I had an AMAZING experience here last night. Anthony was a huge help and there was no hidden fees. Of course your have to make up the difference for your insurance so the price was increased. But that’s always expected when booking a rental! Easy process great price !!!

Excellent customer service from Gaby in Returns!! She helped clarify many questions I had regarding the service and the area.!

They charged me upfront, then deny to render the service because they do not sell temporary insurance to florida residents. They even asked me if I had an ID from any other state. And because that wasn't my case, they denied to give me the car that I had paid. And to pour more salt on the wound, they refuse to give me a refund, even if that policy is not public or published anywhere... den of thief. KEEP AWAY OF THEM.

Complete scam. They tried to say I was not covered with my insurance and my credit card on top. They just try to sell you their insurance which is ILLEGAL. FL state law requires them to have a min amount of insurance for collision and liability. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM.

So true this place sucks they tried to steal my money took me 2 months to get it back

The dumbest thing you could ever do in life would be to rent a car from here, support this horrible business, and tacitly endorse the worst customer experience. They’ll charge you for everything and much more.

I'm just gonna start walking in renting nothing online because you end up with this horrible place, you type in airport and end up in Hell

Bait and switch scam artists. Eventually this place will be forced to shut down.

C Ferr | Sep 11, 2018
Eric Crescioni | Sep 11, 2018

Hope so as well. Basically same cost as a good rental place like Hertz, in the end. They gave me a run down Nissan versa when I had paid extra for something better (prepay online). Never again.

I feel that I was defrauded by this rental company. What can I do?

Andrew Sirulnik | Sep 11, 2018
Larry Kunz | Sep 11, 2018

You can try Yelp or the BBB, but if you look very closely, and i mean with a microscope, it's spelled out in the paperwork and various click thru screens. You're not alone. That being said, if you did all that, you can get a car or the door for under $10. Good luck.

WHY HASN'T THIS PLACE BEEN SHUT DOWN YET????

Never please don't rent a car for this Economy you well be sorry, they're refuse to canceled you reservations and charge more money if you have drivers licenses from Florida ,you asking to canceled with 5 minute they refuse, they show pickup the car from airport and putting you credit card is informed you pickup your car from different adress.please don't rented

Skip the headache- go to Enterprise - no hidden or extra fees there. Do not be fooled into thinking you will save when renting with this company.

Tracy Collins | Sep 11, 2018

This Company is a scam! Do NOT book with them! We booked a rental car through Priceline (which we love) but Economy charges separate for everything! There is no way to pay your quoted rate! AWFUL

Lyndsey Engel | Sep 11, 2019
Allan Tapia | Sep 11, 2019

Depends in what state you are I guess. I rented in Florida and it is mandatory to get insurance. I rented through a third party and they were very clear about the insurance and what the law requieres. Hope this helps.

Disgusted by Economy Car Rental in Fort Lauderdale charging us over double for our car rental - insisting we had to take out their liability insurance and refusing to let us use our own. They were extremely rude!

Linda M | Sep 11, 2019
Michael Massey | Sep 11, 2019

I agree I had the same situation. I actually had to have my wife puul up an insurance policy declarations page and send it to then to get out of their cut rate insurance policy. ITS A SCAM!

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS SLIME OF A BUSINESS!!!! UP charged me, 350$! Don't know how the workers sleep at night after treated people so horribly. It is so disgusting that this place is still in business!

I didn’t have that problem! I booked on Expedia. I got a cheaper price.

I like to know where i get more complying about this ,first the time you start reservation is tell you pickup the car from airport and returned to same location,after you paying is givine different location, in top charging you 67.

I was upset about this at first but it turned out being a really easy process. I just rented from them this weekend. The shuttle will be waiting for you as soon as you come outside. The ride was literally 2-3 mins there. The line was short and pick up easy. Make sure you get the easy Sun Pass for 29.99 you can ride the express lane and avoid the backed up traffic. The shuttle will drop you off when you return the rental. Oh call Economy and let them know what time your flight is coming in so they can specifically be waiting on you.

The worst place ever, they never heard me, never rent a car here, you pay the doble, they treat you like they are the big deal you have to pay whatever they want or you lose all the money that you paid in advance and .

