Car was new but we had to wait to complete the paperwork at the office then walk to the pick up point in the car park. Car was being washed and took 20 minutes to be delivered,
Price was excellent. Staff helpful
An unbearable car rental experience, never encountered such aggressive insurance sales before. Despite repeatedly expressing that we didn't need it, they continued with a deadpan expression. When returning the car, they examined it with a magnifying glass (we didn't buy their insurance). If you rent a car from this company, be sure to take photos when picking up the car. Also, the staff rudely threw the keys on the table towards me and just pointed in the direction of the car without any courtesy. To make matters worse, as soon as we started the car, the tire pressure warning and reverse radar malfunction lights were on (strongly suspecting they were deliberately disabled because we didn't buy insurance). We've rented cars in over a dozen countries, and this is the first time we seriously leave a negative review! This car rental company feels unprofessional, with poor service attitude at every stage, and very petty. It was past 10 PM on the day of rental, so we had no choice but to reluctantly take the car!
Arrived at the counter at 8 AM, but was forced to wait until 11:30 AM to get a severely damaged van that could barely run. Finally left the lot at noon.
The plant form was good. However, I found they extra charged me some money 3-4times that I can’t match with my bookings. The payment is paid by my husband and he didn’t not about it. As it’s annual audit, I just found this problem. It may be just my personal experiences, but still don’t feel ok about this.
Avoid this car rental company! They create numerous traps for customers. Even after 5 months, my credit card was fraudulently charged. Do not rent from this company!
We had some trouble communicating, but after contacting the QEEQ platform hotline and confirming no additional insurance was needed, we signed the contract and picked up the car. Overall, the service attitude at the store was good and patient. The staff providing the handover service later were very satisfactory in terms of attitude, language, and efficiency.
This time, I placed two orders with this company, both at the same location in Rome Fiumicino Airport. After returning the first car, I immediately picked up the second one, so I have a fairly comprehensive experience. First, the satisfactory aspects——
1. High cost-performance ratio. The first car was a small SUV rented for four days; the second was a medium-sized SUV rented for eleven days. According to the price comparison on the rental website, although not the absolute lowest, it was the cheapest among companies rated over 8.5 by users. There were cheaper options, but with lower user ratings, which I avoided.
2. Convenient pickup and drop-off. The company's counter is connected to the terminal, and all car rental companies are in the same hall. The pickup and drop-off parking area is at the same location and also connected to the terminal.
However, there were many unsatisfactory aspects, mainly due to unregulated and inattentive service.
First, the pickup process was unpleasant. When picking up the first car on the evening of April 25th, around 9 PM, the female attendant at the counter asked for an international driving license. I was surprised—according to clear instructions from the rental site, as a Chinese national, I only needed my domestic driving license and its Italian translation notarized with The Hague Apostille. She seemed dubious and took photos of my license and notarization to send to the company translator. The translator must have confirmed my validity, so she stopped pushing the issue and started promoting insurance. After I declined, she threatened me, saying, 'Can you guarantee your car won't get a scratch? Any minor scratch, and you'll owe hundreds of Euros.' I still refused, which left her visibly annoyed. Contrarily, when I picked up the second car, the male attendant only looked at my domestic license without even asking for the notarization. Due to the poor security and traffic conditions in southern Italy, I decided to buy full insurance. He quoted 800+ Euros and 500+ Euros options, but I refused both due to the high cost. He wasn't bothered at all.
Second, there were issues at the parking area during pickup. During the first pickup at around 9 PM, no one was in the parking area. After walking around and yelling with no response, I had to call the counter. It took over ten minutes for someone to come and give me the keys.
Moreover, the return process was also unregulated. After completing the paperwork at the counter, the contract is sent to the company's internal site and the customer's email. The customer has no physical proof and must find a staff member in the parking area, who will hand over a random car of the same class based on the contract. If the customer struggles with the language or communication, the car received depends on luck. Good communicators can pick a more suitable car from the available ones.
Third, some issue emerged with the second car reservation. I booked a medium-sized SUV, specifically a BMW X3 or equivalent, but the staff claimed my contract was for a lower class, and there were no BMW X3 or equivalent cars available. I ended up choosing a Ford Kuga because of its large trunk and it seemed the best among three or four available cars.
