Advantage Rent-A-Car Franchise

Advantage Rent-A-Car is a franchise for a car rental business. It used to be called “Three Ninety-Nine Rentals” which was initially put up to serve a great number of military population in San Antonia, Texas.

That was in 1993. The Denny Hecker family used to own this private car rental company until it was acquired by Hertz corporation in 2009. It quickly expanded on the next 20 years. The Western United States retail and airports were covered with their services. They launched a partnership with the Advantage Company in 1985 and the name was changed to Advantage Rent-A-Car. In 2001, it became known worldwide. Their target was to provide business, leisure, and government with a broad range of vehicle rental services. It now has over 150 locations in the United States and 130 locations in 33 other countries.

Advantage Rent-A-Car has had a number of milestones in their many years of experience. I will give you a few. They announced their first franchise opening in Memphis, Tennessee in June of 2008. The second franchise was opened in Pittsburgh International airport, also in June of 2008. The following month, the third location was opened in the Chicago Midway Airport. In July 2008, they had a partnership with Tourism Radio offering a GPS service that will have a virtual tour guide for tourists in Hawaii. Also in July 2008, they partnered with GayTravel.com. At that same time, a partnership was built with Drive America that made it possible for them to provide 24 hour roadside assistance for their car rental customers. In October of 2008, they launched their Senior Advantage car rental program which gives everyone 50 years old and above discounts without having to go through the hassle of presenting documents. In November of 2008, they started renting out high-end luxury cars like Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Range Rover, and Mercedes for their customer who wants to always arrive in style even when they’re away travelling without their own cars.
