I'm not sure "no advantage whatsoever" applies in all cases.
They often run promos for bonus miles booking directly through their website. They also run promos if you are an elite member. This on top of the daily rate (ie: 200-300 miles per day now on Avis). A 3-day rental nets around 1000 miles. Priced the same, why not book thru ua.com?
Though the point of the thread was not to discuss advantages/disadvantages, but that the site is not clear where in a given city your car is to be picked up from. It implies airport locations only, but does not explicitly state it
