On SmartCustomer, businesses may not offer incentives or pay to remove reviews. Learn more about our Review Guidelines.
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.

I liked this company Great value! Request a car and the only reliable and safe car rental service was perfect
I really liked this company because they offered me an excellent comfortable and spacious car for my whole family, and especially at a very good price every time I come to this company I recommend it
Very kind person, the attention to the client is first, I made my reservation and when I arrived at the airport I was attended and they gave me the car that I rented, totally in perfect conditions and hygienic, without a doubt one of the best companies,
Great car! Great value! My only negative renting a luxury car, it should have navigation. Also explain what turnpike fees and mean. Also have a sheet that tells you what station has the traffic report. Not being from Florida you have no idea what to listen to.
There is so much small print, extra charges for not having the correct INSURANCES, yes PLURAL, even though I had confirmed on phone that the Third party CWD insurance was adequate, plus the $10 extra per day THEY charge for not buying their $27.99 a day insurance. Then they wanted us to pay for towing and additional insurance. And In Florida you MUST pay $10 extra a day for the road toll charges, even if you do not use this. This is not stated anywhere on their website. If you use them, make sure to ask all the RIGHT questions, and read all the small print 10 times.
Request a car and without wasting time I was given, the treatment of the staff with the clients is insurmountable, very friendly and efficient. They are probably the best in your country. Congratulations for such excellent service.
We arranged to pick up a car for a weekly rental from Thrifty at Ft Lauderdale. When we went to the desk to pick up the car, we had the documentation from the prepaid reservation along with a valid driver's license and credit card. We were denied the reservation due to the reservation being from out of country but having a USA driver's license. We had to make a second reservation, and EconomyBookings denied our request for a refund, stating we were a "no show". We sent proof that we were there, on time, and even had an alternative rental. They stated that "no show" can mean many things, and that we were just out of luck.
They are a bunch of crooks, and should be put out of business.
I rented a car with them and also subscribed for a full coverage request. Unfortunately I had an accident and followed all the informations on the site to have the refund providing all the detais. I am still waiting fo a reply and the refund!

Follow up. After several mail they stated that payment would be made after 35 working days... The payment was supposed to be made today but I received a mail stating that "fue to some technical issues the reimbursements will be processed within 60 working days".
This is shameful!
I have no other words. I will pursue the matter with a lawyer and try to make the worst possible pubblicity on all social media!

Follow up.
In a last mail 10 days ago they announced the financial department would make the payment had "been processed on 5. 11. 2018". And also said that I would "receive the refund to your card as soon as operation between banks is completed. It can take from 3 to 28 business days, but usually up to 5 days."
Obviously 5 days have passed but nothing on the card.
My accident happened at the start of august! OF AUGUST! WE ARE IN NOVEMBER!
--- Follow up on november 30th
Since the start of november I have sent 6 mails asking for news.
NO ANSWER WHATSOVER! SHAMEFUL!
Ordered a car to the airport, thought you were late, but no. You have arrived just in time, I would not be surprised if it was even earlier. You have a good approach to work, I like it
I thought
Someone to ask for a car, I found you, I ordered to rent from you, you
Gave me the right car in time, for which I am writing this review
How nice and cool when you can do and do your job effectively. I think you're the best in your country
какой хороший автомобиль показал мне его качество и особенно его скорость на 4 колесах, я надеюсь получить его
The awesome site has already been subscribed to your group on Facebook in the future I will forget about your lectures!
I rented a car, paid over $58.00, and when I arrived on time at the airport, the car company stated I was a "no show" as I was on the phone with them to get picked up at the off site car rental designated area. I arrived on time! When I made the car reservations, I noted on the form the time of flight arrival. I contacted the car rental company on schedule, (don't every use Mex Rent A Car!), they were rude and didn't offer any assistance. When I contacted Economy Bookings, they stated they contacted the car rental company who said I was a "no show". A big rip off and poor customer service! I will never use them again.
WORST company, with terrible terms and service. They have only business, to trap customers and seize their money. You pay, they do not serve and they do not make refund! Never, ever deal with the economybookings.com
Приемете моето огромно благодарствие за бързото отзоваване! Всичко беше организирано бързо, успокояващо и отговорно! Препоръчвам на всички Е conomyBooking!
From the booking to picking up the car everthing was superb. I was reluctant to hire a car thinking will I have problems picking up the car and will they have the booking on their system. But it was all fantastic.
Пользуюсь этой возможностью, чтобы поздравить с великими обязательствами, которые эта компания имеет с ее клиентами. Я думаю, что это очень полный сервис и доступные цены. Мне нравится, что они могут предложить разнообразный каталог автомобилей.
Компания поддерживает контакт на протяжении всего процесса отбора, аренды и доставки автомобиля. Я рекомендую его очень. В наше время очень мало компаний, которые создают доверие, но это прекрасно.
SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! Utterly disgusted and disappointed with economybookings.com. I verbally spoke to their consultant on the phone and she said I had to provide my Visa card so I don't lose the hold on the car. A couple days later my daughter checked my internet banking for me and I noticed they have taken money out of my account without my authorisation. I spoke to another consultant and he said to have a full refund I need to email a complaint. However over 2 weeks later I have a response that they cannot refund as it is over 24hours. I rang again and explained I didn't ask for this extra insurance as I already have it with Europcar. The consultant refused to refund, or even give me his name to form a complaint and disgusted that he hung up on me. DON'T ASSOCIATE WITH ECONOMY BOOKINGS!
La mejor empresa, yo rente un auto con ellos, me fueron a recojer al aeropuerto, el auto es higienico y en perfectas condiciones, sin esperas, todo fue rapido y facil
Answer: They do not just delay. When something goes wrong, they never intend to make good ony any of their promises: they do not call or write back, they do not follow up, and sure as hell they do not pay you anything unless you force them to, and that (in my experience) can only be done via the courts. This company is rotten and everyone should stay away from them.
Answer: Economy Booking is based in Europe and is impossible to deal with. I would never use them again. I got my money back (the down payment taken off at the time of booking) by using better Business Bureau and going after the US rental company.
Answer: A complete shambolic company that cons people out of money!
Answer: Theft Company (Economy Booking) ever because they will steal your money and they don't respect the customer.
Answer: You can't. They aren't to be trusted
