The rental company forced me to purchase full car insurance without my knowledge and did not confirm that this was a reimbursable expense, which violated my personal interests.
Very satisfied. We were given a Volkswagen Taigo with only 900 km on it, almost brand new. It was easy to drive, though a bit underpowered. The car had enough space for two people and two large suitcases. The rear seats could be folded down to connect with the trunk. Europcar provided excellent service. There were no upsell attempts, and they sincerely advised us that we didn't need to pay for additional options. Returning the car was quick—just drop off the keys, and the credit card hold was released immediately. Inside the car, a type-C charging cable is required to charge your phone.
This car rental company is relatively small. I booked to pick up the car at 8 AM, but the staff didn’t start working until 8:10 AM. The process took 40 minutes, and I was asked to inspect the car myself and take a video for my own records. The deposit will be refunded after a month. Overall, the rental experience was average, though the car's condition was okay.
There were no hard sales pitches. They simply asked if we had bought insurance. When we said we already had, they didn't push further. The diesel car is powerful enough for uphill drives. The car was in good condition and relatively new. It was easy to drive. There were no staff present when picking up the car; you could just drive off yourself. During return, staff checked the car meticulously. The entire process was smooth, and the staff explained everything clearly. Now we are waiting for the deposit to be returned.
You can call for an airport shuttle anytime. The service attitude is very good, the speed is relatively fast, and the waiting time for the airport shuttle is about twenty minutes. No queues for car rental.
Because we had a lot of luggage, we rented a B-class car but were given an A180 instead. There wasn't enough space for our luggage; we had to place one suitcase in the back seat. The staff kept pushing us to buy insurance, but we ignored them as we had already purchased coverage in our home country. When picking up the car, they told us they had video evidence of the car's condition. Due to the hot weather and thinking Payless, being part of Avis, wouldn't have poor service, we took a quick video and left. When we returned the car, they directed us to park in a well-lit spot for inspection and found scratches. They denied having any video evidence. When we showed our video, they claimed it was too bright to see clearly and didn't accept it. Lesson learned: always thoroughly document the car's condition and take clear photos and videos. The temperature on the pickup day was 39°C, and it was too hot to be diligent. It seems Avis has a low rating for a reason.
The staff at the Europcar desk and inspection personnel at Belgrade Airport were very friendly. Their English was clear and easy to understand. The car was almost brand new, having only driven over 2000 kilometers; we drove nearly 5000 kilometers. There was no push to sell insurance when picking up the car, and the return inspection was quick, then they said 'everything is ok.'
Hello,
Very bad experience with Budjet Serbia!
While getting the car they obligated me to pay extra charge of 30Euro for that they called extra hours open office.
We got the car around 23.00 while their office is open 24/7 and nothing like this condition not appeared in our contract.
After returning the car Budget send us invoice with charging additional 12Euro tax.
After writing to the their service for clarification this, they explained this additional charge for returning the car without washing it!
We absolutely cleaned inside the car and also the local guy got the car without any notes or claims but washing outside it’s looks like unacceptable demand!
I wrote mail to their local costumer service and got very disappointed answer that all described above is like costumer duty.
I was shocked from service like this from big company like Budget.
I expect help from QEEQ to solve these issues and get a refund 42Euro (30+12) that knowing before renting these unexpected charges, could change my decision to book the car via QEEQ.
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Pretty good. They gave us a nearly new car with just over 4000 kilometers. However, it did not have a reversing camera. During the trip, we encountered a low oil level and had to add a liter of oil in Greece.
Sport version with paddle shifters, good power, vehicle in good condition, no hidden fees, smooth communication, all scratches on the car were documented, so we don't need to worry. If you're still concerned, you can take another video yourself.
The store is right at the entrance of the building, offers free parking at the door, very attentive service, but the procedure is quite complicated as it usually is abroad.
Renting a car is convenient, right outside the airport. This time, I rented for 18 days and could drive in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and North Macedonia.