Fourth, the lack of thoroughness was evident again. During the first pickup, it was late, and I didn't check the car thoroughly before driving off. On the road, I realized the fuel tank was significantly less than full and took a picture. When returning, the staff admitted the tank wasn't full and promised to refund the extra fuel from my deposit. The deposit was returned, but I haven't received the fuel refund.
Additionally, during the second car pickup, I mentioned booking a BMW X3 or equivalent. The staff told me to check the contract in my email, only to find the front desk staff had misspelled my email address, missing a letter. Although the staff corrected it on the spot, I never received either rental contract.
I made two bookings with this company, both at the same location in Rome Fiumicino Airport, one right after the other. So, I have a pretty comprehensive experience. Firstly, the positives: 1. The cost-effectiveness is commendable. The first small SUV was rented for four days; the second, a mid-size SUV, for eleven days. Compared to prices on the rental website, it wasn’t the lowest but was the cheapest among companies rated above 8.5 by users. There were a few cheaper options, but with lower ratings, I didn't dare to book those. 2. The pickup and dropoff were convenient as the company's counter is connected to the terminal, and all rental companies share the same hall. The parking lot for pickup and return is the same and is also connected to the terminal. However, there were many downsides, mainly due to unprofessional and inattentive service. During the first car pickup on the night of April 25th, the female attendant at the counter asked for an international driving license. I was surprised because, according to the rental website’s clear instructions, as a Chinese citizen, I only needed my domestic driving license along with its Italian notarized translation and Hague certification. She took photos of my license and its notarized translation and sent them to the company’s translator for verification. After this, she tried to sell me insurance in a threatening manner, implying I'd pay a lot for even minor damages if I didn’t buy it. I refused, which resulted in her displaying a displeased attitude. Later, during the second car pickup, a male attendant was more straightforward, only checking my domestic license without even asking for the notarized translation. I voluntarily opted for full insurance because I was heading to the less secure south of Italy, though the prices were quite high, so I didn’t purchase it. 3. There were issues in the parking lot during pickup. Both times, it was difficult to find any staff, causing significant delays. 4. Their contract management is confusing. They send the contract to their internal site and the customer’s email, but if the customer has difficulty with language or communication, they might end up with a random car from the available options. 5. Regarding my second rental, the contract stated BMW X3 or similar, but the staff claimed it was a lower category, and there were no BMW X3 or similar vehicles available. I had to settle for a Ford Kuga due to its larger trunk and relatively better condition among the available few. 6. The service inconsistency and casual approach cause customer inconvenience. For instance, the fuel tank wasn’t full during the first pickup, which I pointed out with photos. The staff acknowledged this and promised to refund the overpaid fuel, but I haven’t received it yet. There was also an error in my email address, preventing me from receiving my rental contracts despite corrections being made on their devices.
When I picked up the car, the fuel tank was not full, even though the agreement stated to return it with the same fuel level. I returned the car with more fuel than I picked it up but still got charged 58 euros for not refilling the tank. Additionally, the car model was not as promised. This company is quite deceptive. Be cautious when choosing them.
I have tried to send the confimation to you seven times and all were rejected. You have the information you requested and this is bullshit to take up so much time. I should get the credit for the rental with QEEQ and if not will NEVER USE YOU AGAIN.
Staff was very particular of scrapes on the cars with other customers. We got out without too much problems. We video taped the condition of the car at pickup.
I would have been happier had we received the car we had ordered. But as mentioned, it all worked out well in the end. The counter customer staff was all hard sell on the extra insurance, though, and I practically has to be rude to get away from them.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
QEEQ did everything they said they would; I had no issues with navigating selections of available rentals.
This was the worst car rental experience ever. I paid in full, but because I arrived an hour and 40 minutes late, I couldn't pick up the car (although there was indeed a delay note in the order that I didn't read carefully at the time, but considering it was an international flight, immigration, and our luggage was damaged, being slightly late is quite normal. I've rented cars abroad many times; are New Zealand and Australia less developed than Italy? Is it only Italians who are punctual? I've never had this situation before. The most important thing is that the rental company initially said I was late by two hours and my order was canceled; when I argued that it wasn't two hours and I had been waiting in line for over ten minutes, they quickly changed their story to say it was between one to two hours). Even after coordination from the platform, I could only pick up the car the next morning, meaning I lost a day's use of the car, and the cost of taking six people back and forth to the airport had to be covered by myself.
