Overall the rental experience was pretty good.

The rental area is very spacious with hardly any people, no lines. I was assisted by a Latino elderly man, whose attitude was mediocre.

Excellent

At San Francisco International Airport, all the rental companies are in one area and connected by a tram, which is very convenient. They'll try to upsell you to a higher class vehicle (telling me there's a half-price upgrade promotion) and add insurance. Because of the language barrier, my contract included an extra insurance. I immediately questioned it, showed my QEEQ order, and told them 'zero, zero'. They said my insurance didn't cover emergency rescue, and I declined it. They later canceled it and told me 'don't worry'. Importantly, you don't need to print out the pickup form; just tell them the pickup confirmation number. Printing a document abroad can be troublesome and usually requires self-service credit card payments. I once spent $17 to print a pickup form, but it became invalid later due to rebooking! I hope QEEQ's customer service advises customers not to worry about printing.

Picking up the car was very convenient. I reserved a Grand Cherokee, but international rentals are based on the car model, so unfortunately, I didn’t get it. I ended up with a Ford Edge, which was a pleasant surprise as it was a seven-seater. This gave us much more room for our two kids. We had the car for nineteen days, and due to a change in our schedule, we extended it by one day, which cost around fifty dollars. The switch was incredibly fast, taking only a minute. I was very impressed with the efficiency of the car rental process in the U.S.
