Going into the rental, I was familiar with Economy having used them previously and thought it okay enough to return, based primarily on the rate and the previous experience. The car I received was perfect. It was what I rented and was clean and ran very well. Here's where the "other shoe" drops. I purchased the collision insurance offered when I rented the vehicle, really just as a back up. I planned on self-insuring the rental on my personal policy like I have done multiple times before. Just to be prepared, I brought a copy of my policy for the agent to see if there was any questions that required documentation. First, she told me that the extra insurance that I purchased at the point of rental was not good enough. Then I showed my policy to her, when she told me that their vehicle wasn't covered on my policy. Being stuck and needing to get where I was going, I relented and paid for their insurance. In the end, the insurance was twice the cost of the full rental. Had I realized that this was going to be the case, I'd have gone with one of the bigger agencies that do have on-site access. Just buyer beware.Reviewed 22 Feb 2026

The car smelled strongly of cigarette smoke and had tires that were nearly bald. We never picked up the car because of this. We attempted to contact the Economy via phone and email (their office was closed) to request a change of car or a refund, and never heard back from them. Dishonest agency peddling substandard and unsafe cars.Reviewed 19 Feb 2026

Everything was good. The only issue was when we picked up the car it took an incredibly long time. The staff moved slowly and didn’t seem eager to help us. On the contrary, when we dropped it off, I was very impressed with how quickly they came to look it over and take us to the airport.Reviewed 11 Feb 2026

I told them that ld only rented a car once in my life, I'm 74, my family and friends don't rent cars. My car broke down and I needed transportation. I'd rented a car from a online service, maybe yours, from Fox rental car company for two days and they changed me $29.99 per day for insurance when I had my own and so did Economy which add up to over $500.00 that I didn't know that I didn't have to pay and none of the people helped. After I went back to the rental car companies and they said that after I returned the car there was nothing they could do. What the entire car booking and car rental companies can and should do is created information banners on all of the websites with simple information on how to navigate a car rental. But I understand why there isn't that banner. Dishonest, disceetful, amoral people wouldn't want one.Reviewed 4 Feb 2026

When I selected it had unlimited mileage but when I got there the dude put 400km for two days and when I asked him later about it he claimed that he already told me local rentals aren’t unlimited. I didn’t bother making a fuss that he didn’t. But it crazy that he tried to gaslight me. Wouldn’t not recommend this place unless you know one of the managers there and are helping you directlyReviewed 3 Feb 2026

The car was pretty stained up between all the seats. I was required to pay additional collusion coverage even after I explained that I had purchased the one kayak offered. Still, I was made to purchase the basic coverage. That should be explicitly stated. Other car rentals I've used have not added any additional coverage as required.Reviewed 3 Feb 2026

All was good. Was served quickly. The car they gave me was pretty good. The only reason I would give 4 star is because they didn't give me a car with a full tank. I don't like getting a half tank car, and then having to try and fill it to that level. I ended up returning full, so hopefully the next guests keep it at that.Reviewed 27 Jan 2026

This location is not in the PHX airport car rental location. When I discovered this, I asked if their location was staffed by a human, since their web-based tool to pre-check in was a terrible tool. They said it was staffed. Once I got there, the human had nothing to do with the car rental business - they were a parking lot attendant. This business also asked for proof of car insurance. I have never been asked for that and that is not always carried on a person and a person doesn't always have their insurance login to retrieve it. Further, the AI assistant or "text human" was not helpful to resolve these issues, lied about the staffing of the check-in location and was terrible to deal with. I'm surprised kayak would even put this company on your platform. This experience will drive me towards booking directly with a car rental company - I can't trust your platform to vet your vendors for a reasonable customer experience.Reviewed 23 Jan 2026

We booked a rental car and received confirmation email. We showed up at the counter and no one was there. It took an hour for economy to track down the person to come to the booth, who then informed us there was no cars available despite us booking a reservation. We had to get a car with another company for four times what you quoted us and I would like compensation for the inconvenience and failure to deliver.Reviewed 11 Jan 2026
