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 Jul 1 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 May 13 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 May 9 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 Apr 24 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 Apr 22 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 Apr 21 2025

I arrived after they closed, was unable to pick up my car, the reservation was then canceled without a refund. 100% frustration and anger. I will never, ever rent from them again. Will be attempting to get a refund via my credit card company.Reviewed Apr 21 2025

Car was give to us dirty on the outside and full of scratches nicks and dents. There are many surprise fees Also as an airport rent-a-car it is not adjacent to the airport at all. No public bathrooms is insulting after you took a long trip. Never againReviewed Apr 19 2025

Prices double on pick up p Because they will charge the insurance on spot! It should be included here upon reservation as it is required!Reviewed Apr 14 2025

One of the tires had a leak and we had to re-inflate each morning. The key fob didn't work and we could only lock/unlock the car manually. The Bluetooth/stereo would freeze and re-boot every 10 or 15 minutes of driving, the drivers seatbelt didn't automatically retract anymore and there were random pills in the door pocket when they gave us the car.... If Kayak had disclosed the rental company before booking, I would have gone with someone else. The car was cheap though so at least I saved some money.Reviewed Apr 13 2025
