Advantage Rent A Car announces the latest expansion of its domestic network into the key market of Orlando, Florida offering service to the Orlando International Airport, the gateway to central and north Florida. The last 90 days saw the Advantage brand expand into Honolulu, Hawaii, Minneapolis, Minnesota and Las Vegas, Nevada, and with a strong footprint in America’s top leisure destinations from the ski slopes of Colorado and Utah to the beaches of California, this newest store opening is consistent with its growth plan.

The recent acquisition of Eagle Rent A Car will give Advantage presence in both the airport and local markets in Orlando. With a young and diverse fleet of vehicles, convenient airport pick-up, extraordinarily clean facilities and the best customer care in Orlando, Advantage continues to delight their customer's rental experience through the availability of a new state-of-the-art level of service. Their customers may now enjoy GPS rental units, providing the added benefit of real-time driving directions and efficient trip planning.

Customers traveling to Orlando International Airport, the largest rental car market in the world, are advised to use the courtesy phone located in the baggage claim areas and ground levels of the airport for convenient pick-up.
