The car was a diesel and very economical and reliable with no problems. Other than the minor cleaning problem I will be using them again. Good value and service.

Received really fast confirmation(in a few hours) for a reservation for the next day. It was a nice car without any issues. There was no problem about picking up or dropping

Don't go there.
May 13, 2019

I booked with them in Jan-2019 for April-2019 I paid 56 CAD for full cover insurance.
When I arrived to pick up the car, they said that I don't have insurance and it is not include all the tax. In the end I was charge 200 more. When you tying to call them, you can't get someone. You only can send an email and after two weeks they said this is what should be we can do anything.

I did business with one of their subsidiaries. They ignore my requests for refund on a large overcharge on a car. Total bait and switch operation. All the positive reviews on social media's and their own website are fake reviews. Beware of the parent company and any other subsidiary.

I booked a car 6 weeks ago. The bill surprised us with extra costs which were not told before. Rude service. We cancelled after a day. We still do not have the money back. Fraudsters!

Stay away!
I booked a car with this company. When I arrived at the airport and went to the car rental we didn't have a credit card under the drivers name.
My partner said that he would go to the hotel to pick it up as he left it there and he was in Italy before me.
The girl at the desk said that if we do not want to come back to the airport to get the car we could just leave it and we would be refunded.
We followed her advice, got another car from elsewhere and when I returned to the UK i was told that I cannot be refunded.
I keep emailing the company asking for someone to explain to me why I was told different at the airport and nobody is responding to my email
Terrible terrible customer service
I cannot believe that in one place I am told different than the other and now everyone is ignoring me

I booked a car in Scotland using the app. After using the app I did not get any confirmation e-mails so thought the app didnt not work correctly. I tried again. Same problem. I presumed no car had been book due to lack of contact so I booked with another company. I checked my credit card after my holiday and I had in fact been charged for BOTH rentals despite never having any contact with anyone. I have complained via e-mail and am yet to receive a response to my numerous e-mails. I have not been refunded so I am out of pocket around 500 AUD. Absolutely disgraceful company. Do not use them.

This Company will not deal with you after you have purchased. They will tell all sorts of lies about terms and conditions and pricing to get you to buy and then you will never get the car or a refund. Told Excess and deposit was £200 and on arrival it was £2000!
COMPLET SCAM BASED OUT OF LATVIA. DO NOT BE FOOLED!

Watch the video of us (and about 20 others) stuck waiting for our car rentals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVdfisXTISY

Companies like bookinggroup over book cars and think its fine to have you waiting for 2 or more hours.

We had to cancelled our trip due to the delay and customer service has been dodging us.

Rented a car through economybooking and everything went well in the first place. After having contact with there customer service department they promised me that the car at bargain rentals would be a 4wd but at arrival it was a 2wd. Obviously I took the car because I needed to travel through the Aussie outback (needed to drive a different route as well because of the 2wd). After contacting them if they could solve the matter by arranging an exchange I was helped in a lazy unprofessional manner. They are not willing to help me and they blame it on either me or the rental company they work with, which is ridiculous while it's their fault providing the wrong information. Not ever going to rent a car through this website ever again. Cheers TW

Rip off agency!
January 8, 2019

We leased a car to be picked up in another city for our daughter. When she went to pick up the car they refused because she was not the credit card holder. I called the agency and asked to not be charged as the car was never used. They refused and charged my credit card $276.00. FOR NOTHING!
