I went ahead and bought full coverage on my own so I wouldn’t have to deal with any disputes if something happened. The insurance ended up costing more than the rental itself, but I guess that’s the price of peace of mind.

Staff at the rental place were pretty nice. Had to wait a few minutes to pick up the car, drop-off was done in about two minutes, so overall I’m really happy.
Booked an RV4 but got a same-class Renault Captur instead. The car felt a bit smaller, but everything else was fine.

I booked a gas car on QEEQ, but when we got to the counter the staff just looked at the booking and gave us an EV instead. After seeing it was electric, we went back and asked to change the car, but the guy refused, wouldn’t even look at the booking properly and had a pretty bad attitude, telling us to talk to his supervisor. We finally found the manager, showed him the reservation and he swapped it for a Renault gas car. Driving in Europe is still much more convenient with a petrol car—using an EV was really inconvenient.

Our self-drive trip in Spain went really smoothly overall. There was just one incident in downtown Barcelona: while we were stopped at a red light, an Indian guy on a motorbike punctured our right rear tire. We called for roadside assistance and the rental company responded really quickly, sending both a tow truck and a taxi. We took the taxi back to the rental office to swap cars. Returning the car was super easy too—you just park in the designated area and drop the keys in the mailbox. The service was excellent!

The office was fairly easy to find, and the manager was a young woman who actually seemed pretty experienced. Parking in Spain is insanely tight almost everywhere, which was really frustrating. When we first saw the rental car, we just couldn’t accept it at all—a 7‑seater that looked tiny. There were six of us, and we honestly couldn’t imagine how we were all supposed to fit. The manager told us, basically: if we don’t take this car, the rental we already paid is non‑refundable; if we wanted to switch to the 9‑seat Mercedes, it would be €200 a day. So we reluctantly took this “unbelievably small” car, squeezed six people in, and piled our luggage up like a mountain. Later, after driving into a few indoor car parks in Spain and Portugal, we realized how lucky we were—if we’d actually swapped to that Mercedes van, we’d have been in serious trouble, just trying to find and get into parking spaces would have driven us crazy. In the end we were genuinely thankful for that “cold and heartless” manager and her refusal to compromise.

Picked up the car at Barcelona Airport T1 and it was super easy to find the rental desk. The staff were locals and incredibly friendly. They suggested an upgrade and local insurance, but when we declined there was no hard sell at all, which I really appreciated. There was a small hiccup when we went to actually get the car though—the team hadn’t brought out the model we’d booked, so we ended up waiting in the parking lot for about an hour. In the end they admitted it was their mistake and upgraded us to a nearly brand-new Volvo XC40 with just over 3,000 km on it, which felt like fair compensation. Returning the car was smooth too: the staff did a quick walk-around, found no issues, and we were done. The only downside of the trip was getting a parking ticket in Barcelona, which they said can only be processed after 15 days. Hope everyone else has a smooth trip too!

The rental company was pretty good. They tried to upsell some insurance, but once I said no, they didn’t push it. When I returned the car, they checked it on the spot, confirmed there was no damage, signed everything off within a few minutes, and the deposit was released the next day.

Pick-up and drop-off were pretty smooth, but there was no staff around when I returned the car. About an hour later they charged me 1,611 euros, claiming there were scratches on the body. I’m still dealing with the insurance claim now, luckily I had taken out the extra full coverage.

Overall very good. I’d suggest skipping the website insurance and just buying full coverage directly at the counter. It’s a bit more expensive, but you don’t have to leave a deposit of over €1,000.

When you return the car it has to be completely full, and they only allow up to about 10 km of fuel usage, so you’re basically forced to fill up at a nearby gas station right before drop-off.

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.
