Economybookings is an online car rental broker that suits budget travellers hiring a compact in Slovakia, and it is a good option to compare against QEEQ. It does not own cars. A third-party supplier provides the vehicle, so always read the supplier's terms.
According to public company profiles it was founded in 2008 in Riga, Latvia, and offers service in many countries. Its own about page was blocked when we tried to read it, so these details come from third-party summaries and are not confirmed from the company's site.
Taply has not used this service. This review is based on the company's own site and public review platforms at the time of writing.

What Economybookings is
Public company profiles describe Economybookings as a broker that was founded in 2008 in Riga, Latvia, and works with third-party suppliers. It positions itself as a way to find the right car at a low price. We could not confirm turnover or team figures from the company site, so we leave them out.
How it works for Slovakia
Search Bratislava, Košice or Poprad pick-up, compare suppliers and choose a car. Prices differ by supplier, season and driver age. The lowest price often includes a high excess, so read it. Poprad is the usual base for the mountains, see car rental in Poprad, and Poprad Airport to the High Tatras.
The insurance trap
Reviewers on Trustpilot mention that extra cover bought on the platform is sometimes not recognised by local suppliers, and that claims can be slow. Understand the difference between the supplier's excess and add-on cover first. See car rental insurance explained.
What reviews say
At the time of writing, Trustpilot showed a high average from a very large number of reviews. Reviewers praised the quick booking steps and prices. Complaints included refund delays, unclear currency conversion and a confusing e-wallet and claim process. The company replies to most negative reviews.
Where it fits in our guides
Economybookings appears across our car pages: car rental in Slovakia, Bratislava, Bratislava to the High Tatras and one-way car rental.
Booking checklist for Slovakia
Before you pay, compare the total price, not the headline daily rate. Check the excess, the fuel policy, the mileage limit and any young-driver fee. Confirm which card the supplier accepts for the deposit, and whether the price includes the motorway vignette, see the Slovakia vignette guide. Automatic cars cost more and run out earlier in busy months, so book early for July, August and the ski season.
If you buy extra cover on the platform, keep the policy document and ask the desk how a claim would work, since reviewers report friction here. Photograph the car at pick-up and return, and keep the fuel receipt.
Who should skip it
If you want a simple booking with one big brand, direct rental may be simpler. Also compare the all-in price including excess cover on at least one other platform.
