I had to pay so much extra because apparently the insurance I had didn’t cover Expedia/economy car rental despite said insurance covering every other car rental agency. So either I was lied to or it’s just economy and I’m never going to rent from them/expedia again. I was also given a number to call travel guard which is not able to cover after the rental purchase was made. The car was also full of dog hair. In total this rental cost me 200$ instead of the 40 +30 I paid for the rental and insurance initially. Huge rip off. Took forever and is so inconvenient to get to without a car! Insane. Never again.Reviewed 27 Apr 2024

Took a long time to get the car. First of all, there shuttle only comes to remote rental car center near LAX. You need to take a bus to get there. Then you take there shuttle to get to their office. It took me almost an hour to get the get and be on my way. There were two agents working the desk and they were really helpful but, the whole process was slow. I had to wait a long time.Reviewed 26 Apr 2024

They should provide what we booked. I booked a large suv and they only had a small sedan available when I reached.Reviewed 24 Apr 2024

I had to pay an extra $40+ for insurance despite informing them saying that the insurance is covered through my Amex Cobalt. I had no other alternative as I was in a rush.Reviewed 23 Apr 2024

After my experience with this company I understand why they have a low score, initially I let myself be carried away because they offered me a very low price, but when I pick up the car the cost was going to be higher than the other companies with better score, so I decided to go and rent with another company, I do not recommend ECONOMY RENT A CAR for anything, very bad service and unethicalReviewed 23 Apr 2024

Total rip off like priceline who mentioned Unlimited kms on the invoice and then refused to refund me. They started showing me terms and policies when the Invoice clearly shows Unlimited kms. Spolied my trip. Lost my money and had to book another place. Waste of time. Terrible experience.Reviewed 22 Apr 2024

I didn't know that Economy was located outside of the normal rental car center at San Diego Airport. The information was not evident in the confirmation email from Kayak. We took a shuttle from the airport to the rental car center only to find out we needed to go to another location to get our car. We had to take an Uber there afterwards. We were traveling with two small children so this process was stressful.Reviewed 22 Apr 2024

When I booked online they said unlimited kilometre but after they charged for kilometre. I think so that’s not fair.Reviewed 22 Apr 2024

It should be noted that this facility is not at the main pick up for car rentals. With 2 children and heavy car seats the 2 stops to get there were hard plus we had to pay to return car the location closed way before our flight back home. PReviewed 21 Apr 2024
