The best
December 1, 2018

One of the best companies has a wide range of vehicles, the quality and price are optimal, the staff is polite and at a high level, they answered all questions and recommended the right option, I recommend.

Booking was unclear. Price indicated as CAD but I was charged in euros.
I booked under free cancellation, but when I went to my online account to cancel, there was a cancellation fee. Followup emails to clarify cancellation policy were not helpful.
When I forwarded a copy of my original confirmation clearly stating free cancellation, they did not apologize nor offer to correct my online account. To date I have not had to cancel, but I'm not certain that they would honour the original agreement.

I value straightforward business practices, so I will steer clear from this company in the future due to underwhelming customer service, dodgy practices and lack of transparency.

I picked up the car at the Rome airport. Everything went smoothly and I was given a brand new VW Passat, an upgrade from my reservation. The return of the car was smooth and easy, as well, and the costs matched the original quote.

Good service
February 12, 2021

We easily found the rental place in the Airport. No people were there at that time so we got the keys and other documents in 5 minutes. No extra charges or any other surprises, what we booked we got.
No delays or any other trouble upon returning the car.
Very SATISFIED and thank you

I really have to say... this is the best rental car places I have been to in a long time. The young ladies are highly professional, and on top they are super friendly. I have EconomyBookings car share, and I am happy with it.

Booking the car was easy
February 4, 2015

Booking the car was easy. Collection staff very helpful. Locating the car in the car park was even better.The Opel Astra was immaculate, comfortable and suited all our needs for a week-end in Essen. I would certainly use this company again.

I got an email with a document, saying, you are "all covered" for your latest vehicle insurance.
In hindsight, there is no contact details on any of the documents or emails I have had from this company. Come time to make a claim on the insurance due to a cracked windscreeen, - Can I get hold of these people... NO!
The only email I have, there has been no response I had to pay the $1200 to the rental car company for the wind screen, being told to apply for a refund through the insurer. Hello Economy Bookings, where are you? Zilch, nothing, not a brass razoo. Do not use this company, they are bad news. The 'vouchers' attached, have no contact details at all, not worth the paper they are written on.!

October 13, 2019

Excellent service. The advantages include: a large range of cars, a lot of promotions and discounts, low prices, a lot of convenient features, such as a child seat in the car. I advise everyone, it is not the first time I use this service.

I was extremely disappointed since the airport shuttle service was not able to find your location. This booking is confusing. I won't use this website anymore. The company name is different. This is third party company with a similar name at another big company with the purpose to steal money to new visitors. This company stole my money and they don't have a customer service person to talk to when it is needed.

Skoda Octavia
March 25, 2020

We booked a smaller car but was given an upgrade. We were given a Skoda Octavia, it was ready immediately. We drove all the way to Scotland and only used half a tank! We initially hired it for a week, but we loved the service it gave us, that we extended for another 2!

I got a great price on the rental because I had to drop off in Madrid. The vehicle was very clean. The ride was very good I had no problems. Dropping of the vehicle was so easy and timely and they even dropped me back home. Thanks to all I've encountered on this trip

Don't use this service! I've booked a prepaid for 18 days! And have bought a full coverage insurance. On pick up point in Malta I couldn't get the car because I had to pay plus 450 € for insurance, because I didn't have a credit card. I wanted to cancel to refund rather half of payment, but they don't return any! I've lose my money and get only message "When you complete the reservation, you have read, understood, and agreed to the Cancellation and Non-refundable Policy disclosed during the process of booking, therefore, you accepted and agreed to the transaction, made the reservation and received confirmation." But for example bookingeconomy could return half because I didn't use my order at all. They even didn't offer me discount of next booking! I totally fractured and angry about this service. I don't recommend to use it. Better to rent a car directly

Hello Nailia,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience. As for your request, unfortunately, in this case the amount is not refundable, because you did not have a credit card with you, and under the car rental supplier’s terms it is mandatory for picking up the car.
When you made the booking you have agreed to the rental terms. On each booking step we show the information about required documents at the counter. The Non-Refundable Policy is disclosed on the checkout page, before the made a transaction.

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a refund on this occasion.
We regret that we cannot offer you a solution you were hoping for.

Kind Regards,
Support Team

Awful experience
December 13, 2023

They didn't take my car insurance by saying that liability should be 300k. However, I used many car rentals and they never had this kind of condition. This company is rip-off. I wanted to buy full protection from the link which i received thru emai sent by the company but it didn't work. It was $12.50 per day. I end up paying $35.0 per day at the time of check-in. This is rip-off. I want my money back. They also gave me a different car which has a milage of *******. This is insane. I will never use this car rental ever and not recommend it to anyone. They charge me $35.0 per day for car insurance.

Just thought I would drop you a line to thank you for the car we had on hire last week. Your man was waiting for us at the airport and the handover was very quick and clear. The car was excellent and the drop off on our return was easy.
Thank you once again

Whenever I'm heading home to Metz, I always rent a car from EconomyBookings. They have a nice selection to chose from. The ladies at the help desk seemed to have been there as long as I have been traveling back home for these last 10 years.

I rented a car four times with Economybookings.com car hire. The car was clean enough, the cover on the trunk was in bits, but I must say – this is why I never buy hatchbacks. On each occasion the cars were reliable and value for money was very good. I would like to especially note the insurance cover included. So, I recommend this company now and will recommend it in the future. The staff was very kind and competent and the whole procedure was very efficient.

Thrifty Car rental and Economy Booking both have very poor service and are untrustworthy. I booked with Thrifty in April 2023 for $881.00 Canadian but later found a cheaper booking for Thrifty with Economy Booking for $625.99. I cancelled my initial booking via email and pre-paid with Economy booking. After using the car The Thrifty Agent withdrew the $881.00 from the deposit. I explained that I had pre-paid but he refused to correct the problem or provide his name. Both Thrifty Car Rental and Economy Booking have failed to refund either of the bookings even though I have written and explained the situation to their agents exhaustively.

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.
