Cross Border

Conditional:

Depending on which countries to bring the rental cars to, policies differ:
Mexico, Canada

A vehicle can be driven across the Canadian border at any time, no matter what location it was rented from. It is recommended to have PERS coverage when using vehicle in cross border rentals for the US and Canada. The renter must have a valid driver's license and rental record to cross the border into Canada. Canadian law does require that everyone entering the country have a passport, so everyone in the vehicle must have the proper identification. If a renter (including a Canadian resident) is driving a U.S. rented (and licensed in the U.S.) vehicle to Canada, it can only be driven across the border for up to 30 days unless an extension is requested from Customs at the time of entry.

Picking up the car was quite convenient, located right across from the Hilton Union Square. However, Thrifty and Dollar have merged, so the line was somewhat long. But there were plenty of staff, so the queue moved rather quickly. Returning the car was even more convenient. We returned it in Las Vegas at a dedicated car rental center. Just follow the signs all the way in. You don't need to wash the car; just return it with a full tank of gas. There are many gas stations nearby, and the prices are fairly cheap. The car return location is not inside the airport, so you'll need to take a free shuttle bus to the airport. It's very convenient and takes about 10 minutes to get there. The driver is very nice and helps with the luggage, so you can give a small tip.

The high-performance car was replaced with a lower-performance one, and the company deceitfully claimed it was the same class. Their attitude was very dismissive, ruining my vacation mood.

Both picking up and dropping off the car were quite convenient. One of our friends in the group is fluent in English, so the staff's suggestions on additional insurance could be accepted or declined accordingly. They won't force you to buy insurance to pick up the car. If you're not familiar with insurances, make sure to check the price list clearly; you can ask to see it before settling the bill. The most unsatisfactory part was that the reserved vehicle model was overbooked. They told us the originally reserved SUV was unavailable and that we'd have to wait at least 2 hours, so we switched to a cheaper sedan. However, they compensated us with some money. Initially, they offered $40, and after some negotiation, it went up to $55. This was still inconvenient since we had several large suitcases and were used to driving an SUV. QEEQ should ensure that car rental companies can provide the reserved models to their customers.

They overcharged me twice. First, they charged $115 for fuel even though I returned the car with a full tank. Second, despite the prepaid amount covering all costs, they charged me for a second driver's license fee. Poor service.
