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.

Everything was a scam
September 17, 2020

After contracting a full insurance with economybookings, the company renting the car refuses to accept it and conditions me to take their own insurance in order to rent me the car. After a discussion with them, the hole thing is cancelled, as their insurance was three time more expensice than the one I had already contracted in the Economybookings site.
I am still waiting for a reply from Economybookings when I told them about the issue already three weeks ago and of course, no reply neither refund of my internet mayment.

Wonderful quick service and easily understandable terms. Their website made it clear that there were additional charges for drivers my age up front and there were no hidden fees or mileage restrictions

I've rented cars from EconomyBookings for some years now. I keep coming back for the service and the availability of renting the vehicle I requested. This past rental was the first renting since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Recently rented a car and it had been smoked in previously. I called to express my concerns and they let me upgrade at no charge and let me keep the upgraded ride for a few days extra at no charge. Very easy people to work with.

I have booked rental car on EconomyBooking.com and taken a car Insurance at the time of booking. Once I was reached(with family) to car rental location ACO car rental, Miami at 8 pm they asked me to cancel booking with EconomyBooking.com and they will do fresh booking for me by paying double money, even I have invoice from EconomyBooking. They force me to take Insurance with them and also sun pass by paying $200 extra. They have mentioned EconomyBooking is a fraud company and you have booked using EconomyBooking so we will not provide car to you. Till 10 pm I augured with them by showing invoice from EconomyBooking and my bank statement that i have already paid money for car and insurance but in last I have paid again for car and sunpass to ACO car rental which is a joint company of Rent a Car for Less.
I read a review about ACO car rental company but due to cheap deal I booked a car with them and end up with paying more them double money. I am posting review to save other people so they should not book car with ACO car rental as I did even I also checked review and made mistake. I have recorded whole conversation with ACO representative.

I have called EconomyBooking and emailed but no one reply.

Service like this makes me hope for another accident, I go for a drive around the block every time I see UPS & FedEx just to see your excellent employees! Who new a smile could fix a spine that got turned into Chutes and Ladders by a delivery driver impersonating Stevie Wonder at the wheel!

They were fantastic
September 10, 2020

My only critique is that when you call EconomyBookings and you are talking with someone from a switchboard instead of a direct store, some of the people were not friendly at all. Overall my experience was great. I will be doing this again in the fall.
