During my recent car rental experience, I encountered aggressive upselling tactics that were both unprofessional and based on questionable premises.
Firstly, the staff heavily emphasized worst-case scenarios to upsell additional insurance, presenting it as though an accident was almost inevitable as soon as I drove off the lot. This approach felt more like fearmongering than a genuine effort to assist customers in making informed decisions.
Secondly, I was offered a Fuel Purchase Option at an upfront cost of $67, under the claim that it would relieve me of the need to return the car with a full tank of fuel. However, based on average fuel consumption for a typical trip in Hawaii, the estimated cost of fuel would likely be under $50—even if the car was used daily. This option, therefore, seemed overpriced and unnecessary. The sales tactic included exaggerating the inconvenience of refueling in Hawaii, including claims that fuel stations were difficult to access or that foreigners might face additional fees due to credit card charges. The most peculiar assertion was that entering a ZIP code at fuel stations posed a significant obstacle, which seemed far-fetched and misleading.
These aggressive upselling techniques undermined my trust in the service and detracted from an otherwise straightforward rental process. I would encourage a more transparent and customer-focused approach, emphasizing informed choice over pressure tactics.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
As always, the process was seamless, with an easy-to-navigate system and excellent communication. I especially appreciated the WhatsApp messages providing timely reminders about my car rental and helpful tips on navigating the area, including recommendations on places to visit.
The inclusion of Google Maps links for both pick-up and return locations was incredibly useful and much appreciated. This small but thoughtful detail made the process even smoother.
Additionally, thank you for the heads-up about potential upselling tactics for insurance and other services at the rental location. Your proactive advice helped me feel prepared and confident during the transaction.
Overall, a fantastic experience—thank you!
Extremely poor car rental company, 100% not recommended. Arrived 2 hours late due to my child's illness, despite it being a prepaid order with a no-show penalty of full payment. There was no reason for them not to hold the vehicle, especially since I called to inform them. When picking up the car, despite having the original car available, they insisted I pay $150 for an so-called upgrade. It's completely a scam. Waikiki's Hertz, Dollar, are the same company, and the service staff were very rude.
I reserved a Toyota Corolla but was given a Nissan instead. There was also an issue with the tires, so I couldn't drive the car back to the return point and got charged a large fee.
“great experience but use Qeeq AXA insurnace since cannot use CC insurance w No proof of rental car”
