車は清潔で通常のレンタカー会社が提供するレベル以上で文句なしでした。空港でのピックアップに約３０分以上待ち、お客が多かったためドライバーだけがレンタカー会社に送られ、同行者は空港で待たなければなりませんでした。カウンターでの手続きも混雑のため６０分以上かかりました。返却は営業時間外だったので、空港までの送迎サービスはなく、自分でタクシーを手配する必要がありましたが、予約の時点でこのような情報は提供されていませんでした。

The car rental company is fine. However, as a ten-year user of QEEQ, I am not very satisfied this time. First, the order stated that the price included an additional driver, but upon arrival the rental company repeatedly confirmed that an additional driver would require extra payment. My English is very good, so there was no communication issue. I tried calling QEEQ but the line was busy, and their online customer service had a queue, so I had no choice but to pay extra for the additional driver. Now, in the after-sales stage, more than a week has passed and QEEQ's response is 'waiting for the rental company to confirm.' The rental company clearly states that additional drivers are not included, but QEEQ's order says otherwise. My payment record shows I paid extra for it. Why can't they just compensate me immediately? I think QEEQ should first cover the difference and then communicate with the rental company. After all, I rented through your platform and signed an agreement with you. If I have an issue, I come to you. You can't just pass the message and not take responsibility. Otherwise, what's the point of your service? Second, I purchased full coverage insurance, and the windshield got broken. 1. I had to pay upfront, which is fine, but some banks charge a currency conversion fee because Icelandic Krona is a minor currency. 2. The compensation amount can fluctuate due to the exchange rate difference between the day you pay and the day you get reimbursed. 3. You need the car inspection report for the claim, which takes time, and catching a flight back home is crucial. 4. It's been over a week since I submitted the claim, and there's been no update. If I had bought insurance directly from the rental company, I could just return the keys and leave if the windshield broke. None of these issues (time cost, currency conversion fee, exchange rate cost, claim communication cost) would occur. I do not see any proactive communication or action from QEEQ on these points, only 'waiting.' My review is factual, and others can judge for themselves.

We were a group of 6, with 6 carry-on suitcases and 6 backpacks. We originally booked a mid-large size MPV, but they gave us a 'compact' MPV instead, which clearly did not match the product description. I recall that the price for the given vehicle was cheaper when we initially booked. So, the 6 of us were squeezed together.

The car had just over 40,000 kilometers on it, and the condition was good, equipped with snow tires. The rental agency I booked with was Dollar, but in reality, it's a joint operation with local agencies Thrifty and Saga. All three brands operate at the same location, and services and insurance are provided by Thrifty. Therefore, booking with the other two might get you a better price for the same model. The staff at the rental agency confirmed whether I needed additional insurance. I showed them the English statement on the QEEQ booking form saying 'Supplemental insurance already included, no need for additional purchase,' and they didn't ask further. They specifically mentioned that the tunnel near Akureyri is the only toll point along Route 1, and you can bypass it. Upon returning the car, the inspection was quick, and the process went smoothly. Overall, I was satisfied with this rental experience.
