Not surprising, I know, but it was worse than I’ve had in the last 10 years. I feel like rental companies used to find ways tack on fees but not so much in recent years. At Economy in LA, it’s hard yo get there. Not completely Economy’s fault, but you have to find a bus (which is totally confusing cause the bus that goes to rental cars isn’t it), to a lot to get a shuttle. When you get there, they have no bathroom, they don’t accept the insurance you paid for with your booking, and their deposit is $500 which takes weeks to get back after. Staff were nice though. Cars as clean and ready.Reviewed Apr 10 2025

They are a rip off. They don’t tell you that they don’t accept Canadian insurance nor credit card insurance. They tried to charge me over $50 per day for their insurance, which more than doubled the cost. Luckily I found a nearby competitor to treat me like an important customer and solve my problems rather than create them upon arriving in LA for a family vacation. I will never use Economy Car Rental again and I will be sure to spread the message.Reviewed Mar 26 2025

There was no way to release the reservation so someone else could rent the vehicle after I canceled my trip due to the fires at my destination. I did not expect a refund on the nonrefundable reservation but I did want to release the reservation.Reviewed Jan 16 2025

Allow to add insurance at time of purchase online and don't give surprises with $60 per day for insurance for a Canadian citizen 47 yr old driver. This is not great serviceReviewed Dec 17 2024

The most bizarre and worrisome car rental experience. I would never rent here again and no idea how this business model works as I can't imagine anyone wanting to business there. Very unprofessional and they take so many pictures of the car before and after and try to sell you way overpriced insurance. A total scam! Make sure you have collision insurance personally to avoid this scam! Better yet, pay more for a real rental car company!Reviewed Oct 8 2024

This place is a bait and switch rip off. They tried to force us to get their full coverage insurance and wouldn’t let us have the car. I would avoid doing business with them.Reviewed Sept 17 2024
