Very expensive.

Landed in JFK at night, rented a car, and experienced aggressive insurance upselling. I had already told the staff that I bought full insurance on the app, but they still handed me several English documents and asked me to sign them. I had my child translate for me, and it turned out to be additional insurance. I refused to sign and reiterated that I had already purchased full insurance. The staff claimed they couldn't see my insurance purchase on their website. I called the car rental customer service for coordination. The customer service confirmed that the staff knew about my insurance. At this point, the staff became very rude, spoke extremely fast, and handed me a toll fee card for signing. The price was outrageous, with a 12-day rental costing $256. I asked if it was the rental fee, deposit, or a bundled fee, fearing a misunderstanding. The staff impatiently said it was the rental fee and asked me to sign. I called customer service again. After a long conversation between the customer service and the staff, and even with the headquarters, they advised me to give up the rental, citing unreasonable charges. Headquarters confirmed there was no such price. The back-and-forth took over an hour. I will never rent from this company again; it's terrible.

Too many sales pitches

The service at the Kennedy Airport location was average. It might be because it was busy with many people. The staff seemed indifferent, passable at best.

When we arrived there was some confusion with what we had already paid to what we were quoted and expected to pay on the Qeeq site. I think this could be a lot clearer during the booking process with Qeeq. Another annoyance was the size of the car we picked up. A Kia Soul is no where near the same size and a VW Passat. However when querying this I was told they were in the same car class. This should be a lot clearer during the booking process. If a car is going to be as small as a Kia Soul we needed to know so we could have booked a car to the size we needed. The biggest delay to our journey was that our child seat did not fit the car we were supplied. The Kia Soul has a built in head rest which obstructed the route for the rear anchor point to be connected. We needed to swap out the car so we could safely fit the car seat. Dollar staff were very helpful and swapped our car. However having to que again and explain the situation meant the whole process took over 90 minutes. As you can imagine adding this time onto an already length journey with a young child caused some distress. We feel there should be some safeguard that car seats fit the car supplied. A VW Passat would have accommodated this child car seat.

We had to wait for a vehicle for 2 hours. This was due to original booking stating 4.00pm pick up but flight details were amended by the carrier so we arrived earlier. Vehicle wasn’t that clean. No portable GPS devices available sine Covid.

You should not advertise free GPS when this is not available from the renter!
