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.

Best rented company
February 3, 2021

We went to pick up a rental on a Saturday mid morning- shortly after being side- swiped by a truck in our own car- So to say our nerves were frazzled already would he a major understatement!

Would def return.

They were also thoroughly informative while breezing through all the extra details and did not aggressively up sell anything I wasn't interested in. I did purchase the two insurance add-ons, but only because I wanted to.

Not 13 bucks a day
February 2, 2021

They advertise $13 per day, then charge supposed taxes and fees. Well it ended up $35 bucks a day for an economy car at thrifty, plus when i got to Tampa. Thrifty charged another $89 in fees, so it ended up 44 dolars a day begore the $92 of insurance that thrifty said i didnt have.

I had to recently cancel a car rental with EconomyBookings due to COVID-19 and they stated they were going to issue a refund. I never received a "email confirmed" refund within 90 days of canceling our rental as they stated in the email. Every time I try call to try to dispute the claim, they hang up on me. I even tried using the credit I had from the cancelation to re-book another rental, they said they'd call me back in a few min to finish the rental agreement and I never received a call. I tried calling back a few minutes later and they were closed for the day.

My only complaint.
Car and counter, check in, return done very well.
In my original booking on January 2,2021 I indicated the choice to have AAO. The system acknowledged the request but DID NOT PREVIEW, WARN OR ADD THE ADDITIONAL $$$ Amount in the estimate, or $323.00 charge. At Counter, very awkward, to add $226.00 about for 14 days. I could have secured other true price options within your Companies website. I should have been informed at least of the extra charge. Not ALL companies charge the extra amount, or at least, its declared in advance.
Please consider a courtesy adjustment on my first initial experience with Economy. Thank you,
Raymond M. Klimczuk

The staff was fantastic, very friendly and helpful! They had one of the guys drive us to the cruise terminal when we dropped our car off. He was fantastic, young college student wanting to get into the stock market.

We chose to get a car at this location as the prices were better than the EconomyBookings prices at the airport.

Always receive top-notch service at this location. Evelyn is always helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. All of the staff members I've had the pleasure of dealing with (I believe it was Nelson this past time) truly seem as though they enjoy their job and desire the customer to have a seamless experience.

The staff gave us a ride from the old town, lead us to the place for parking and kindly provided the information we need. Would definitely recommend this one.

Renting off the airport--there are many offices around town, especially for long term rentals, may save you a bunch in fees ($300+ month).
