Counter staff were great - a pleasure to deal with. Car was a bit knackered. Wasn't impressed at waiting 40mins for the shuttle bus from the Airport - for that reason alone I wouldn't use again.
Although I had purchased full insurance from the rental company and prepared a credit card for the deposit, the staff kept pushing their insurance. Even after showing the English version of the contract stating I had full insurance, they refused to acknowledge it. When they tried to process the deposit pre-authorization, they made mistakes and it showed as failed. However, after calling my credit card bank, I confirmed that the first attempt was successful and had an authorization code. The car rental staff refused to verify this, seemingly forcing me to buy their insurance or they would cancel my reservation! It took two hours to finally get the car, greatly affecting my schedule. The pre-authorization occupied £1250 of my credit limit. Appealing this seems like a long wait. Extremely unsatisfactory!
They kept pushing us to buy insurance until we called the rental company, but still scared us with tales of daily tire blowouts in the Scottish Highlands. When we stated we would return the car with a full tank, they looked displeased, and eventually added an extra driver. The long dispute and refueling extended our pickup time by two hours, but the return time stayed unchanged according to the contract, and reasoning with them was futile.
I recommend buying insurance from the car rental company. QEEQ's own insurance requires you to pay upfront and the rental company also needs a £2000 deposit, which is locked for a long time. I had an accident this time, and fortunately, I thought the deposit was too high, so I bought comprehensive insurance for £200 from the rental company. When the accident happened, I called the rental company directly. It's impossible to reach QEEQ's customer service on the phone. If they charge customers, but can't provide the service, why make it difficult for people abroad?
They do not accept international credit cards without a chip and push for insurance sales. If you don't have a chip credit card, you must buy insurance to pick up the car.
Very poor service, they don't accept UnionPay cards, had to re-swipe the card for payment! It wasn't for the deposit either! If you only have a UnionPay card, sorry, either don't rent the car or add $1000! Car model downgraded, reserved a Volvo V60, got a Skoda Octavia Combi instead.
