All in all, a good rental.

Arrived 40 minutes early. Normally, after completing the formalities at Terminal 1, I would rush to the parking lot at Terminal 2. There was no car available. Numerous phone calls were made back and forth, and it took 54 minutes past the scheduled pick-up time to get the car. It really messed up my plans. Returning the car in advance went smoothly.

Initially booked with AVIS, but remembered the unpleasant experience in Los Angeles where AVIS forced insurance charges. Switched to Europcar before the trip. Both pickup and dropoff were smooth without excessive upselling. We got the car we wanted.

Staff at Barcelona airport tried to upsell insurance and charged extra claiming the car we reserved wasn't available. With the help of QEEQ customer service, we eventually got the car we booked. Although the process was convoluted, we were satisfied with the outcome.

1. Never trust returning a car outside business hours. Europecar in Barcelona is extremely terrible. 20 days after returning a car, I was charged again for a damaged air compressor. How unreasonable! It's unfair to blame the previous renter for internal damages after such a long time. Another car had scratches when picked up; I reported it and took photos as evidence, yet I was charged for repairs. 2. QEEQ is powerless for complaints. I provided photos and evidence to QEEQ but still no result after more than a month, just endless patience waiting. I've given up and turned to insurance claims. 3. Always get full insurance. If any issue arises, European car rental companies will shirk responsibility, QEEQ is useless, and losses can't be recovered.

We prepaid for the full amount, but due to a flight delay of over two hours, the rental company gave our reserved car to someone else. We had to wait at the airport for more than an hour, and the car they eventually provided was very dirty, with bird droppings on it.
