Service in the front desk was terrible. Booked vehicle was not available, they had only one similar vehicle in option but the guy in desk, he says we can't give you this vehicle because of security reason. He was about to say we are not able to provide any vehicle but after mechanic check, we finally get a vehicle and we spent more than an hour.
I asked off hour returned policy, he told we do not have dropbox but you can park in our parking lot and leave the key inside the vehicle and I asked twice just for make sure cause I have never done this thing, leave a key inside of the car, I guessed they have an extra key. Exactly I followed the instruction when I returned the car but they didnt close my account till a week later from car return day.
I keep calling to all the possible location, customer service, manager, pick up location the guy who was sell to me, keep telling the story but nobody able to solve the situation right a way. they keep charging $100 per day on my CC. seller guy told me you left a key inside the car so we are not able to get key from inside so we have to call AAA and whatever the charges you would be responsible for that, which is totally unfair.
I spent about 2 hours in a call every day after 5 days of return the vehicle. finally, I have seen they charge regular charges for one day but I am not quite happy with the overall system, service and response timing.
I had a deal with so many rental company but never had this kind of worst situation, what about my compensation?
Overall not bad, the waiting time for picking up the car was about 20 minutes. During this time, the staff asked if we wanted to add insurance options, but since we had already purchased full insurance through the QEEQ platform, we declined. The staff remained polite. However, there was a miscommunication—possibly due to language barriers—which led to an issue where the 'No need for a full-tank return' option might have been selected. Thankfully, the issue was resolved smoothly through the QEEQ platform. Additionally, it is highly recommended to purchase full insurance. Don’t try to save a little money and neglect it—minor scratches or dents can be fully covered. Also, make sure to record a video of the car's condition before picking it up, as some cars might already have scratches. Protect your own rights.
Convenient and fast, no forced insurance. The only drawback was that we didn't get the car we ordered; instead, we got a Buick Encore, which is smaller and had 7,000 miles on it.
I took the HERTZ company bus at Las Vegas airport to pick up the car. The staff had a very bad attitude! They told me the Toyota 4Runner I booked wasn't available, only a smaller Hyundai Santa Fe SUV. If I wanted a different car, I'd have to pay extra! There was no way to get another car without paying more! Due to a tight schedule, I had no choice but to accept. Then they asked me to buy insurance, and I said I had already bought all the insurance through the rental platform, but they said their company did not recognize that insurance. After calling the support line in the US, everything was sorted. When I swapped the car in Los Angeles fifteen days later, the process was smooth and took less than five minutes, and they even provided a direct ride to LAX airport. I want to ask the rental platform's customer support: Are the booked and actual cars the same class? If they are, why is there such a big cost difference?
