In 1963, a small business called “Three Ninety-Nine Car Rentals” opened its doors serving the large military population in San Antonio, Texas. Initially serving the government traveler, they expanded very quickly over the next 20 years into feeder and leisure markets including local retail and airport markets located throughout the Western United States, the operation was later consolidated in 1985 under the name – "Advantage Rent a Car".
As the 1990s progressed, expansion of the Advantage brand continued throughout the U.S. into the Sunbelt states and major leisure airport markets. In 2001, Advantage attained worldwide presence by launching an affiliate partnership program that grew to an international network serving more than 33 countries.
