Advantage Rent A Car AWARDED RENTAL SERVICE CONTRACT WITH STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (December, 2004). Advantage Rent A Car has been awarded the state of California rental contract for 2005 along with six other rental car vendors. This announcement comes on the heels of the recent release of Starlink, a program designed and developed at Advantage that allows the user online account management from billing to rental activity to reservation modifications. This program is successfully used by state of Texas travel managers for their car rental program and will be offered for use by state of California travelers as well.

“We are excited to join the state of California travel team,” says Robert K. Walker, President. “Our variety of new Chrysler vehicles with state of the art features, advanced automation to offer the state of California traveler more flexibility and a service commitment by the entire Advantage Rent A Car team, positions us as a perfect fit in this new partnership.”

Advantage will launch a series of special promotions for the state of California traveler beginning in January, 2005.
