“Crypto recovery”

Barbara C.
12/6/23

Friendly advice: Do not embrace every investment opportunity you come across online because of scam. I've been a victim but now a testimony and that's only because I came across a recovery specialist who interceded and helped in recovering about 18,000 worth of bitcoin from a fake online investment company. The amazing part is how he explains in depth breakdown of relevant information to help you follow through the recovery process. A little percentage of what was fully recovered was taken out as service charge, but nothing compared to how grateful I am for the success. Here's his email: [*******@computer4u dot com] if you ever find this useful.

“Fine print doesn't say that debit/visa can't be on a Chime account.”

Susan W.
6/26/22

If I could give negative stars I would. I checked all over Thrifty's website and all of Economybooking.com. I ensured that I had the needed money available on my visa (200 over the rental costs) and 500 over the costs just in case I had to use my debit. Economy's site says that they will only refund 48 hrs in advance. I prepared 300+ dollars for my rental off of my Chime card. This transaction went of very smoothly. Economy collected their prepayment. I assumed that things would be fine because the charge went through. 2 wks later I am at the Thrifty rental counter in PDX and turned away because my card was issued from Chime. Because I didn't cancel with 48 hrs notice, I was unable to get a refund. I was left standing at the counter and 300+ dollar poorer. There was no way for me to appeal. I will not use either company again because there was no warning that cards by Chime would be problematic and no way for me to have my funds returned. You would think that if my Chime card could be used to collect the prepayment online that I would be able to use it in-store. You would be wrong.

We booked a rental car and bought -paid for rental and additional Super CDW insurance for our travel in France. When we arrived we found out that we don't have an insurance. The Europcar representative told us that we have an Excess which is not an insurance. Don't buy insurance from Economy bookings, it's a waisting the money!

Just returned from our vacation and want to thank you all for perfect car. We enjoyed driving our minivan that had much room for everything we brought. Special thanks for help we got when we booked a car on the site.

We recently traveled across the USA to visit my sister. We did not want to spend a lot on a vehicle so we opted to rent one. We used economybooking.com. The rates were pretty reasonable. I would like to rent from them again. The service was good and I did not have any issues booking online. I would recommend this service to anyone that needs to rent a car. They also rent overseas in places such as Europe.

Our compact car was upgraded for free. It was a good bonus for us as usually with your car rentals you don't get exactly what you reserve. This time it was great, car was in excellent condition, the only problem was to find the Avis counter, it took some time...

I've always booked cars from my favorite supplier Sixt through this site. Prices are low,
Cars are excellent (Sixt services are nearly perfect in every destination), and booking is just easy. Though everything is included in the rental (theft protection, CDW, etc) I
Prefer to buy an additional full protection for longer rentals. Last time I ordered it and
Got my deposit back. The mirrow was broken, and it was my own fault. So I was just happy not to pay for the mirrow its full price (imagine that it could cost 200-300 usd)!

It was easy to book online, and had clear email communications with their staff. The car was also good enough, so we didn't have any issues.

Just returned from our vacation around Spain. Booked a car in Faro, Portugal, traveled all over Andalucia and returned a car again in Faro. Easy to drive, excellent car, thank you! We enjoyed a lot. Next time we'll take a direct flight to Spain.

The only problem was that car was not very clean, with some dirt on the floor mats. Yes the price was cheaper than in most other agencies, but if the car was clean, I´d give 5 stars, now I can give only 4. Anyway, I hope that this is not a rule to give cars in such conditions to customers... My rental was in Lyon, France, dates 17-24 of August…
