Bad experience with Economy Car Rental:
Reserved a car through "Economy Car Rental," a Greek-based company (i just learned!) in November of 2014 for our June, 2015 trip to Iceland. The price was reasonable at about $300 USD. Three weeks before the trip we received an email notifying us that the rental company with which we had the contract with went "bankrupt," and the reservation was null and void. No offer was made for a new reservation. We needed the car as we were going to travel Route 1, the "Ring" around Iceland and needed a reliable car to do so. I made a new reservation with "Economy" Care Rental and, lo and behold, the price tripled to about $600 USD for the same car! (I have full documentation with both "contracts!" and would be glad to share with anyone!)
In addition, we were hit by a driver near Hofn, IS and were told by the police that all we needed was a report, which we promptly filed with the car rental company (SIXT). Of course, we paid "Economy" Car Rental and extra fee to provide us with insurance and they do not accept the Icelandic way of reporting accidents. I was out $900+ USD for an accident that was not my fault.
If anyone knows how I can sue these cheats, please let me know. i want my "insurance fee" back. Fortunately, I had additional travel insurance which covered the entire incident 100%. The fact that these slime balls refused to consider the loss because I didn't have a police report (there is no such thing in ICELAND!), shows how they rip people off. Stay away from this company.
And.of course, do not, never do business with this company.
