This car rental experience was extremely poor, like a nightmare! I booked a Volvo XC60 SUV and arrived at the rental office early to pick up the car. First, they tried to sell us insurance, which we declined. Then, they gave us a sedan, claiming it was a similar model. We insisted that we had booked an SUV, and reluctantly, the staff brought out a Mercedes GLB. The appropriate counterpart to the Volvo XC60 SUV should be a Mercedes GLC, but the GLB is obviously not in the same category. The staff member said there were no other cars available. The signal reception at the pickup location was very poor, so we were unable to contact anyone. With all our luggage, we had no choice but to take the GLB and leave. Upon reaching the surface, we contacted the rental platform, Zuzuche, which promised to help arrange for a car swap in the next city. However, upon reaching the next city, despite Zuzuche's website showing availability of a Volvo XC60, they claimed there were none. I rented the car for 17 days and traveled through more than 10 cities but never got a replacement. Upon returning, I contacted Zuzuche's customer service, and they had the audacity to say that the Mercedes GLB and Volvo XC60 are in the same category. The industry consensus is that Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC, and Volvo XC60 are similar models. Zuzuche, however, stubbornly insisted that their rental office has the final say on what constitutes a similar model. Unbelievable! A clear case of big company bullying!
The experience was pretty decent. The staff member was quite conscientious. The car was in good condition and quite new, providing a good driving experience.
The service was acceptable, but there was a significant difference between the reserved car and the one actually received. I booked an XC90 or similar because I needed the large space for luggage, but I was given a Mercedes GLB, which is two sizes smaller, and almost couldn't fit my luggage.
The store deceived customers. We booked a Mercedes on the app but were given a Peugeot 308. Currently, the customer service of the rental app is helping us negotiate a refund. We are waiting for the result.
The pick-up and drop-off procedures were simple. There's a free shuttle bus from the airport terminal to the car rental office. I had booked a Vauxhall but was given a Peugeot 308 diesel with only 2357 miles on it, basically a new car and in good condition. The staff at the car rental company were very courteous. However, the company should improve by ensuring the car has sufficient AdBlue and by informing customers about the AdBlue warning light. I had never driven a diesel car before and had no idea about AdBlue. After driving over a thousand kilometers, the AdBlue warning light came on, and I didn't know how to refill AdBlue. Consequently, I had to stop by the roadside to check the warning signal and look up its meaning. The car wouldn't start, so I had to call QEEQ and the rental company for roadside assistance. After waiting for more than 3 hours, the rescue vehicle arrived. The technician went to a nearby gas station, bought 10 liters of AdBlue, refilled it, and the car was back to normal. The cost for AdBlue and the assistance fee were covered by the rental company.
There were additional fees, more than what was shown on the order. The staff said everyone has to pay some sort of location fee. The car was almost brand new, only a thousand kilometers.
