING AT THE ADVANTAGE BOOTH. Basically, it was closed. Another worker from ACE rent a car came over and said........."Advantage has been closed for a while now." WHAT ???? I called the Advantage toll free number. The receptionist said she was going to call the local Tampa number and I waited on HOLD. After a few minutes, she came back and said ........"nobody answered, can you try the 800 number back in 10 minutes?" I said........"I'm here. There's no one here." And, I then took another half hour and proceeded to go past every rental agency in the airport and (being a school holiday week)......they were all "sold out." I had booked my rental van on July 6, 2021. That would be over 7 months ahead of time. So, my question is ..........should I NOT use Advantage Car Rental again ? Or, should I NOT use Kayak again ? My name is Gary Hovhanessian. I can be reached at garyhov@aol.com or by cell , 860-690-5959 . I will NOT answer a number I don't recognize so if I am called a message should be left and I will return the call. I do NOT expect to get charged for any van rental because there was NO ONE at Advantage to rent the van from.

Advantage never showed up at 7 a.m. at the desk in Tampa. Ace Rental took my reservation at 7. They got into Advantage's computer. The car's transmission started having problems half way through the drive from Tampa Airport to my destination in Ft. Myer's. I called Ace, they called back and asked if I wanted a tow truck to tow me back. I said no as the car somehow readjusted itself when I turned it off and restarted it. Then I continued on the highway, and the transmission started having trouble again. I could only go 40 in a 70 mph zone. It was dangerous. Advantage said I did not show up for my rental. I said yes, but Ace took it over. I was told that was not possible. It was. The check engine light turned on. I sat for 30 minutes on a road off of the highway. I was told people would call me. They did not. I drive 30 mph to get to my sister's house with noises under the car. I finally made it to my sister's house. Later that evening, a tow truck dropped off a different car and took that one. The man could barely drive the car up onto the truck. He has to back it up and gun it. What should have taken me 2 hrs and 10 minutes took 5.5 hours. I understand that cars have mechanical issues. But it was the lack of communication and failure to take responsibility by the staff that was the most troublesome. I am considering challenging the charge on the car with the company because of the personal danger I was in on the highway, and the stress/amount of time it took to get to Ft. Myers. Paula Coffee

The first car had a front end shake at 44 mph and I had to drive it back over the bridge. Very unsafe and scary!!!! Advantage should have sent someone to pick this car up from me. This could have become a serious liability. I was not offered anything for the inconvenience and safety. Very dissatisfied!
