“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.

Booked here because of good price. I like a variety of cars to choose from and will consider this service later as well.

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...

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…

The car was a little older than I expected but the price was cheap and I paid the price advertised, no hidden costs, it´s important.

My overall experience with economybooking.com was very good but gps provided was out of
Date, with old maps... i am not sure i will order extras next time... my advice, if you need navigation, take yours, it's easy to buy maps online - now i will use igo on my mobile..

A fleet was limited but their prices are good enough to try. Have more cars and you will be just perfect!

If they could show rental companies before sending vouchers, I'd give them 5 of 5. So far it's 4, also good!

In general all is good, -1 point for voucher being delayed. But I was contacted and told that the car supplier would be providing confirmation within 6 hours. The vehicle was in good conditions, also we booked a hotel in the same destination. Probably we'll try them again soon.

I have booked hotels in Finland and Sweden for a few times. Nice selection and prices. All sites are very similar now but I cannot say nothing against so far. Maybe they should improve design)

They say they have best car prices online. I see that some prices are the same as many other services offer, however we liked the car they provided - almost new one. Will book with them again if the prices will be real good.

We just went to europcar and they gave us the car for the price they promised. I can recommend this website. I gave 4 because they gave us a similar car though we wanted another model. But in general all was ok.

I had a quick search in the internet about rental car companies and study their services as well as their rent cars. Seems they have a good service among other websites. So I used to rent car from this website and I received a good packages from them and the car was so cool and their service was awesome.
