It was such an amazing experience! The staff were incredibly patient and enthusiastic. Due to personal reasons, I didn't plan my time well and then encountered a traffic jam, so I felt I might be late. I called the company in advance since, in Europe, if you delay someone's off-duty time, you typically have to pay a 50-euro fine (please take note of this!). However, the person handling both my car rental and return was so kind. Earlier, he had noticed I was a woman traveling alone and had helped carry my luggage to the car. Even when I delayed his off-duty time during the return, he waited for me in casual clothes and didn't charge me any fees. Sometimes, the kindness of strangers can be so touching. It was truly heartwarming!

The service was excellent. The originally booked BMW 5 Series broke down, and they initially offered me a BMW 3 Series. After I expressed my dissatisfaction, they upgraded me to a Lexus RX450 SUV with only 1,880 kilometers driven.

Very good service. Especially when we returned the car an hour late, they didn't charge us for an extra day. Originally, we reserved a Polo, but they upgraded us to a high-end EV version of the Yaris instead, which included features like lane departure warning, emergency collision avoidance, and a rearview camera. The car was also easy to drive, though on the last day the tire pressure was low, so we went to a gas station and refilled it ourselves.

The car rental company is pretty good and efficient. Both QEEQ and Alamo provided excellent service. However, the car we received for this trip had issues. The Renault Clio's radio suddenly turned its volume to the maximum while driving on the highway, which was incredibly loud and dangerous, and we couldn't adjust it. After several minutes, the issue disappeared when we slowed down, but we didn't dare to use the car's system for the rest of the journey.

Pick-up process was convenient, staff attitude was good. However, I rented a BMW X3 but was provided with a Mercedes GLC300de. The vehicle was relatively new, with less than 10,000 kilometers on the odometer, but the trunk was quite small, only able to fit three small suitcases. The return process was swift; the inspection staff simply walked around the vehicle and said everything was fine, and the deposit was refunded within an hour. A reminder for everyone: Swiss roads can be quite tricky. They are narrow, have sharp bends, and drivers tend to go fast and aggressively. There are many speed limits, restrictions, and mobile cameras enforcing them, with frequent incidents of concealed enforcement. Self-driving tours may not be very friendly here. Road restrictions change quickly and often, so it's crucial to drive carefully.

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.
