Overall pretty good. They did try to upsell their own insurance at first, but once I told them I’d already bought QEEQ’s coverage, they stopped pushing it.

Even though the tank was pretty much empty when I picked up the car, they did refund me for the unused fuel when I returned it. The car itself was in good condition, actually better than what I originally booked, and it was quite fuel‑efficient.

Booked a SEAT with automatic transmission but was given a near‑new Jetour with only 3,000 km on it. The specs are decent and it’s fine for low-speed city driving, but once you get on the highway, the dash keeps throwing three different error messages. The bigger issue is the steering – it feels sticky and correcting your direction takes effort, which makes driving pretty tiring. Not sure if this is just this car or a common Chery problem.
On top of that, it’s a fuel car but they set it up like an EV with a column shifter, which is whatever, but they even removed the start/stop button. You can’t just turn the engine on or off independently; the locking is all automatic sensing too – if you’re within about two meters of the car it unlocks itself, which doesn’t feel very secure when you’re outside.
Then there’s the trunk space: it looks bigger than a regular three‑box sedan, but the fixed cargo cover splits the height in two. A 28" suitcase can only just fit flat under the cover, and the depth isn’t enough unless you recline the rear seats a bit. Overall it’s less practical than a Toyota Yaris sedan, where I can easily fit both a 28" and 26" suitcase at the same time.
All in all, the Jetour is not enjoyable to drive. The space isn’t really usable and the handling is worse. Also, parking lot entrances and spaces around here are pretty narrow, so bigger cars are harder to manage.

The rental company was fine overall, but they charged €274 for the border-crossing fee plus one additional driver for 18 days, which felt a bit steep. Apparently the cross-border fee has gone up recently.

Europcar has always been the benchmark among the big rental companies for me—service is great and definitely better than Sixt. I wanted to drive a BMW, but they said I arrived more than an hour late so they couldn’t hold the X1 and offered an Audi Q3 instead, saying it’d be roomier. When I went to pick it up I realized it really was bigger, and then they actually upgraded me again to a Q5, which was a fantastic surprise. The car was quite new but had lots of scratches, so I took photos of everything. The scratches are most likely because streets and parking garages in major European cities are really narrow. If the car hadn’t had so many marks on it, I’d have given them a perfect score.

There were quite a lot of people when we picked up the car, so we had to wait a bit, but the return process was pretty efficient. You can basically just drop the car and leave. We only spent a little extra time because of the fueling issue. In the end, the staff acknowledged that the tank wasn’t full when we picked it up and gave us a fair settlement plan.

We got pretty lucky – the car we picked up was almost brand new, came with built-in navigation and a 360° camera, and it drove really smoothly. Returning it was a bit of a hassle though. We did a one-way rental and arrived after the branch had already closed. We’d double-checked with staff beforehand and were told to park in the designated area and drop the keys in the return box. The next day the branch suddenly called asking for the license plate number because no one had passed on the info internally and they couldn’t find the car at first, which gave us quite a scare.

They gave me a MINI, and even though people always say it drives like a go-kart, this generation feels pretty average. It even feels kind of heavy when you’re actually driving it.

Avis’s rental form comes in both Chinese and English, which is honestly the most convenient I’ve seen so far. I booked a BMW 1 Series and they gave me an Alfa Romeo B‑segment instead, so it was actually an upgrade. The car had an Eco sticker, so you can enter a lot of low‑emission zones, but you still need to avoid some ZTL areas that are residents‑only, like the old towns in Seville and Ronda. This car runs on 95 octane and surprisingly even had regen. When I picked it up, a full tank showed 520 km of range, and by the time I returned it, a full tank was showing 780 km — the next driver is probably going to be shocked when they see that.

The car I picked up had quite a few scratches and dents, but that seems pretty normal for cars on this island. The rental company will probably get them fixed and they do keep records of existing damage, so as long as you don’t add any new scratches or bumps when you return it, you’re fine. Just make sure to take plenty of photos when you pick up the car so you’ve got proof of the original condition.

Really impressed with QEEQ. There was an issue when we arrived in Madrid in the middle of the night and the rental company wanted extra fees because communication wasn’t going well. QEEQ stepped in, coordinated everything and handled it nicely, and we ended up getting the car without any problems.

Frequently asked questions

Q1.What is an insurance excess?

The excess is the amount you'll only be liable for in case of damage(under Collision Damage Waiver) or theft(under Theft Protection) of the vehicle.
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.

Q3.What if I want to pick up or drop off my rental car out of office hours?

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:
1. You may have to pay more.
There are often extra fees, taxes or additional cover you'll pay at the car hire counter.
2.It may not be allowed.
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.
