A Complete Scam – Avoid Economy Bookings
I booked a Toyota Corolla Wagon for 5 days through Economy Bookings. The total price quoted was $160.46 NZD, with Economy Bookings taking $87.46 NZD upfront and confirming I would pay $95 FJD on arrival at Nadi Airport, Fiji. Everything seemed fine… until we arrived.
Their call centre number didn’t work, and the instructions told us to look for Blacktown Rentals. When we found the representative, he immediately told us the price was $95 FJD per day — not the total amount Economy Bookings had confirmed in writing.
We had just landed with two tired kids in the Fiji heat after an early morning flight. At that point, we were stuck. After arguing, the man insisted it was “Economy Bookings’ mistake” and still charged us $90 FJD per day. We had no choice but to accept it so we could get our children to the resort.
And it gets worse.
The car they gave us was in shocking condition — dents everywhere, peeling paint, missing light covers, and nothing like the clean, modern photos shown on Economy Bookings’ website. My husband was embarrassed to even drive it.
This entire experience felt like a bait and switch scam. Economy Bookings takes their cut and then completely washes their hands of any responsibility. No support, no working phone number, no accountability.
My advice: DO NOT book through this website.
