Pros:Nothing. Although I made a reservation in December, Economy was unable to fulfill my reservation.Cons:They could have given me the car I booked months in advance, or at the very least have had the courtesy to not charge my credit card after not giving me a vehicle.Reviewed 12 Feb. 2020

Cons:Everything went according to plan. I did have to cancel the insurance I purchased when I booked the car - nothing to do with Economy. I had to purchase a more inclusive package.Reviewed 1 Mar. 2017

Misleading prices from KayakPros:Not much. Car worked. That's about it.Cons:The price I was quoted on the site was NOT the same as what was provided to me. I was pressured into getting the best insurance. Even though I purchased insurance through Kayak, which was essentially worthless. I will be pursuing this further to see if I an get some sort of confirmation. The key was broken and held together by gum. Seriously. GUM. And I didnt realize this until I had reached my destination and the next morning went to start the car and they key fell apart in my hands. Like I said, I will be pursuing further compensation for the misquoted price and horrible vehicle.Reviewed 22 Feb. 2017

Cons:Cancelled reservation before the reservation date and still got charged for the car. Reason for the cancellation was because after requesting an automatic they could only provide me with a manual car. I can't drive manual transmission so I cancelled. Was told no refund would be given because I was a "no show" even though I have a voice confirmation and email on my cancellation. Waste of money.Reviewed 24 Mar. 2017

Too expensivePros:The car was very clean. The road side acictant was great. They switch a tayer very quickly and were very professional.Cons:They said it will be 9$ a day, when we get to the counter company it became 65$ a day with the insurance. Too expensive and their service in the counter when we return the car was bad. They want to charge us more than it should and his attitude wasn't politeReviewed 20 Feb. 2017

Absolutely Horrendous ExperiencePros:I didn't like one single thing..Cons:Total waste of time booking it. The booking says pay half now, pay the rest at the counter.. so I'm expecting to pay $140 max.. I get there and they try to charge me $1000 for a deposit on top of another few hundred dollars for insurance and mileage? Absolutely horrendous experience and I will never suggest Kayak for rental bookings ever again. Do yourself a favor and just book through Enterprise or other reputable sources..Reviewed 9 Mar. 2017

Fraud Business + Disregard For CustomersPros:Car was fine but not worth the surprise cost.Cons:This business is a total fraud. They advertise low daily rental costs but upon arriving inform you additional insurance is mandatory and the insurance was more than 4x the quoted total cost. They also rented me a GPS system that didn't work, but wouldn't provide me a refund. As far as I can see this business only cares about taking money.Reviewed 17 Jul. 2017

Scam artistsPros:Clean car, ran well.Cons:Our rate was 7x higher than quoted on the internet. They force you to buy government liability insurance in Costa Rica but they do not disclose a set rate. Put a $2500 hold on our card which we have yet to see if it will be refunded. Every person I saw at the ticket counter went through the same encounter with the rate being much much higher than quoted. The gas was 6/8 full and you were told to just fill to that level on return but on examination of the dents/scratches/mileage sheet they listed the car as being full. If you brought it back less than full they charged $18 per 1/8 tank. Returns and pick up are not on site at the airport. There is no on site rental at San Jose airport in Costa Rica. I can not believe Kayak continues to keep this company on their list.Reviewed 8 Feb. 2017

Costa Rica Economy Rent a CarPros:I rented a car from Economy based on your website's claim that the car rental place was at the airport site and that my US insurance would cover the car.Cons:In fact, one had to use a shuttle bus to get to the rental office and then the information provided by Kyak was incorrect. According to the employees at the rental company, Costa Rica does not allow cars to be rented without insurance purchased in the country. My cost for the car went from the Kyak quoted fee of $50 to above $300, more than six times the cost. Kayak you need to do your homework. You put me and my vacation in a very precarious situation! In terms of the car company, "let the buyer beware!" The sales reps are very aggressive and want you to sign for the car before examining it. Given the fact that the fees were so far off, I did not trust them and would not sign for the car, which was lucky because they claimed there were no scratches or dents, which could not have been further from the truth.Reviewed 9 Nov. 2016
