Even though I had personal insurance that would cover the car if anything happened, they required me to purchase their insurance to rent the car. That DOUBLED the price of the rental.Reviewed 8 Jul 2025

Horrible service. Waited 90 minutes to get car. Outside in sun, no bathrooms. Car was a 15 year old Jetta with soiled seats, headliner falling out. Upon return they asked me to vacuum sand from the beach out of back seat. waited outside in sun with no bathrooms for another hour just to return vehicle.Reviewed 2 Jul 2025

1. It takes TWO shuttles to get to the rental location. So you wait twice. 2. The shuttle drops you off in the street and you need to walk to the rental office. 3. There's no ramp, so you need to drag your suitcases up the stairs. 4. The questions asked are like no other rental agreement I’ve ever got. Ever. They didn’t accept my declining of their insurance until I showed my insurance card, and told them my deductible and my insurance type. I had to call my agent for that. 5. They messed up the order and had to re do it. Given the number of initials and signatures they require it’s a lengthy process. 6. While they had staff walking around, only one person was caring for the renters. It’s a long wait. 7. When returning the car, you wait for the shuttle in the street. Never again.Reviewed 1 Jul 2025

The rental desk is a 5-minute cab ride from the airport. They cover the cab cost to and from the airport, but it's still a nuisance. I'd have selected a different option if I had noticed it wasn't at the airport. The vehicle was fine, but the suspension was a bit rough, and the brakes were crunchy. It wasn't unsafe, but it was unpleasant.Reviewed 13 May 2025

We were pleased with the price and the vehicle was clean. Drop off was a breeze. But we did not realize that the car would have to be picked up far away from the airport. We waited more than half an hour for the shuttle because the number we called to request pick up had an automated service that failed to inform a live person that we were waiting. We had to call a second time to talk to someone. Also, the car had a lot of cosmetic damage to the outside and was not the kind of car we had reserved (Camry).Reviewed 9 May 2025

The car, itself, was the best part. Pickup and drop off was a bit of an annoyance. When I search for rental cars via search engine such as Kayak, I expect it give me options that match my pickup/drop off locations. Economy Rent a Car is not at the Rental Car Facility; you need to get a Lyft/Uber to Economy. And, Economy’s drop off directions for where the key goes was poorly written and confusing.Reviewed 24 Apr 2025

Easy to deal with, did wait a bit longer to get the vehicle after I had finished the processing of the paperwork but they were great otherwise.Reviewed 22 Apr 2025

Customer service was terrible. They gave our car away and didn't have another car for us. Completely stranding us. Zero empathy or trying to help us. Will never book with Economy again and will tell my friends to never book with them.Reviewed 21 Apr 2025
