Reservations, Deposits and Payments

Can we rely on the rate you quote for a car or van rental?

Economy Rent-A-Car rates are subject to change at any time, but once your rental car or van reservation is confirmed, that rate is guaranteed and will not change. And you can always count on Economy to have very competitive rates!

Plus, with the exception of special-equipment reservations (passenger vans, minivans) your reservation can be cancelled any time prior to arriving at our counter, but please give us the courtesy of a phone call or email to cancel. Special- equipment reservations may require a deposit and 48 hours’ notice of cancellation. See the next FAQ.

Is there a Deposit required when making a reservation?

No. But there may be additional charges for Insurance, Damage and Deductible Waivers, Special Equipment, Fuel, unpaid Tolls and fees, or other items discussed at time of rental.

Our Rental Agreement Folder provided at the time of rental describes in detail our various Coverages, Waivers, Insurance and Protection Packages.

In some cases, when placing an advance reservation for a Special Equipment rental (such as a minivan or 15 passenger van), a $100 – $200 deposit may be required to hold the reservation. In these special equipment deposit situations, a 48-hour notice of cancellation is required to secure a deposit refund.

Insurance, Waivers & Protection Packages

What is your policy on Collision coverage?

Economy Rent-A-Car requires that all renters have Collision coverage in order to rent any vehicle. Renters may use their personal coverage providing that it transfers to a rental vehicle; they may have collision coverage added to their personal policy; they may use the collision coverage offered on their credit card; or they may purchase our Limited Collision Damage Waiver.

Note: They may add collision coverage to their personal policy.

What Insurance or Waivers does Economy offer at additional charge?

The renter is responsible for any damage to the vehicle or liability that occurs during the rental period. Economy therefore requires that the Renter have full coverage Auto Insurance coverage on their own vehicle that will transfer to a rental vehicle. However Economy offers a Limited Collision Damage Waiver (LCDW) to those renters that carry only liability insurance on their personal vehicle. This Waiver carries a $1,000 deductible.

Economy offers a Deductible Waiver that, if accepted, eliminates the renter’s responsibility for paying any portion of their own Auto Insurance Deductible in case of any damage to the Economy Rent-A-Car vehicle.

We also offer Supplemental Liability Insurance, issued by an Insurance Company. If accepted, it provides up to $1,000,000.00 Liability Insurance coverage in case Renter or Authorized Driver causes Bodily Injury to others or Property Damage in an at-fault accident.

What Protection Packages does Economy offer?

Economy offers three Protection Packages:

Basic Protection Package (BPRO): If accepted, it provides both Deductible Waiver and Supplemental Liability Insurance as described above

Choice Protection Package (CPRO): If accepted, it provides Supplemental Liability Insurance and a $1,000.00 Deductible Collision Damage Waiver as described above.

Select Protection Package (SPRO): If accepted, it provides Supplemental Liability Insurance and a $0.00 (zero) Deductible Collision Damage Waiver as described above.

Do you offer unlimited mileage?

Do you have any geographical restrictions for your rental vehicles?

Yes. Travel through or to New Jersey and/or New York is not permitted in an Economy Rent-A-Car vehicle. Travel west of the Mississippi River must be approved in writing by the renting location.
