From: Kirk from Iowa on 27 Jul 2010 21:10 I usually use Thrifty and saw that Advantage is pretty cheap right now for Oct. 31 to Nov. 6 trip. Thrifty is at $231 for the week and Advantage is $155 for a Chevy Cobalt. Thrifty is around $200 if I book 31 to 4th and 4th to 6th. Any problems with advantage, I've been happy with Thrifty the last 5 trips or so. Thanks

Some not-so-good reviews at Yelp... http://www.yelp.com/biz/advantage-rent-a-car-las-vegas-2 Then again, a lot of car-rental reviews seem to be horror stories. Myself, I've not used Advantage either, so I'd probably book the Thrifty for $200 if it's refundable, and keep looking for a better deal. --- Walt

(It will compare ALL major rental agencies.) One thing to take into account is that with certain promotional offers on mileage, a "more expensive" rental can actually be less expensive. When a car rental company affiliated with Southwest offers quadruple credit on rentals, for instance, it means that renting a car for a weekend gives you as much Rapid Rewards credit as taking a round trip (2 credits; 16 credits gets you a free round trip). I usually value a round-trip Southwest flight at around $300, so each Southwest Rapid Rewards credit is worth $20 to me. This is an offer for Thrifty right now: http://www.thrifty.com/Deals/Partners/WN21.aspx Sometimes they offer 4x credit (this one is double credit). It would seem Advantage does not offer frequent flyer award credit. Rob "Fancypants" Taylor Rob "Fancypants" Taylor

I did find some poor reviews( from Yelp I think) about Advantage so I think I'll stick with Thrifty. Thanks, Kirk
