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.

Amazing customer service
September 9, 2020

They've always done me right. No red tape about having a major credit card. Cash and debit cards are just fine by them. I was in a bind when a franchise car rental center changed their policy and decided prepaid cards weren't good enough.

Terrible company, cancelled 2 hire cars at the beginning of lockdown. I called and was promised a refund in 90 working days at the end of March2020. I accepted this rather than take a voucher. Way over 90 days now and still waiting. They closed the phone lines down for refunds and reply to emails with copy and paste text saying they've changes their policy to do with 'acts of god, pandemics etc' and also say they do not refuse refunds, presumably to get out of a insurance payouts too. (Do not get confused with EconomyCover with similar colour scheme on their logo/website). Will try and complain to ombudsman.

Took a jeep Cherokee for 2 weeks and because of them I ended up buying the car. Well maintained cars, affordable prices and very helpful staff.

As of that wasn't enough, he was so king as to look for glasses I left in the vehicle. I'm suggesting there be something extra in his paycheck... every week.

Always very accommodating

We had an issue with the first van we rented because the back windows kept opening by themself so he swapped it out easily before we left for our trip. Return process is easy. We will always use them.

Good site to book a car.
September 1, 2020

When I first read the reviews I was amused. My experience was good. Nothing bad to say. There are couple of sites like this that I am aware of and this is as good as the others. I used this because it gave me the best deal. The biggest bonus that I see when comparing with economycarrentals.com is that you can choose the provider/rental company, the minus is that you have to pay the total price, but eventually you need any way. I have rented car hundreds times and would go any time through site like that because over that time I have never got better deal through the rental company and I have not had any issues with that.
