Advantage Rent A Car Answers the Age-Old Question: 'Yes, It Pays to Get Older'

MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwire - October 2, 2008) - Advantage Rent A Car is rolling out its new Senior Advantage car rental program that has customers excited about reaching their golden years more than ever.

That's because at Advantage, growing older means you get great savings without the hassle of a lot of restrictions associated with senior discounts. You don't need a coupon, you aren't restricted to renting on a certain day of the week, and you don't even have to be a member of any retirement organizations. In fact, you don't even have to be age 55 or 60.

The Senior Advantage program is available to customers age 50 and better who rent a great new car from Advantage. For an economy car through full size car at just $25 per day or a minivan and small SUV for only $35 per day, seniors can get the car they want for a price they can afford.

"I'm excited about our Senior Advantage program being set up to include people starting at age 50 because we plan on keeping these customers for the next 30-plus years," said Denny Hecker, Chairman at Advantage.

Advanced reservations are required, and vehicles are subject to availability. Holiday and blackout dates may apply. To book your next car rental, please visit www.advantage.com/seniors or call 800-777-5500 and request rate code: ADMSCS. Full terms and conditions can also be found on the website.
