Economy Rent a Car

I’m disappointed that i couldn’t give this a lower rating but let’s say they get one star for an impressive posted rate. After that, my goodnees, the rating falls off a cliff. The car was fine, a Chrysler 200 relatively clean. It worked fine for 2 days and then, as i was helping my mother into the hospital, the battery died. Called Economy, no one answered. Luckily, i got a friendly boost, but the next morning, it died again. I called the office and was told i must have done something to it and i should call a cab to boost it. $ 25 later, i was boosted and on my way. I left the car running for an hour just in case, but it died again the next time. $ 30 later and i decided i had to take it back to them. Hassan, the only person who seems to work there and answers the phone tried it and couldn’t get it to start. He did notice that i hadn’t filled the engine (right because every time i stopped it cost me $ 30) and charged me $ 71 in gas and «reimbursed» me $ 30, leaving me $ 41 in gas and $ 25 in boost fees out.
I told him i would wait to watch him boost it, run it and start it himself since he insisted it was something i’d done, but i don’t think he wanted to call his mom out to boost it.
Sadly i didn’t read the other review here until now, but she ‘s right about shady AND that there are several names attached to this one counter and yard, which would more aptly be called Hassan’s rental car. Save yourself the misery. You’ll pay as much in the long run.

If you want a shady experience and get ripped off, come here! They go by several different names — Payless, Renta car, and Economy. Three people standing in line before us experienced the same frustrations so we knew what to expect. We showed them our reservation through Kayak and they tried overcharging us double what we booked it for. We did the math and told them that it didn’t make sense and he recalculated it, agreed and gave a new price which was still not the same as the reservation price. He said it’s because the website shows in USD and not in CAN $! He «upgraded» us to the mama van but we had to pay for it but we were tired of waiting and arguing by that point so we just took it.
Get your boxing gloves on if you do end up booking with them.
