Satisfied

The office of several car rental companies partnered with QEEQ is located on the second floor of the train station, directly opposite the train engine (the parking lot is shared as well). I arrived around 8:00 am, and there was no queue. The promised manual Mercedes A-Class was not available. I wondered where the famous German precision was. The customer service gave me two options: 1. BMW 1 Series for an additional €18, or 2. DS4 with no refund or extra charge. I was not satisfied with the options given, but I ultimately chose the manual DS4. I paid a €300 deposit and went to pick up the car myself. The customer service provided a small map, which was quite easy to follow even though I had to turn three streets and climb upstairs. Considering my poor English, I was quite proud of myself for finding the car. The car wasn't washed after the previous return but was fairly clean, probably due to Germany's good environment. Before returning the car, I filled it up with fuel, according to the contract, which stated no less than 98#. The gas station didn't have 98#, so I asked a local who happened to work for a car rental company. He said the manual in the glove box specified the required fuel type. I didn't understand it, so he directly told me to use E10. After refueling, I noted the pump number and paid at the counter. For the return, you need to drive into the parking lot from the back. I wasn't entirely sure but luckily met some friendly Africans who were returning their car and told me, 'Return? Back!' I actually understood them. Park the car in the slot to the left of the entrance, and the inspector will check it. You can leave after the inspection and get a printed confirmation of the return. I didn't request it, trusting the German people. Overall, I was satisfied with this rental experience. However, they didn't provide the specified car, and I was not satisfied with the solutions offered. The DS brand wasn't among the alternatives listed, so why was it given as an option?

The front desk was very nice, and the car was new and clean.

Renting the car was convenient with no additional sales pitches. They only asked about full insurance. The self-service pick-up was clear and the charges were transparent.

Managed to get a free upgrade from our booking. Excellent customer service. Service staff re-iterated requirement to get vignette for driving into Austria.

Did not check if there's any price drops from my booking date. Otherwise, seamless experience.
