The beginning
In 1963, Kenneth & Helen Walker of San Antonio, Texas opened a small business called "Three Ninety-Nine Car Rentals." They had five automobiles, five children/employees and a lot of dreams.

A new way of doing business
As San Antonio was a popular, fast-growing city with a large military population, the Walkers recognized its potential. But they also recognized something else perhaps more important. To compete successfully with other, larger car rental companies, they would have to offer customers an exemplary product at the most affordable price with easy options and provide service above and beyond what everyone else offered.

All operations are consolidated
With the continued success of the family’s operations, the Walker children opened over a dozen additional rental locations. And in 1985, the decision was made to consolidate these operations under one name – Advantage Rent-A-Car. With locations across Texas and throughout the western US, Advantage is now the largest independently owned car rental company in the region.

Different types of locations help serve you better
In order to serve untapped markets, management has decided not to concentrate on just one type of rental office. Besides convenient airport locations, Advantage has opened offices throughout many cities and countries, allowing the company to more efficiently service customers in its leisure, corporate, government contract and insurance replacement markets.

Advantage USA is still owned by the Walker family who maintain a close contact with their many affiliates and frnachises throughout the world.

Advantage Mexico
