Pros: The staff was friendly but they couldn't help me with a problem I experienced.

Cons: Somehow, my rental was at JFK instead of LGA. I asked if I could return at LGA, after an Uber ride to JFK. It could not be changed by staff or the customer service without a $200 fee. There was no way to prevent me leaving an interview early, and spending more than renting from someone else.

the good and the bad

Pros: Price was excellent Vehicle was clean and in good working order. Drop-off was simple and efficient once you know where to go. drop off attendant was super friendly.

Cons: Directions for advantage could not be found and had to make three cabs to find the right location. next time say to follow the hertz signs. Got a bigger SUV instead of the minivan which was harder for older people to get on and off. Unable to avoid toll service charge as there was no toll booths to accept cash payment, billed by license plate.

Non-Refundable

Cons: Kayak stated clearly on the booking that it was 100% refundable until 24 hours before the pickup. I had a family emergency and lost my travel plans. The rental company refused to give me a refund saying that my reservation was completely non refundable. Kayak is dishonest.

A bit troublesome

Pros: The folks working there were very pleasant.

Cons: Several things about the car weren't working properly. The tires were low on air, which meant I needed to fill the tires up. Though I'm 5'4, I could barely see over the steering wheel the seat was so low. And at one point, the car stalled out when I was on a freeway ramp, which was a bit unnerving. Getting the car and returning it was troublesome as well. Took nearly an hour of standing on line and getting thru the paperwork to get out of the front door. When returning the car, it was snowing and it was hazardous to get it where we needed to hand it over. Oh, and we were pulled over by a police officer and there was no registration in the car. All in all, I would not rent from this company again.

Pros: The price was very affordable. Both drivers that picked me up or dropped me in lga were very nice and friendly.

Cons: The ladies at the desk were disasters. They were busy playing with each other instead of assisting customers. I had to reminder them many time that I had to go. The lady that help helped to me said I had to upgrade because my car size was not available even though reserved ahead of time. Which I declined but she charged me aways for the upgrade. I spent over 30 mins to get my rental.

Pros: Car was pretty good

Cons: The guy working the desk must have been in a super crappy mood.... Also, it should be stated somewhere that 21-24 yr olds are charged an additional $75. I googled before hand and read numerous places that said $25. Super lame it didn’t say $75 anywhere...I am a college student and can’t be randomly charged that much, super mad about that.

Beat up car, surprise charges, other than that how was the play?

Pros: Very helpful at drop off. Employees were friendly. Convenient location at Federal Circle near JFK.

Cons: Didn't have mild sized SUV I ordered so upgraded me to a gas guzzler. Meh Car had large dent on hood, minor collision damage on rear wheel well and many scratches. Large stain on passenger seat. Naturally, I was responsible for documenting this. Surprise! Most of NY's bridges are 'Easypass' only. No cash lanes. NY State will mail you a bill, but the rental company charges an additional $25 per toll as a fee. So they helpfully offer to rent you an all you can eat Easypass at $26 a day that includes tolls. It's fine if you are in the Metropolitan area and going across bridges each day, might be a $5-10 premium. But if you're renting to drive upstate for a few days, it becomes highway robbery, pay four $6 tolls plus four $25 charges =$124 or four days @$26 =$104.

Worst experience ever!!!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything but what stands out most is the lack of communication between Advantage and Kayak and the fact that not only was I not given my rental car to continue on to my next destination but I had to pay to cancel my reservation not by my fault “ I might add ! I made reservations two weeks before hand and payed in advance with my credit card and was still refused rental then had to pay cancellation fee !

Streetside parking in New York City is incredibly difficult to find, especially in areas such as Manhattan. Thus, many drivers rely heavily on parking garages for both daily and hourly parking. However, planning must be done in advance as many of the garages can fill up fast, so it pays to plan ahead of time to know which garages are most convenient for your destination.
