Why not try one of Tennessee’s most beloved cars during your stay and opt for a Ford F-150 to discover the American driving style with a real pick-up truck? This car is a good choice when venturing out into adjoining areas and the countryside, but if staying within Downtown Nashville, opt for a compact car that will whizz through the city easier.
If heading through residential areas, the speed limit is 30 mph, whereas it is 55 in two-lane roads and 70 mph on freeways. Always look out for posted signs and adhere to their given speed limit as well as the road and weather conditions.

Overall the van was in good condition and comfortable, and was the best value available for what we needed.10.0 Wonderful

Mar 2021
Pros:
The gentlemen at the gate leaving the rental parking lot was friendly and welcoming.Cons:
There was a long line to pick up outside, we had a reservation for a specific time. Also, when I book there was the option for economy, compact and “staff choice” for the same price, choose staff choice and got the smallest car available (economy), I would have picked compact if I knew. The wait at the airport was the worse for sure, it was windy and cold. We found out later they had a counter indoors but there was no signage guiding us.7 locations in Nashville

The pickup was a pain. There were no signs telling me where to find the Payless counter. The car shakes at highway speeds (I assume wheel balancing is needed) and 2 of the tires were at 22 PSI, SO I had to put air in them once I got it8.0 Very good

Jul 2017
Cons:
Just as preface, this happened on July 4th Weekend. We booked a car on Kayak with "unlimited mileage". When we got to the counter at Advantage, they mentioned that this only applies to residents outside of the local area, so we were told that we had to pay an extra $20 a day to get unlimited mileage. Needless to say, we were not happy, and we decided to go to another car rental company in the same area. We had to pay much more since we did not reserve it ahead of time. But I would rather pay more with a company I trust than to ever deal with Kayak or Advantage ever again! I was very disappointed!7.6 Good

Pros:
Good price, fast check in/out process.Cons:
The 1st car had heavy cigarette smell. I had requested a smoke free vehicle. The 2nd car they gave me was smaller than the 1st one and I'm 6'8". Um...Hello?! The 3rd car was an upgrade and very roomy and comfortable. Once I received an acceptable car it was a great experience.10.0 Wonderful

May 2017
Pros:
NothingCons:
The Customer Service was horrible both online and over the phone. When I reserved my vehicle it stated that I will have unlimited mileage but when I arrived to pick up the vehicle the man states that they have a new policy that only allows 260 miles a day because I was a resident of Tennessee. I told the guy that I was as driving to Miami and needed the unlimited plan. He basically told me sorry but I can't do anything about it. I called to speak with someone over the phone and she was even ruder than the man at the counter. Overall, I wouldn't recommend anyone to use their service. I ended up having to drive my own car to Miami not to mention it was a 1,000 miles away. I reserve my vehicle months and ahead of the new policy and they still wouldn't honor it.2.0 Poor
