I knew fuel in Europe was expensive at 14 RMB per liter, so I booked a Toyota Corolla Hybrid, which I was familiar with and had rented before, giving a mileage of 5 liters per 100 km. When I arrived at the store, after confirming the contract and deducting the deposit, the staff told me they did not have the model I booked and offered me a large diesel car instead. I refused, and they said they did not have any Toyota cars at all. I asked why they had me sign the contract and deducted my payment if they didn’t have the car. They finally gave me a Hyundai SUV with a 2.0-liter engine, which I didn't want as a 1.6-liter is sufficient for my wife and me. The larger engine consumed more fuel, and parking spaces in Europe are small. If not for booking a hybrid, I wouldn’t have considered this company. I wanted to cancel the order but was told by the rental platform that the SUV was also a hybrid, and they had no other cars available. I argued that hybrids should be matched with hybrids and engine capacity should be similar. The staff handling my rental was more interested in getting off work at 6 PM and left us at the counter when it was time for their dinner break. Eventually, I confirmed with the store manager and the rental platform that the SUV was a hybrid, and I had no choice but to accept it. The deposit was 2600 EUR if no insurance was bought. Returning the car was quick, and the return process was managed by different staff at a separate counter. The process was reasonable. After issuing a return receipt, I asked when the 2600 EUR deposit would be refunded. They said immediately, but I guessed it would take about 30 days.
I chose the Toyota Corolla Hybrid because I knew fuel prices in Europe are high at 14 yuan per liter, and this car uses only 5 liters per 100 kilometers. I had rented this car before and was familiar with it. Upon reaching the store, after confirming the contract and paying the deposit, the staff informed me that they didn't have this model available. Instead, they offered me a large diesel car, which I refused. They told me that they don't have any Toyota cars at all. I asked why they made me sign the contract and charged me, only to give me a Hyundai Jeep with a 2.0-liter engine, which I didn't want. For me and my spouse, a 1.6-liter car is more than enough. Larger engines consume more fuel, and parking spaces in Europe are small. If it weren't for the hybrid, I wouldn't have considered this rental company. I wanted to cancel the order. After calling the rental company, they told me that the Jeep was also a hybrid and that they had no other cars available. I insisted that a comparable car should be hybrid-to-hybrid, same engine size. This company was terrible. The staff processing the rental left us at the counter and went to eat as soon as it hit 6 PM. Later, I had to confirm with the store manager and the rental company that the Jeep was indeed a hybrid, and I had no choice but to accept it. Not buying insurance required a 2600-euro deposit. Returning the car was quick; they had separate counters and staff for rental and return, which was quite efficient. After getting the return confirmation, I asked about the 2600-euro deposit. They said it would be refunded immediately, but I guess it will take 30 days.
We were required to buy full insurance, otherwise we couldn't pick up the car. We had already informed them that we had bought insurance through the rental platform, but the staff insisted that we couldn't get the car without purchasing their insurance. We immediately called the rental platform's customer service to explain the situation. The customer service requested to speak with the rental company staff, but the staff refused to take the call, stating that the contract was between the rental company and us, unrelated to any third party. We could cancel the order if we wished. Fortunately, the rental platform's customer service was able to cancel our original super full insurance purchase and the refund was processed on the next business day.
It was Sunday the day we picked up the car. The rental company had many counters, but only 2 employees were working. When we arrived, there were 4 or 5 groups of customers waiting. From arrival to departure, it took about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Lisbon location is a scam. When dropping off the car, they charge us for a microscopic spot on the edge of the door which was already there when we rented it out. It wasn't even visible, other clients agreed with us that it wasn't visible but the attendant told us it was our fault and charged us. Either we pay that amount or they will charge us more. Luckily we had the insurance from QEEQ but also from our credit card so we managed to get it back. But be very careful when renting from this location. I had rented from the Pisa location and all good.
Na devolução do carro foi feito uma vistoria minuciosa e apontado um dano na roda do carro... um risco...
Informei que na retirada o carro foi apenas entregue e não tem como garantir que o dano já estava, pois o funcionário só mandou vistoriar sem mostrar os danos do carro na tela do Tablet ou apontando visualmente, até achei que o carro estava ok.
Qdo retirei o carro não fizeram uma vistoria comigo apenas pediram meu visto e entregaram as chaves.
Se eu soubesse que tinha que olhar até um risco na roda do pneu com certeza eu faria
Estão me cobrando 250 euros
Já ligou um funcionário da qeeq no meu celular em inglês e falou com o atendente aqui da loja pedindo a versão deles.
A qeeq ficou de enviar um e-mail já que não entendo mtooo inglês e até o momento nada.
Estou me retirando da loja sem assinar o contrato de devolução por desacordo no processo de retirada.
Fui informada verbalmente será descontado do caução o valor de 250 euros.
No aguardo
“The car itself didn't get desired expectations relatively that was in the order.”
About GOLDCAR:8.0/10
In my order appears Alfa Romeo Stelvio (or similar) and this means SUV type car.
The claim of goldcar was they don’t recognize this order like SUV and in their company it counts like F group so we received Fiat Tipo SW with no option to change so this is not SUV and of course not similar to Alfa Romeo Stelvio class.
