EconomyBookings Keeps Refunds in a “Wallet” Instead of Returning Money

Do not make a reservation through this website. Even if you cancel on time and fully in compliance with the rules, they do not refund your payment. Instead, they keep the money in a place they call a “Wallet.” If this had been clearly stated upfront, it wouldn’t be an issue—but it is not disclosed. This website is not trustworthy. I have been waiting for more than four months to receive the refund for the case I will explain below, and the support teams never respond—they are very good at deflecting responsibility.

Here is what happened: On February 24, 2024, I rented a car through the economybookings.com website. Before booking, I specifically checked that free cancellation was available. Due to a change in my schedule, I canceled the reservation on February 26, 2024, which was two days before the free cancellation deadline. Later, I realized that the refund was not returned to my credit card, but instead placed into something they call a “Wallet.”

I contacted EconomyBookings.com through multiple channels regarding this issue, but I only received responses such as “you can still cancel” or “please check our cancellation policy.” The problem has not been resolved for months. They have not refunded my money for months, despite repeated attempts to contact them.
