En el mostrador nos ofrecían un seguro que incluía coste 0 ante cualquier inconveniente, y era de mejor precio que el seguro adicional pagado de Axa en QEEQ, con el que te obligan a pagar cualquier inconveniente y luego pedir a Acá que lo devuelvan.

The staff were very helpful. I didn’t realize there were two airports in Belfast. Our booking was for the international airport, but we ended up at the city airport. The reception staff were very nice and quickly arranged a car for us. However, the service during the car exchange was just average. They wanted to charge £70 for a tiny scratch on the tire (we didn't encounter any issues during the rental period and have no idea how it happened; it was raining when we picked up the car, so we didn't notice it). In the end, the rental company didn't charge us, as it seems they resolved it internally. Overall, the experience was smooth, and no extra costs were incurred. It was a pleasant car rental experience.

Highly recommend Europcar. Unlike other rental companies that add extra charges, the initial quote is exactly what you pay, and the final billing process is very swift.

Pretty good. Although the provided Peugeot 5008 was somewhat different from the Mercedes GLB I booked, it was close enough and quite easy to drive.

The trip was three days to the Highlands and Isle of Skye, covering 600 miles. British drivers are indeed very disciplined, but it's true they don't slow down at turns. On those roads narrower than a two-lane road in China (often lacking a centerline), with a speed limit of 60 mph (100 kph), occasionally you'd see a fast-moving European heavy truck coming from the opposite direction. For someone used to left-hand drive and driving on the right side, it's easy to steer into the curb or ditch on the left. On the Isle of Skye, I even got two tickets in a single day. The first was for overnight parking where charges start after 8 AM the next day—the officer issued the ticket at 8:20 to meet his quota. The second was because parking on roads with double yellow lines is prohibited—foreigners commonly parked like that, and I wasn't paying attention. I confronted the officer (both tickets were issued by the same officer) and explained the official parking lot was full, and he replied bluntly, “Come back another day then.” When I mentioned I already received two tickets, he mockingly said, “Today sure is my lucky day!” I deeply regretted not responding sharply at the time. Later, I appealed online and received a response the very next day stating that since I was a foreigner visiting for the first time and might be unfamiliar with the rules, both tickets would be canceled, which did lift my spirits a bit.

The service was excellent and patient. On the return day, we could choose between an on-the-spot inspection or a post-return inspection; we opted for the former to confirm everything was fine before leaving. Communication went smoothly, there was no upselling of insurance, and they upgraded the vehicle model. The car was very new, and the driving experience was great.

The staff was great and efficient. He informed me that the car I booked was not available and offered a free upgrade to a Nissan Qashqai. He also asked if I preferred a manual or automatic transmission and eventually brought over a Grandland. The car was spacious, brand new, and extremely comfortable to drive. The staff only inquired once about buying insurance in-store and did not push after I declined. He explained the claim process very clearly. Overall, I had an excellent experience.

Overall it's acceptable, though we were very prepared in advance. We took comprehensive photos of the car, so there were no disputes afterward. Reminder to everyone: make sure to take photos of the car from all angles when picking it up and upload them to QEEQ just in case. We just dropped off the car and are currently waiting for the security deposit to be refunded to our credit card, hoping everything goes smoothly.
