The car was almost new with under 4000 kilometers driven. Any extra charges were refunded to my credit card on the same day after coordination with QEEQ. Trustworthy!

Average. Had to wait for half an hour to pick up the car, and noticeable scratches weren't documented

I specifically chose to pick up the car with a US driver's license, but at the counter, I was told I needed a Chinese driver's license and bank card. I had to make a special trip home to get them.
