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.
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 were misdirected to take airport shuttle and ended up 30 miles from our car rental agency. It wasn't fun to find out that we couldn't cancel since the entire amount was going to be charged--whether we actually rented the car or not, and no way to transfer the booking! Fortunately, the people at Enterprise were super helpful and we were able to get into town to get a car. No help from economybooking, but thank you Enterprise.
First alarm is how can they charge 30% less than anyone else. Second look at the response to a question about what exactly their Cancellation Protection charge covers:
"Dear Client, The cancellation policy means that if you will cancel till 48hours will be one charge, if latter then 48 the other charge."
Be afraid.
Note - I originally wrote the review below and realized later that the BAD company is economybookings.com, NOT economybooking.com. Be careful. The website names are different by an 's' only. Now I really feel scammed by a company piggy backing on the name of another. I am sure I am not the only one who made this mistake. Maybe this will help warn others of possible confusion. My apologies to economybooking.com.
Do not use this company. If you must, read all fine print and then read it again! Book with them at your own peril! Beware - the Total Price quoted is NOT the total price! There is no way to know what your ultimate cost will be. For sure it will be a surprise! And not a nice surprise!
