Overall quite satisfied, but the highway toll system in the US is a bit confusing. The lady at the counter wasn't very knowledgeable about the car, and didn't know what type of fuel to use (it's also not indicated on the fuel cap).
I followed the instructions to return the car and received a bill with no additional charges, but my credit card was repeatedly charged at midnight for two consecutive days without any explanation or invoice. I have no idea what the charges are for, and neither Hertz nor the car rental platform have responded after a week! It feels extremely risky to authorize my credit card to them! The car was in good condition, but how can this unauthorized charge issue be resolved?
Dealing with Hertz, Boston Airport was awful. The lady at pickup reception had to be the rudest I’ve ever met. After collecting the car there was a delay of over 20mins getting it cleared to leave at the exit. Hertz have now made a $120 charge on my CC for no explained reason. I only know this from looking at my bank statement.
About QEEQ:8.0/10
So far QeeQ have been efficient and helpful. I would rate them as excellent if they can resolve this $120 mystery charge on my behalf with Hertz. It would help if they put the Hertz booking reference on their documentation to me, as Hertz were derisory when I produced QeeQ’s booking reference at collection point.
The rental car agent did not give included liability insurance which was listed in the booking. You should fix this issue. Every time I rent, they deny the liability insurance included in the booking and charge extra over the counter.
On the third day after getting the car, the tire pressure warning light came on. We quickly got off the highway and found a Hertz location at a nearby hotel. The staff quickly measured the tire pressure and added air. She suggested that the dashboard is very sensitive to slightly low tire pressure, but it should be fine after adding air. If we insisted on changing the car, we could do so at the airport branch, but her location couldn’t handle it. We trusted her advice, and for the next five days, we had no issues.
We didn't buy the E-toll, and received a toll charge notification within ten days after using the highways. The toll and rental company's management fee were not high. Personally, I think unless you use the highway multiple times daily, not buying the E-toll and paying per use is more cost-effective.
Renting the car was convenient, but returning it was very inconvenient. Although we were told that we could return the car after working hours, the garage was closed, causing us significant trouble in the middle of the night. We had to pay for parking ourselves and wait until the next morning when the office opened to return the car. This was really unsatisfactory.
“Good price with QEED, strange service from Hertz.”
About Hertz:8.0/10
Hertz said they had no cars available because I had booked less then 24hrs before my booking. The lady at the counter said she didn't have to honour bookings that were booked less then 24 hour before the collection time. She confirmed this with her colleagues. She said try other companies but they are probably full as it's Christmas eve. I tried a few other companies and they all had no availability.
I went back to the same hertz counter and lady and asked if they had anything available. She said no. I asked was there anything even a van, anything. eventually she said they had a Tesla but it was over $1000 for the 3 days. I had already paid €254 to QEED. The $1000 was too much.
I contacted QEED who asked me to ask for a letter saying they had no cars available, I asked the lady at the counter for this, she said she can't do this but to ask the manager who she said was somewhere downstairs. I went looking for her for about 20 minutes asking other staff in the car park etc. I then came back to the counter and said I can't find the manager to the lady. Then another lady stepped forward who was the manager. I explained that I was told there was no cars but I had a confirmed booking. She instantly said take any car as if there was no issue in the first place. Of course I was delighted with this. The lady who made everything complicated then processed my booking as if nothing had happened. It was stressful and I don't understand why it was made so complicated. The lady behaved as if nothing happened. Even how she said they have no cars was as if she was saying something totally unimportant. Strange experience, I think the staff must be exhausted as it seemed like dealing with an emotionless person. Its as if she was telling me where the bathroom was not 'we don't have any cars and your holiday is potentially gonna be very stressful lets see what I can do to help.' Luckily I was on my own and felt quite relaxed as I wasn't in a rush this day. In the end I got a TESLA for the same price which was great. Just odd to priced at $1000 + then told its no extra just take anything. I am a gold member of Hertz perhaps that helped. I don't know. Everybody else was great to deal with expect the lady at the counter. Very strange.
Overall experience was pretty good. They didn't push any additional services, and the staff at pickup were very helpful. The only downside was an extra $200 charge at the end, and I still haven't received a breakdown, so I'm not sure what the fee was for.
