I purchased a full coverage from Economy Bookings. I had a small incident with the car for which the car rental chaged me with additional fee. After return from holidays, I submitted full coverage refund request to Economy Bookings. They responded they will look into the case and contact the car rental, but after a number of follow ups and a few months they never returned and provided the refund. Scammers.

Con company
September 6, 2016

Pay for your coupon, if you manage to print it off ( you get a choice of 300 zillion formats) your voucher still won't be accepted by the car hire company therefore leaving you to pay the full amount at the desk. Good luck.

I had to cancel my booking due to a change in travel dates. I went online to cancel my reservation and saw that there would be a charge for the cancellation, even though when I booked it was a free cancellation. I called the company and was reassured that I would not be charged a cancellation fee. So i went ahead with my booking and now when double checking the email I received (after waiting for 2 weeks for the money to be sent back to be already) I saw that I was charged a 50GBP cancellation fee even though I was told multiple times that this would not happen. There is no email and I have been trying to reach someone in the call center for hours now. Would not recommend booking with this company at all.

Rip Off
May 12, 2023

How can Economy Bookings even remain in business by stealing? Most rental companies have no charges when cancelling a reservation in advance, in my case several weeks in advance. And Economy Bookings charged me $66.01 cancellation fee! I would understand if it was 48hr or 24hrs prior but several weeks prior? Will never rent from this place again! The price was cheap in the beginning but in the end cost me a lot more than renting a luxury vehicle!

SCAM COMPANY
April 11, 2018

I made a car reservation with Economy Bookings not knowing I needed a credit card. They told me about it after I had paid the reservation (isn`t that a scam?). They didn't warn me at all. I cancelled the booking right away because I don't have a credit card (just a debit card). I couldn't book the car, and still they want to charge me 45. Don`t use their services under any circumstance.

Every time I go to Europe, either for holidays or for business, I rent vehicles with EconomyBookings because they adapt to my needs and budget. All in one website, easy to use and the best technical and human support.

I was very pleased with the gas mileage and sound system, however I found the car noisy. The ride was rough and you could hear the road noise. I will use this facility again and Enterprise for all future car rental needs

My only disappointment was the birthday email for bonus points was not able to be added to my perk program in the local office. It was said that was strictly an online offer and needed to be used and applied as such.

Cool application
March 14, 2019

Very cool application, everything is available explained and shown, thanks to the developers. It is very interesting to develop such a business, it does not require large investments and long training, the most interesting content is compared to all other online users.

When I arrived to collect my rental car, a Chevrolet Impala, I was informed the model I had booked was in the Premium range not in the Full size. I ended up with a Nissan Altima instead. It was a really good car. However I swapped this for a Dodge Charger on my second week.as I wanted something a bit sportier.
I paid a small fee to do this.
The Dodge was slightly bigger and looked great. When I got it home I noticed it had quite a few areas of damage, the wipers needed changed, the onboard computer stated it required an oil service and the air conditioning wasn't as good as the Nissan.
I suspect it needed a recharge.
It had travelled 45 thousand miles which was a bit surprising as rental cars are normally newer with less miles.
I suggest the web site is amended to reflect the true classification of the Impala so other people are not misled.
The staff at the collection and drop point were very courteous and helpful, particularly the lady who did the exchange for my second week.

Hundreds of cars
October 9, 2019

A huge plus is that a lot of cars are available, I made a mistake once and turned to another company, and they only had two cars, you must agree, the choice is small. And here are hundreds of cars! It's fine

I needed to cancel my reservation for health reasons. It was non refundable, but they told me I could transfer my reservation to another trip. After four long frustrating conversations, the result was that they could not transfer the reservation to another pick up drop off location, so I ended up losing the money.
Do not use this company.

Excellent prices
June 12, 2023

I had a problem with a reservation with another company, which forced me to search another car/company. Normally, a last minute reservation is very expensive, but EconomyBookings offered several reasonable prices. This was a very pleasant surprise.

SCAM!
September 27, 2019

I used their portal to rent a car in Canada. I booked one and next day I received an email saying the car I want to rent is not available and the sales representative offered me the same car in another supplier with slightly higher price. I said okay. NOW BE CAREFUL! They are selling Insurance saying full coverage but Supplier companies does not even aware of it! This insurance is total SCAM, it is not covering anything with the car. The supplier company told me that They informed EconomyBooking many times that They dont accept their insurance. So I had make another insurance at the supplier's office, so I paid double. I sent an email to economybookings for a refund but until now I have no reply! I will never book a car with them and I dont advise anyone.

First it is a UK company and they do not have 24/24 customer service by phone. The prepaid price is in fact their commission and the software used for online booking has a bad way to stolen your money. At the front desk in FLL airport the price paid for the rental car was25% above the market price.
Never use this company again and I will suggest to everyone to stay away from EconomyBooking.

High quality service for booking a large number of cars in any country of the world. Many times through this service booked a car for personal trips.And always remained very happy with the quality of services provided.

Date of experience: October 31, 2018

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.