Is there a shuttle from the Fort Lauderdale Airport to your location, and if so, where do you get the shuttle? Also, is there a shuttle going back upon car return?

Joe Manel | Sep 11, 2018
Jason H | Sep 11, 2018

It takes 2 shuttles to get to Economy Rental from airport. They will then raise the price of the rental. Save time. Ride no shuttle and rent from reputable company.

Hi I am looking for small car from November 6 to November 13, i saw your price at 171 $ with taxes but i will like to know about the insurance for this week, so a much that will be all together. Thank yoSylvain Fretigny

Sylvain Fretigny | Sep 11, 2018
Ryan Camp | Sep 11, 2018

Best bet is to go with Enterprise, they will beat Economy's price and there are no hidden fees. With economy thier strategy is to make you feel like you're stuck and you have to go with them. DO NOT RENT FROM ECONOMY!!!

Why are you guys selling sun passes when the governor has stopped stop collecting tolls seems like fraud to me

A Google User | Sep 11, 2018
John Ferrari | Sep 11, 2018

The stop on SunPass tolls is only temporary due to Hurricane Irma.

Expedia advertised this car unlimited milage and enhanced cleaning(car was not cleaned ) rental for $40 a day, I rented for 4 days which should be $160.00 No how about $320.00 Stay away from this rental company

Eli Martinez | Jul 12, 2022
Miguel Rodriguez | Aug 11, 2022

Under 25 years of age you pay about $25 extra.

Matthew Y | Jul 12, 2022

My experience was decent. Was shown $20 per day for a compact. Ended up paying $30 after taxes and insurance. Not a bad deal. They did try to blame a dent on me upon returning it, but fortunately I filmed a walk-around before I left and was able to show that the dent was pre-existing.

YK K | Jan 13, 2022
Harry Marquart | Jan 13, 2022

It's not long but they drop you off at a bus terminal and you have to drag your luggage from the rental van to the bus to get to the terminal. We missed our flight so give yourself plenty of time.

I am arriving with a late flight from Cancun 11:30PM on April 17 2021. It will take me approximately 1 hour to get my luggage. Can I get my rented car around 1:00 AM. Is the double shuttle working at that time?

I was charged an additional $30.00 to "process my insurance" in case of an accident. Never had this experience before in my life. If I am in an accident, then charge me. What a rip-off. Never again. One star is too many. Will inform everyone .

You either put 1000$ hold on your card or pay the self insure fee. They don't tell you that until you get there though

What does Economy rental car -- Ft. Lauderdale charge for their daily insurance on the car.?

Gambo Six | Sep 11, 2019
Wanda Guesnon | Sep 11, 2019

Yes, unless you bring a copy of your insurance coverage showing all $$ otherwise they want to talk directly to your agent.

I have booked a car with you March 27th for pickup at the airport March 30 and return April 8. I cannot find the receipt, only have the confirmation on my VISA account and the Insurance with Allianz. Can you pls e-mail me the verification of my rent

Michael Eisner | Sep 11, 2019
Upahar Jung Shah | Sep 11, 2019

Call them and ask if they have the booking. Also ask about the cost at the time of pick up. I bought a collision insurance but they told me that since I have used American express credit card to make a reservation Amex would cover for the collision. So I had to cancel the insurance I had purchased. But bought liability insurance from them which was about $12 a day.

Airport bus will drop you at the rental car building (where Enterprise, Avis, etc are). From there you will have to take shuttle. Call them once you are airport they should be able to guide you.

why when I booked at price show $113, was I then changed $150 when I did nothing beyond what I originally signed up for ? Will this happen again if I use the pay now method? There are no disclaimers I see that would be up front with the true price

Alex Tempesta | Sep 11, 2018
Scott Kline | Sep 11, 2019

Go some where else. They do not reply to email. Their excuse is you should have read the contract. They should give you a real quote and honor it. I did have all the proper documentaion and they still over charged me.

How much was the deposit?

Michelle Krull | Sep 11, 2018
Larry Kunz | Sep 11, 2018

They held $1000 from me. It' was dirt cheap to rent, but you needed specific proof from your insurance company that you were fully covered, or you'd have to buy their insurance, which wasn't cheap.
