Tenerife, Spain

This company is a scam. The rental cost over 400 euros and included basic insurance. However, at the counter, I was told there was a 2000 euro deposit and a 180 euro fee for transactions. They then tried to sell me full insurance, saying it would waive the fee and be cheaper than 180 euros. I needed the car urgently, so I had to spend another 1700 RMB on insurance and got totally ripped off! Currently, I'm in the process of filing a complaint.

My reservation was for a petrol car. After giving me the pickup slip, they chased me to the garage to take it back and changed it before handing it back to me. I realized it was an electric car after driving for over 200 kilometers. When I asked in English at the store whether the car was petrol or diesel, the staff acted like they didn't understand, even after I asked several times. I then realized why they pretended not to understand. It's not just about attitude; I could understand their bad attitude after I refused to buy their insurance, but pretending not to understand 'petrol,' 'diesel,' and then changing the car was just dishonest.

The queue was quite long, and the two-door Mini I reserved was not available; instead, I was given a Volkswagen Golf. They claimed it was an upgrade, but as a solo traveler, driving a four-door car with a longer body made parking in narrow European streets particularly difficult. Also, I had already selected and paid for full insurance online, but when I arrived at the store, they pushed an additional 90-euro insurance to ensure I felt safe driving away with the car. Furthermore, it is customary to receive a full tank of fuel when picking up the car and return it with a full tank. However, they charged a 90-euro fuel fee, stating that the fuel cost would be refunded based on the amount consumed upon return. After refilling the tank and returning the car, I expected the 90 euros to be refunded but only received 78 dollars back. The difference of over 20 dollars was labeled as a fuel management fee. When I complained, they gave this explanation, which seemed unreasonable. Based on this online reservation experience, I concluded that renting for 4 days was supposed to cost 660 yuan (4 days rental with full insurance) according to the online plan, but the actual cost was 660 yuan plus 90 euros for additional insurance and over 20 dollars for the fuel management fee, totaling over 1500 yuan. Next time, I'd prefer to go to the airport and compare the value-for-money options of different brands' stores before renting a car.

The guy on the desk at Goldcar was possibly the rudest person I have ever dealt with. He definitely shouldn’t work in customer service. He was very put out we had our own Insurance and therefore did not require his. If goldcar and up as an option in qeeq again I would not book.

Qeeq service and information are excellent.

Yeah all worked as it should. A very well used Opel Crossland is not an Audi A2 but it worked for me. Car had plenty of dings in it, but this is normal in Tenerife. Car was fine in all respects, other than a dragging brake. Return process simple and a very helpful guy looked after me. Deposit was a bit steep, but it was only pre-authorised and was removed soon after return.

QEEQ's site is complex. The price you see in the summary is rarely the price you pay and the it is a nuisance to have to go through it all and uncheck the boxes. Better would be to hold a profile of a user's preferences and work on that basis. Otherwise process is fine.
