I was price shopping for a rental car and found the best price offered through Economy Bookings for a rental car from Thrifty Car Rental. After I booked the reservation and paid in full I received my rental confirmation email which showed the funds in a foreign currency. I initially panicked and then researched reviews on the company. A deeper degree of panic set in due to all of the negative reviews. Referring back to my confirmation email there was a Thrifty specific reservation number so I went to Thrifty's website to cross-reference the confirmation number and no reservation was found. Intense panic, but then I called Thrifty's customer service and they pulled up my reservation with all the details with no issue. Pick up and return of the rental car was hassle free, prompt and overall a good deal.

Booked a car in Los Angeles and the agency Economy Bookings sent me to was a condo... the rental agency did not even exist! The car rental agency I used said I was the 5th or 6th person they had seen in a day who had been scammed by Economy. Bottom line... if you pay a deposit BEFORE you get the car... and the agency contact is in Eastern Europe... your rate is probably too good to be true. Total rubbish company... fought like the $#*!ens to get my deposit back. Beware!

Crap, $#*!e, bull$#*!, read all the reviews and make up your own mind... I wish the god I did.
Has a small accident, swerved to miss a motorbike coming around a bend on my side of the road and Iscraped a rock below the nearside door. Small scratch on sill.

I paid for the extra insurance with Economy Booking plus 1000 euros with the car hire company Budget to cover any damage. Economy Booking told me to pay this with a credit card and if no damage a full refund will be returned.

I was offered a refund of 930 Euros in one email and then I get an email today telling me that the refund is 317.15 Euro.

Sad to say it would have been better to have hit and possibly killed the biker, at least it would have been his fault... sad state of affairs.

Dont use this company.

Pissed off guy

Don't use this company or at least don't get their excess insurance.
I had a small accident and since I had excess insurance economy booking sent me an email they promising will refund me but THEY NEVER PAY.
I send many mails ans made a lot of calls, the always promise to pay me back buy the money doesn't com.

At first I was worried about my choice when I read some bad reviews online. Actually I found it to be untrue or just bad reviews from the competitors with higher prices. The service was understandable, price was even better than the rental company usually gives for that type of car. Only thing you need to do is check your booking status online and cancel the additional services that they advertise and you are good to go. I had funds taken from my account for one additional service (insurance), but after contacting with the company through e-mail, I was quickly reimbursed.
I would definately recommend the company services - just be sure to stay updated on your booking.

Verve Car Rental LLC charged me $ 150,00 US for a tire that went flat. It was parked in the Parking Garage of the hotel I was staying at. When I discovered the flat, I contacted the rental company ( which was only 4 miles away) and asked for "Road Side Assistance". They refused and told my that it was my problem. I contacted AAA who came to the hotel and changed the tire and discovered that it had a nail in it. I had not driven one inch after noticing the flat and the nail could have been in the tire right from the start. My initial contract with ECONOMY BOOKINS went from $377,98 US to $ 662,86 US for 10 day rental. E Badorek

I booked a car to be picked up in Rome Italy last april, I paid in full with american express. I downloaded the voucher they sent to me via email and on the voucher it clearly says when I pick up the car to bring the following a credit card, visa, master card or american express. When I got to the counter in Rome Gold car rental advised me that they need to put a hold on my credit card which the hold would be removed once I returned the car of 200 euros, I had no problem with that and gave them my american express. The goldcar company informed me that they do not accept american express therefore they could not give me the car that I had paid in full with economy booking. I moved over to the next desk and rented a car from another company for double of what I had already paid economy booking. At that time i figured i will deal with it on my return to the US. Once here they would not give me a refund because they said I never showed up. I provided american express with the copy of the voucher they sent to me, and a copy of another rental agreement for the new car dated and time stamped the day and hour I was to pick up the car in Rome, American express after investigating send me a reply and a copy of the voucher sent to them by economy booking, the copy sent to american express is exactly the same as my voucher except that it omits american express as one of the card i must produce to the counter in Rome. They altered the voucher to their favor, I have tried time and time again and the answers are the same. It finally got to the hands of the florida attorney general, it seems I am not the only one. STAY AWAY FROM ECONOMY BOOKING,

Economy Booking is NOT professional. We book a car on Saturday evening for Sunday at 12.00 but unfortunately the mail didn't come to my inbox or to my spam folder before 12.00. I lost my trip, my booking in the hotel and my money due their unprofessional system. In addition to that fact, i sent an email with this problem and i kindly asked for my money back. Economy booking claim that they sent the mail on Sunday... I AM REALLY SORRY. YOU DONT WORTH MY MONEY AND YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE.
