Complaints about EconomyBookings
The company’s website has many positive reviews of its work. But in app stores and on third-party sites you can find many complaints about the service. Although some of them are related to the fact that customers do not carefully study the terms and conditions before booking a car rental. Such complaints about situations where inattentiveness of drivers is to blame can include stories:
- About non-return of money in case of booking cancellation. There is information about penalties in such cases on the website.
- About refusing to use a debit card, not a credit card. There is information on the website that the card must be a credit card.
- About the long term return of the deposit. In this case nothing depends on EconomyBookings.
- About having to pay extra for damage that was already on the car. Sometimes rental company managers tell you not to mark minor scratches when you get the car. They may tell you that you have to pay for that damage when you get the car back. Every driver should know that when he rents a car, he should carefully examine even minor scratches and take pictures if necessary.
- About having to pay for a full tank. Every organization has its own fuel policy. So you have to study it and pour in as much fuel as you need according to this document. The same applies to dirt and garbage. You have to hand over the car only in a clean condition.
In the Play Market store, there are complaints about the fact that in the app you can’t see past reservations without entering a search date. There is no way to select the type of engine in the app, which leaves customers dissatisfied. There are also complaints about the fact that some services were paid for, but in the end other services were received.
