Economy Rent a Car Reviews 

Yorlli & Andres were both so helpful with my car! They made my experience so easy & enjoyable.

Very professional, helped us to receive our vehicle very quickly

My husband and I used Car rental searches online to compare different prices and reviews for a trip to Miami. We chose to save money- what seemed like $300 for a 6 night trip compared with better known companies. The company was nothing less than horrible - and despite me having brought copies of our very good and normal auto insurance, plus calling my agent to talk with them and explain where we are covered- reps at the counter stated it still isn’t enough and we would have to buy their insurance and would add another $150 to the rental cost. Part 2 of their scam is to force you to either pay $90 for a toll transformer or $25 for each toll you go through plus the cost of the toll (we went through Florida turnpike toll 4 times I think- but who knows that when you rent?) Part 3 of scam is they require deposit of $1000 down ( not a problem for us but still usually $100-$200). Part 4: location a pain to get to from airport via shuttle quite a ways/and return there was apparently a pain according to another patron who was returning his car and told us his experience with the company and return was “horrible”. Finally, we saw the light and cancelled. We took an Uber to our hotel and got a decent rate from Enterprise with no hassle no worry and none of the bs the next day. Beware the Company contact number leads to Costa Rica. Hope to warn a few people to stay away from this scam.

The wait time was nearly 3 hrs. I waited with my dogs outside, and once they saw my dogs they slapped a $300 dog deposit on my bill. I looked and no such deposit is mentioned in their rental contract. At no time we’re they apologetic about the delay. It was the cheapest car rental I could find so as the saying goes “you get what you pay for!”

Thieves, they stole my deposit (actually they just charge as an operation) so when I realized this, it's all gone.
Would never do such a mistake and rent a car here.
Location was at Burgas, Bulgaria.

Beware!! Tons of hidden fees even when you book through Expedia
Not like the respectable car rental companies inside terminal where you dont get additional fees for using your own insurance.
Plus you charge for a Sun pass where as with real companies they just send you the bill of your tolls
It is ridiculous and abusive and sooooo misleading
I could hve rented with Avis or budget for a lesser price with zero hassle and zero hidden fees.
Plus wait for it… car got a check engine light they brought me other car but charged me 85$… Shouldn’t it have been opposite?? Like refund me that day that that I had car trouble on my vacation?? hello??
A completely ridiculous company abusing their customers and frankly I can’t believe companies like Expedia are partnering with them as they told me they were getting tons of complaints
Stay away from Economy car rental… they should really be called ExtraFee car rental which would not be misleading to their customers
Oh and they clearly have tons of fake reviews 🤦🏼‍♀️

Very friendly and helpful service from Andres and Yorlli. Reasonable prices, no upsell pressure. Highly recommended.

Rental agreement: 20008048
Case no. ECC43346

Had a rental from Ivalo, Finland w/ Europcar and you as a "partner" company. Period from 21 dec. 2023 10 days.

1)It is one star too many! DO NOT rent from here!
Since 31 of dec. 2023 I have been writing both Europcar and Economy car rental with the issue that I paid too much according to the original voucher which was Issued to me before arrival. All in all I paid more +400 euro too much!
2) Very LONG process to answer from both parties. First reply from Economy Car rental was 10 days after rental period. Latest reply 6th. of feb. from you - I wrote you on Jan. 22!?!
3) Europcar same long process to answer, very concerned about this. And their latest reply "However we don't know the amount as this insurance is between you and this 3rd party insurer"....

4) You can not even choose location in this report, where I actually rented from.

My name is Sarah, and I rented a vehicle from Economy Rent a Car on 22-25 JAN2024 thru Hotwire. Economy Rent a Car aka NOLA rentacar.com. When I received the vehicle, I examined the outside of the and noted some scratches and took pictures of the damage. Then I entered the vehicle to find the driver side door panel on the floor of the vehicle detached. I went back to the office to report the damage and was informed that they were aware of the problem, and I should not have any problems from the issue. Departing the facility at approx 5:30pm and approx 1/2 mile down the road the "Warning Malfunction" "See Owner's Manual" indicator came on. I pulled into the nearest gas station and called Economy and they tried contacting the NOLA office, which was closed. The Economy rep said he was not familiar with the situation and was unable to tell me if it was safe the drive the vehicle. He suggested that I return the vehicle. I informed him that I lived approximately 2hrs drive from New Orleans and was not spending the night in NO to go back to the office. I asked if there was another Economy rental place I may go to for an exchange, he said no I had to take the vehicle back to NOLA.
I have attached several photos of the vehicle damages that questions my safety and definitely affords me a full refund of $135.62 paid. The photos include detached floor panel, detaching driver's door handle, detached rear window panel, detached door rubber on both read doors, and Warning Malfunction for as stated before.

