If your domestic driver's license is printed with non-Roman Alphabet (Arabic, Japanese, Cyrillic etc), an International Driving Permit (IDP/IDL) or an official translation in English is required to present together with your domestic driver's license at the time you rent a car in Austria.

The staff had a very good attitude during pickup, no hidden charges or forced sales. Paying some additional taxes is normal in Vienna.

They provided us with an almost brand-new Suzuki Swift (we expected an old car), only 5000 kilometers on it. The protective film had just been removed, and all functions were fully operational. The car was in excellent condition! The staff was very friendly and spoke slowly, knowing that our English wasn't very good. After we returned home, the rental deposit was also refunded quickly.

Both the service and the vehicle were excellent. The car was relatively new, and the staff who delivered and picked up the vehicle were very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend purchasing full insurance for a self-drive trip, as various situations can occur on the road, such as scratches from flying stones. Buying QEEQ full insurance gives peace of mind.

The overall service was quite good. Personally, I prefer to purchase high-coverage insurance for overseas self-driving trips, and in such cases, the rental company tends to be more accommodating. As for buying toll tickets, they didn't force me to buy them. I understand the price is slightly higher, but a few euros difference saves me from unnecessary hassle.

Arrived at 7:00 AM on Sunday, and the owner was busy on the phone. Turns out there were other people from the same flight also renting from them. Waited for half an hour to get picked up, but the attitude was very good. The car rental process explanation and reminders were thorough, and there was no upselling. The entire process was completed in just a few minutes. Returning the car was also smooth, returning directly to the airport.

Rented a car for just one day, but they required purchasing a minimum of ten days of Austrian highway tolls. Normally in cashless countries, rental companies include the annual highway tolls in the rental price.

The service was average, and additional fees were charged. After returning the car, I received a bill that included a €24.16 cleaning fee, which was not disclosed when renting the vehicle. I have never encountered this with other rental companies.
A highway toll fee was also charged mandatorily. Although highways in Austria require toll payments, this fee is typically optional—you can decide whether to purchase it at gas stations if you plan to use the highways.

8Mild rough start but super Zippy after that! Big thanks to Qeeq, cheers!

The wait time to get the car ready and the unwillingness of the counter staff to give the cost break-up & answer my queries around cost was the only downside. If I remember correctly the delay was because they were fixing tyre puncture. Rest was all good, the car condition, cleanliness and pickup drop location.

The service was extremely poor. They forced me to purchase full insurance and made various unjustified deductions after the rental period. Even two months later, deductions were still being made, and they did not respond to emails for communication.

The usual routine of upselling insurance during pickup. This rental company charged me 29 euros for car cleaning—should have cleaned it myself for 2 euros. Small rental companies rely on these charges to make money. However, they were quite friendly.

5avoid Sicily By Car / Dryyve in Vieena they are cheap in offer but you pay double at the end!

At the time of pickup, the counter representative insisted that I either provide an International Driving Permit (IDP) or pay an additional 150 EUR for full coverage issued by your company. As a result, I had to order an online IDP, incurring an extra cost of 78 USD. Upon returning the car, the receiving agent assured me that everything was in order. However, the next day, I received an invoice with additional charges totaling 90 EUR, including: Out of Hours Charge (40.83 EUR): I had clearly stated in my booking that I would be returning the vehicle at night, and I was under the impression that this was already accounted for in the rental agreement. Therefore, I dispute this charge. Austrian Vignette (10.33 EUR): This charge is understood and acknowledged. Cleaning Surcharge (24.16 EUR): The car was returned in normal condition, with only unavoidable external dirt from rain and minor spotting on the floor mats. There was no excessive dirt or damage that would warrant an extra cleaning fee. I request clarification on the justification for this charge. Given the above, I request a refund of the unjustified charges (Out of Hours Charge and Cleaning Surcharge) and a review of your policies to ensure transparent communication regarding fees at the time of booking.

Very disappointing! After returning the car, my credit card was charged over 200 euros, claiming it was for car washing and some Vienna-related fees. During the return process, they confirmed there were no issues, yet the next day, they deducted money. They rented me a car with a Hungarian plate and still charged me a fee for entering Vienna?
The car itself had issues with the fuel gauge. It showed the tank wasn't full even after filling up and the pump automatically stopped. I ended up going to three or four different stations to refuel. Only when returning the car did they mention the fuel gauge was faulty. Couldn't they have informed me beforehand?
This was my worst experience in over ten self-driving trips in Europe.

Information about the excess will be clearly stated in the price inclusion when you reserve a car on QEEQ.

Q2. How can I add an addtional driver?

You are advised to make a request upon your arrival at the rental counter. Additional charge per day will incur unless '1 Additional Driver Included' is stipulated on the rental.
Please note that the same licence and age requirement applys to the additonal driver. The addtional driver is supposed to present the required licence document along with the main driver at pickup.

QEEQ will show you the car offers available at your chosen time on the search results.
However, pick-up or drop-off out of general opening hours may subject to an extra fee unless self-service pick-up or drop-off is available.
After you reserve a car on QEEQ, we will inform you of specific policy of the car hire company by email.

Q4. Can I take the hired car to another country or cross border?

If you want to pick up your car in one country and drop it in another, your search results will show you cars you can do that with.
If you're planning to cross any borders during your trip, bear in mind:

Depending on where you're hiring, you may not be able to take your car to another country.
Please email us if you want to take your hire car into a different country during your trip, and we'll talk you through your options.

Q5. Can I pick up my car at one location and return it at different location?

Yes. You can pick up the vehicle in one place and drop it off in another. An ‘one-way fee’ will incur. Whether it is inclued in the rental price or what additional cost may arise will be clearly stated at the time of booking on QEEQ.
Please inform the car hire company of your drop-off location when you pick up the vehicle or contact them directly during your trip. You will find a phone number on the rental agreement you signed at pickup.
