The entire process went smoothly without any issues, and I received a brand new car. Remember to clean both the interior and exterior at the self-service car wash when returning the vehicle. Buying a €5 wash token from the machine is sufficient; don't buy extra since it’s non-refundable. Extra tokens can only be taken back home as souvenirs.
When returning the car, there was no inspection. They just took the keys and told me I could leave. Afterwards, they kept charging my credit card without notification, twice in total, amounting to over 1500 euros. I didn't receive any email detailing the charges either. I had already paid over 12,000 RMB for the rental, which included insurance. I hope the relevant authorities investigate this promptly and refund the charges.
“I will not use Europcar Frankfurt again. Europcar in Zuerich would have waved the additional charge”
About Europcar:6.0/10
My flight was delayed and because I did not give the flight number upon reservation, Europcar had already rented the car out to someone else. They told me it would be hours before I could get the class I booked again. They made me pay the difference for the next class up. Not happy.
About QEEQ:8.0/10
Was there a protection for this included in QEEQ's policy? We traveled because of a family emergency and it was tough being as on top of things as I normally am.
1. The breakdown and origins of each fee were unclear. I never received the contract after picking up the car. They said they'd email it in 3-4 hours, but I never got it. The detailed invoice was only provided when returning the car, and it wasn't clear enough;
2. We booked a Volkswagen, but they gave us a CUPRA at the same price, despite having reserved the Volkswagen well in advance and arriving on time. The car rental company switched our car under various pretexts, which was unreasonable and resulted in extra costs;
4. On the return day, the car was fully refueled and had no issues, yet the invoice included a full tank refueling charge...
5. We only agreed to the full insurance, an additional driver fee, and the cross-border fee for driving out of Germany. No other charges should have been applied. Besides the 5200 RMB for the rental, my credit card was overcharged by an additional 8000 RMB, with excessive extra fees.
I bought the full insurance recommended by the rental car company, but the overseas rental company did not recognize it and forcibly charged me 205 euros for insurance, otherwise they wouldn't give me the car. When I contacted the rental car company, they said because I had signed it, they couldn't refund me. They push the insurance that isn't recognized overseas and do not resolve the issue, very disappointing.
1. Delayed car pickup with a bad attitude.
2. Numerous after-sales issues after returning the car, especially when booking through a third-party platform. They shirk responsibility and make unfounded charges, repeatedly charging misconduct service fees without any proof.
3. Many hidden issues: firstly, due to the domestic rental platform acting as a middleman, and secondly, neither the rental platform nor Avis could provide sufficient evidence for the so-called violations and violation management fees. Users are inexplicably charged on their credit cards! There is no way to complain or appeal!
The rental company charged an extra 250 euros without proper explanation. After contacting customer service, they canceled over 100 euros but still charged an extra 100 euros. It has been over ten days, and I still don’t know the reason for the extra charge. They provided a Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, which may or may not be in the same category as I booked, but it handled poorly. It felt unstable at high speeds, had very high fuel consumption (11-12 L/100km on the highway), and had significant wind noise. The fuel gauge was also faulty; it showed full after an hour and a half of driving, but then dropped quickly, barely lasting an hour on half a tank. Twice, I almost didn't make it to a gas station on mountain roads.
