Avoid at all cost
I strongly advise to avoid using Economybookings.com (BookingGroup.com) at all cost. Before Easter, we rented a car in Cappadocia and paid for CDW insurance. I received an email confirmation saying ‘’ thank you for purchasing our Full Coverage’’. However, upon arrival, the third-party provider, Eren (oguzrentacar.com.tr), refused to give us the car, claiming that CDW insurance was invalid and insisting we buy additional insurance from them or otherwise we must leave a deposit of £2000. After 30 minutes of frustrating conversations, we reluctantly agreed to buy their insurance and paid £76 (we didn’t have £2000 to leave), as we needed to continue our journey. This was a terrible start to our holiday.
I emailed Economybookings.com immediately to express my concerns. Three days later, I received a response instructing me to submit a query via their website's 'contact us' link. I filed a Formal Complaint, requesting an explanation and a full refund for the CDW. The reply I received was unsatisfactory, failing to address my Formal Complaint, lacking a reference number, and leaving my query unresolved. After sending 3 x follow-up emails, finally today (8th May 2025) I received a response explaining about their refund policy (terms & conditions), which has nothing to do with my query. Poor communication and unacceptable customer service, therefore, I am giving a well-deserved one-star rating. Additionally, the UK number (UK: +44 20 8089 5262 ) on their website/email is useless as there is no one to talk to, so don’t waste your precious time.
