Overall average experience

I was told that the vehicle was upgraded I said I didn't want to pay for an upgrade. I was assured it was for the same price. Yet to confirm that as not yet seen my bank statement. I was told I needed more insurance and the gas tank filled option. So giving me an upgrade weakened my resistance.

Easy to book on line. Had no problem there.

Guy at counter said card would be charged $200 deposit, then tried charging $440 to card, when questioned he said I had NO insurance cover for vehicle, a lie as after insisting that I was not paying a Dollar more than I had pre paid he the printed out thecontract which showed the cover paid for. I got an Intermediate car not the Compact booked but probably only because it was out of state registered and had body damage on the drivers door. Trying to find the Advantage section in the garage takes ages as the signage is useless. Counter staff need to tell you how to find the car not try ripping you off with lies. A crap company I will be reluctant to use again.

The Advantage staff at the counter insisted that I need to buy their insurance despite of having super cover insurance and telling me that the police will fine me for not having proper insurance, after I denied he started showing a very bad attitude. I was given a smaller car, dirty and involved in an accident. This is a second time having a very bad experience with Advantage.

Everything was excellent.

Get staff NOT TO LIE about tolls at the airport

We get up to the booth after waiting almost an hour and the girl asks how many we have in our party. I reply 2 kids and 2 adults. The girl says you are renting this car for 15 days and are going to hate it because it wont fit everything we need. She then says no problem we can give you an SUV. Which sounded great, she did all the paperwork just to find out she tried to charge me an extra 300 dollars as an upgrade fee. I told her that I don't want to spend an extra 300 when I already spent almost 500 on the vehicle already. She then replied all well enjoy the small car that wont fit everybody. I then asked for the manager and he came over and said yup nothing I can do unless you want to pay more money and then left. They said I already got "too good of a deal online that they cant do anything for me". I asked if I could cancel my rental and they told me to call online because that's who I booked through. Absolutely Terrible customer Service.
