Advantage Rent A Car is privately held by Denny Hecker Family Ventures, with executive offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and whose principal business location is in San Antonio, Texas. The company serves travel and leisure, lifestyle, business, government and insurance replacement rentals in 50 U.S. locations and 130 affiliates internationally.
History
In 1963 a small business called “Three Ninety-Nine Car Rentals” opened its doors serving the large military population in San Antonio, Texas. Growing very quickly over the next 20 years into feeder and leisure markets throughout the western United States, in 1985 the operation was consolidated under one name – Advantage Rent A Car. Initially serving the government traveler, Advantage expanded by developing market share in the local retail and airport markets. Today, expansion of the Advantage brand continues throughout the U.S. into the Sunbelt states and major leisure airport markets with new corporate and franchise locations.
In 2001, Advantage attained worldwide presence by launching an affiliate partnership program that has grown to an international network serving more than 35 countries, and in 2008, the company garnered national news by announcing that it is America’s first major car rental company committed to going 100 percent green and providing environmentally conscientious travelers with a fleet of fuel efficient vehicles by the end of 2010.
