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.

We rent cars often to get away from the city for weekend trips and this place by far has the nicest fleet. Small location and located within a parking garage

Price is best
September 27, 2020

I have rented at this location 4 or 5 times, Great cars, but even better is the staff. They get you in and out quick and easy. I find them competitive in pricing most of the time. But if they are a little higher I'll go with them anyway because of their customer service at this location.

Best car rental
September 27, 2020

I rented for the first time from their new Location and his weekend. We were late and the manager Jo Elise Martinez returned back to the office for us, helped us with a great smile in her face and built a great rapport with us.

Clear and concise
September 24, 2020

Easy. One, two, three. I got what I paid for and an impeccable experience with the folks who clean the place, as well as the agents in the office. Let's talk about the guy who cleans the cars he is indispensable. Also the guy who drove my husband and I from and to the airport was definitely cool.

Just a wonderful experience with the people and establishment. Thank you!

Refund scam stay away
September 18, 2020

In April 2020 I cancelled my trip; flight and car rental with EconomyBookings.com because of COVID19.

When I cancelled my car rental with EconomyBookings I opted to get my money back instead of a voucher. The note on my cancellation said it could take 4-5 months to see the credit on my credit card. I went to check on the refund now that it's been 6 months. No refund?! Funny thing when I went back Online there was no mention about my refund despite the fact I paid EXTRA for free cancellation and I only got an option to get a voucher. Hmmmm... very suspicious.
I do not want a voucher and am demanding the cancelled car rental be paid back in full. The email response to my voucher said "Your booking ##### will be cancelled and your compensation voucher will be sent to your email *******@gmail.com within 24 hours.

If you have not received the email, please contact us;

US *******795"

This is a joke. Now that it's been 10 days and no email with my voucher I don't want. I tried calling the number provided. It is not a surprise to me but the customer service number IS NOT WORKING.

I paid:
8 Day car rental $459.22
Extra CANCEL PROTECTION $22.03

TOTAL $481.22

NO REFUND.

This is a company doing business out of Latvia. It is an unethical company and a scam.

Consumer BEWARE!
September 17, 2020

I booked a car for mid April, with an no penalty refund guarantee if cancellation occurred more than 24 hours before pick up time. I had to cancel due to COVID three weeks before the pick up. Six months later, after many excuses they still have NOT issued a refund. They won't talk about it and only allow online access to "customer service"... and that results in more useless excuse making emails!

RUN, RUN... DO NOT do business with these guys!

Refund please!
September 17, 2020

I booked a vehicle in February 2020 for use in Sept 2020. I paid in full upfront. Then cancelled in June because of COVID. Economy Bookings then emailed me saying they will only issue a voucher refund. I'm a senior, and I doubt I will ever be able to use it within the two years it is good for. All I want is my money back.

Great place to rent a car
September 17, 2020

Have had good experiences, says no after hour returns but they leave a key drop and have been good at letting me return a corporate rental after hours rather than having to come back at 7 am. Only complaint is it is a tight lot to get in and out of and often parking fills up.

I was recently a customer at EconomyBookings in Holland MI. The car I reserved was clean and ready to go. It was nice having a reliable vehicle as opposed to my own which I don't trust to take me too far
