I made a booking on 29/12/2020 ref number (B*******). The price showing up at the time of booking was only $111 but not showing up total amt while making payment. The invoince came up with $355 for 2 days. This was completely mis leading and $101 immeduately deducted from my bank. I tried to amend the booking but it was not allowing me to do anything. Their customer support wasnt working and I couldnt get any support. I then emailed them to cancel the booking (immediately after booking). They cancelled and emailed back. I requested for a full refund but I got a reply from one mr Nick who introduced as Sales manager and said refund is based on their cancellation policy. I then spoke to one of their customer support (Julie if I got the name correctly) and I explained my situtation. She said there was some issues with their website and already emailed their technical support. She said many customers are affected because of that. I then emailed Nick about it and I didnt get any reply. I felt like this website os operating outside New Zealand and deducting customers by giving misleading information. They will then send a huge invoice and the customers will be panic to cancel it. They are then talking about 48 hrs close to deny full refund (even if you cancel within minutes after booking). Smart bbusiness strategy! Who I can approach
to get support for consumer grievances?

Shame on them!
November 15, 2018

I rented a car with them and also subscribed for a full coverage request. Unfortunately I had an accident and followed all the informations on the site to have the refund providing all the detais. I am still waiting fo a reply and the refund!
----
Follow up. After several mail they stated that payment would be made after 35 working days... The payment was supposed to be made today but I received a mail stating that "fue to some technical issues the reimbursements will be processed within 60 working days".

This is shameful!
I have no other words. I will pursue the matter with a lawyer and try to make the worst possible pubblicity on all social media!

---
Follow up.
In a last mail 10 days ago they announced the financial department would make the payment had "been processed on 5. 11. 2018". And also said that I would "receive the refund to your card as soon as operation between banks is completed. It can take from 3 to 28 business days, but usually up to 5 days."

Obviously 5 days have passed but nothing on the card.
My accident happened at the start of august! OF AUGUST! WE ARE IN NOVEMBER!

--- Follow up on november 30th
Since the start of november I have sent 6 mails asking for news.
NO ANSWER WHATSOVER! SHAMEFUL!

The only downside of my experience was the free bus transfer to and from the terminal which was a painfully long wait on both occasions.

Overview

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.