Fraud Alert!
They canceled our reservation without our consent and demanded twice the rate in order to reinstate it.
Their manager assured us a full refund while being video recorded. Economy Rent A Car never refunded the money!

Zero Stars if I could. Lied to at the counter when they told me I would get a refund but they didn't have a car for me and stole my money. Complete runaround with this company. Flight showed up late and I prepaid for a car. They didn't have a vehicle for me when I got there 12 hours late and said I'd get a refund I had to go to Expedia though. I think they just wanted me out of the counter? Dealt with Expedia and my credit card and they both stated economy charge my card not them. So they lied. Now they refuse to refund. Even though I saw available cars in the lot. Stay very far away from economy rent a car! This company are run by thieves.

to save a few bucks I picked this company, it turns out with them you flip a coin; if all goes well you are ok but in case of problems you loose your money and customer care is totally useless, or they act like they're useless.
I made my booking at Mauritius in August, when I arrived the company said they had no cars left cause Economyrentacar was fowarding too many reservations. So I count not rent my car. When I asked for deposit to be returned customer car took 4 months to let me know that it was my fault and I had refused their car, which is obviously a lie.
Make yourself a favour, stay away from them!!

No way out of paying extra for liability insurance.

All other rental car companies allow you to waive the insurance upsells, but Economy did not. I don't have liability insurance, so I had to pay double what I was expecting for the car rental.

I got the information i requested promptly

My experience with Economy Rent a Car, particularly with manager Frank Gutierrez, was exceptionally negative. Faced with an unforeseen flight cancellation, I was unable to use my reservation. Despite the situation being completely out of my control, Frank Gutierrez and his team showed no willingness to accommodate or understand, adhering blindly to a no-refund policy. Their communication was as unfriendly as it was inflexible, exemplifying a complete disregard for customer service. I strongly advise against using Economy Rent a Car; their service is not only rigid but also lacks the basic courtesy you’d expect in the hospitality industry.

We rented a car and paid in full 2 weeks prior to the car pick up. We did an early check in a day before the pick up. Due to a one hour flight and Economy’s poor instructions for a shuttle bus, we were late to pick up by 2 hours. Economy changed us additional $130 for the 2 hours in additional to our paid in full amount of $242 for a week of a car rental. When we refused to pay additional amount Economy refused to rent a car or refund us.
Save yourself a heartache and never rent a car with Economy at Honolulu.

I recently had the pleasure of using Economy Car Rental in San Jose, Costa Rica and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. From the moment I arrived at their office, the staff was friendly and welcoming.

The car I rented was in excellent condition, clean and well-maintained. It had all the necessary features and amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable drive throughout my trip. The rental process was quick and efficient, with no hidden fees or surprises.

One aspect that really stood out to me was the customer service. Mariano Ramírez went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. He was readily available to answer any questions or concerns I had during my rental period as well as helping get my deposit returned promptly.

Another great aspect of Economy Car Rental was their competitive pricing. I compared rates with other rental companies in the area and found that Economy Car Rental offered the best value for money. The affordable rates, coupled with the quality of their vehicles and exceptional customer service, made it an easy choice for me.

Overall, I highly recommend Economy Car Rental in San Jose, Costa Rica. Whether you're a local looking for a reliable rental or a tourist exploring the beautiful country, they will exceed your expectations. Their commitment to customer satisfaction, fair pricing, and well-maintained vehicles make them the go-to choice for car rentals in the area. I will definitely be using their services again on my next visit.

I was served by Mariano Ramirez. I was not confident enough to speak spanish, and he was fully able to take care of me in english.

Everything was explained perfectly.

First time :)
Excellent service.
Thank you Alejandro!
