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.

When I went there people at the desk were professional and they were also quick, I got a nice vehicle and I really enjoy the ride
Ease to book, timely follow up to confirm, pricing as advertised, clean well maintained vehicle. Will definitely repeat.
Car was nice…so friendly and quick and easy…I'm done on 10 minutes my deposit received on few days without any problems…Thanks
Everything worked like clockwork. I will definitely tell others and use Economybookings again. Great job, very pleased.
Very prompt, knowledgeable, efficient, and courteous service. Thank you!
This was a pleasurable experience. It was wonderful to be able to reserve an automobile using a debit card without the problems of high deposits and credit checks. I have told family about my experience and they will also start renting from Alamo and use Economybookings
Economybookings is a great option for last minute rentals as some major rental car companies funnel their deals thru the website and not their own website.
Great family run business would highly recommend … exceptional service, very friendly & very very well priced. Thank you for making car rental affordable and straightforward by showing the total cost.
Just a quick note to say a very big THANK YOU to yourself and the driver for the very efficient service yesterday. Thank you very much for the good service and the friendly reception on our arrival.
Economy bookings are simply a reseller of car rental services who through their T&Cs have washed their hands clean if any discrepancies are there between what they've sold you and what you get from the actual car hire company. I hired a car in California which turned out I had to pay $140 on top as this wasn't included in the EconomyBookings sold price to me. After handling my complaint for 3 months they finally pointed to their messy T&Cs and said: deal with the car rental company! Terrible customer service based in Ukraine which only operates in EU business hours while selling services worldwide.
I have used Economybookings service several years now and in different countries and they have never let me down. Good cars best prices and the fact that you do not have to add any extra insurences is perfect for me.
Thank you so much for going out of your way to help me. The Jeep will be less expensive and more fun.
You are my hero! I did call and they are actually crediting me about $22 for one day's rental. THANK YOU for suggesting that I call! I'm sure it saved me considerable hassle at the counter tomorrow. You get the gold star from me today.
You're my new best friend. Thank you for the tip and also for saving me over $175 on the Jeep Wrangler! I honestly don't travel much so I don't know all of the tips and tricks.
Can't thank you enough.
So pleased that operations were all running smoothly, even though I rented on a holiday. Extremely impressed by the attentiveness and courtesy of the staff.
They rented me a car in Valencia with drop-off in Barcelona, but when I got to the rental car they told me I must pay double because of different drop-off.
And then they told me that in their system (the rental company was GoldCard) I appear with some financial risk, yet they couldn't tell me what that is (perhaps a lower credit card limit or an unpaid traffic fine).
They charged me the entire amount, although they haven; t gave me any car.
Right now, after about 45 days, EconomyBookings responded to my complaint and told me that it is in their Terms & Conditions that they cannot refund me anything.
So I paid the full amount of the rental fee, although they refused to give me any car and that amount won't be refunded.
EconomyBookings are definitely the biggest scammers I have met to date.
I booked a car at Economybookings with a pick up and drop off on different locations. A total price was shown which was decent.
Afterwards the car rental company (Firefly) charged my credit card with a way larger amount than the price at EconomyBookings. They charged me extra because of the different pick up and drop off location. Economybookings says that is correct and is in the Terms and Conditions.
Economybookings already knew in advance that pick up and drop off were different, but they did not show that in their total price.
Conclusion: do not believe the total price they offer. Eventually the costs can be much higher.
I reached Fox rental counter at Denver Airport on 14th May and they don't have any midsize suv. All jeep cherokee was recalled by company. So, I didn't take the car from Fox. Took a car from another rental company. Then I send 15 emails to *******@bookinggroup.com asking for refund. After 2 weeks I get first reply that they are investigating. Another 2 weeks past. I am still sending email with the hope to get an answer and refund. Never experienced this kind of customer service. I am fully feed up. NEVER EVER BOOK A CAR FROM THEM. Refunds are so difficult to get. I still chasing the dream of getting back the refund. I feel that I am being cheated.
Sold me with the wrong information, very hard to get a response and would recommend to book directly with the main company you want to go with! Worst I've came across yet! Finally told me all the information I needed before booking on an email which said it wasnt refundable 3 weeks after I complained! AVOID!
They managed to change my credit card for a different car, in a different country provided to some else. I also pointed out to them the faults on their website and offered to discuss this problem with them over the phone. Their reply was... the booking left incomplete and we do not know anything about this try... The sort of reply I would expect from a 3 year old! And they still have my money. BEWARE!
