Do not rent a car from Advantage

Get staff NOT TO LIE about tolls at the airport

When arriving at service desk to collect I was asked if I needed tolls paid upfront. I explained where I was staying and only travelling local except for a few days. I was told tolls were all around the area of my villa and be going through 3 regularly. I was told $9.99 a day which seemed high, however had bumped charges for extra taxes etc that accumulated a lot higher. This took advantage of me after a long travel day. I was only told negatives of not taking the pass by being told if I passed a toll and not paid I would be charged $25 admin on each toll. I was also told horror stories of people being faced with hundreds of pounds bills on return to uk from tolls and charges. I had pages and pages of document on a small pad to try and read and was rushed through as the service attendant was constantly having calls from someone to log out of the system. He said he was just finishing dealing with me and they rang yet again. I felt pushed into this which is very unfair and took advantage.

I am not from Florida and didn’t know I had to turn the SunPass off. I told the staff when I picked up the vehicle that I would be paying the tolls (total about $10 for the week). Because I didn’t turn off the pass, I was told I would either have to pay $10 per day I had the car (it ended up being $112 Canadian dollars) or pay an exuberant amount more because I’d pay a penalty of $25 per till. I should have just been charged at most for the 2 days I used the pass (to and from airport) at the very most given that I didn’t want the pass to begin with. Your staff needs to do a better job of explaining how the SunPass works. Their lack of communication cost me over $100

Everything was great - except we were told we would have a free second driver and were charged. The only way to be refunded was to go down to the main counter - which was very inconvenient when trying to get an international flight with 3 small children. I would have given 10/10 but I felt not being refunded was unfair.

Extra charge for spouse is very bad. No others do this!!! Also, I rented a RAV4 or equivalent and the Mitsubichi offered had much less storage capacity and would not hold the luggage so had to upgrade. Very disappointing
