EconomyBookings Reviews Summary

EconomyBookings receives mixed feedback, with notable strengths in the professionalism and efficiency of some rental partners, contributing to positive customer experiences. However, a significant number of reviews highlight serious concerns regarding transparency, poor communication, and unresponsive customer service. Customers frequently report issues with booking confirmations, unclear cancellation policies, and difficulties in obtaining refunds, leading to frustration and financial loss. Overall, while there are isolated instances of satisfactory service, the overarching sentiment suggests a need for improved clarity in terms and conditions, as well as a more responsive customer support approach.

Externally and internally, it looked normal, was clean and did not let down on the road, which is certainly good, but every time I turned on the indicator, I thought that we had broken something), but on the whole everything is ok.

Worst site there is. You ask for 1600hrs to 1600hrs 11 days later and get 10am pick up and 10am dropoff. And then to change the drop-off you asked to pay extra. Avoid at all cost.

Worst customer Service EVER, Booked for 13 days Prepaid, Had to cut the Trip short 3 days, meaning prepaid $60. Called and see if they will work with a Customer that Rents in a Monthly basis, In a Broken English, keep telling me to look at the small prints, that I agreed to it... And I just happened to need another car in 2 weeks, SHE DIDNT CARE, she said you loose $60, no Big deal and quote, NEVER AGAIN, IF IT LOOKS CHEAP...

Everything went wrong
February 17, 2019

So I booked a Jeep Cherokee and paid an approximate 10 percent down payment a few weeks before my travel date. I realized after my confirmation came through that it is a company based in Latvia and that the reservation was made with Advantage Car Rental. In any event, when I arrived at Ft Lauderdale airport to pick up my vehicle, I was informed they don't even stock Jeep Cherokees. And what really pissed me off was that the advertised rental rate of $12.00 U.S. per day was inaccurate. It was almost twice as much. Advantage Car rental informed me that Economy Bookings always does this and does not disclose the full amount of the rental to the purchaser. In any event, I was offered a Nissan Rogue. When I walked out to the vehicle it had the license plate duct taped to the rear hatch and it smelled musty and of smoke inside. It was also missing head rests. I was offered another vehicle which was a Hyundai Santa Fe. It looked OK at first glance and didn't seem to have any odours so I took it. When I got to the condo and stepped walked away I notice a big dent from the bottom of the rear bumper to the top of the hatch. I certainly wasn't prepared to drive this around for a month so I called the Advantage 1 - 800 number and was informed I could bring it back to the airport and exchange it. My concern was that I didn't want them to think I had damaged the vehicle. I exchanged it for another much better condition Santa Fe which I had for approximately a month. I discovered they don't check the fluid levels in these vehicles as the radiator fluid reservoir was empty as was the windshield washer fluid. In addition there was a big bolt or piece of metal approximately 5 inches long stuck in the right rear fender well which I removed as I did not wish it to slip out and possible damage or cause an accident on the highway. When I returned the car approximately one month later, I asked the girl how much mileage I had put on it and she informed me, only 400 miles. I said that I should receive a low mileage discount and she ignored my comment! First and last time I'll be using this company!

Good
February 14, 2019

Economy Bookings, however, was the worst experience I have ever had. They charged 300 percent more than what I booked, which was a car for $15 per day for 5 days. $75 plus taxes and fees right? Apparently those idiots at economybookings went to a different school of math, because they charged me over $300. When I called to question, hold times were almost an hour, online chat was almost non existent, and when I finally got someone on the phone, they refused to give me a breakdown itemized with all these mysterious junk fees. It was classic bait and switch, and they blatantly ripped me off! Did I mention they are Latvian? Maybe that is the way business is done in Latvia? They are not an honorable company, but not only are they unscrupulous, I believe they committed a crime. I will report them to the BBB and appropriate authorities. DO NOT USE ECONOMY BOOKINGS. INSTEAD CALL YOUR RENTAL CAR COMPANY DIRECTLY!
