The car rental pickup was chaotic, with over an hour of waiting in line—something I've never experienced in over a decade of renting cars internationally. When I finally got to the counter, the staff couldn't find the car I reserved and casually suggested I take whichever car they could offer, regardless of the category I booked. I had reserved a Ford Focus because I had two 24-inch suitcases and a large backpack, but they insisted on giving me a Mini. I explained my luggage wouldn't fit, and they told me the system showed a Focus, but they simply couldn't locate it. After struggling for a long time, we barely managed to cram my luggage into the trunk, needing to forcefully press it down to close the door. When I asked about the fuel type, the staff didn’t know and told me to check the contract. The car was new but lacked a rearview camera and adaptive cruise control, which I accepted. However, within 5 minutes of driving, a warning light came on indicating low tire pressure. I just dealt with it until returning the car. The return process, however, was very quick—the staff completely ignored the warning light. Given how busy they were, I imagine the next renter will take the car just as is, with no inspection likely to be done.
“The rental company excellent but QEEQ room for improvement…”
