The counter staff could have provided charging details (i.e., how it is billed since Tesla charging is associated with the car, not an external credit card or the like). Also, a charging cable for non-Tesla charging would have added flexibility (although Tesla charging network is great).
“Good car, reasonable price, but poor service standard by Fox Rent a Car”
About Europcar:6.0/10
While the car was in a good condition and the price was reasonable, the service at Fox Rent a Car was pathetic. There were just 2 people manning the counter and both were super slow in dealing with each customer. It took more than 10 min for each customer and they took so much time in non-business related conversation and in selling insurance, leading to longer queue of customers. When we escalated the slow service issue to the manager, she was cold and said they are short staffed and are doing what they can. The male staff member was hostile towards me and another customer for complaining to manager. My car took 45 min to arrive as the cleaning and washing was not completed. Further, Fox shuttle dropped us at a train station from where we had to take a train with our heavy luggage to reach the airport. The shuttle driver acknowledged that the poor service standards were due to Fox's constant cost cutting. I would never like to hire from Fox again and QeeQ should disassociate itself from this terrible service provider.

The booking platform, pricing and insurance related information was very helpful. I raised a couple of queries through mail, which was promptly answered by QeeQ staff.
This is the first time I've encountered being charged for returning the car early without a refund. I already bought insurance, but they added more insurance, leading to duplicate purchases. This made me have to go to the store to resolve it, wasting a lot of time.
The rental company provides excellent service, patiently explaining payment details and additional driver issues. For minor scratches covered by insurance, just check when returning the car.
Excellent- helpful counter staff at check-in, and when the car I expected was not there this was sorted out very swiftly and I ended up with a different car, which was (to my eye) a better car all round anyway so no delay and a happy customer.
I misunderstood the cost of the advance toll fee coverage at the pick up desk, (the fee for which seems poor value to me) but I was able to delete it later by visiting a different local branch where it was sorted almost instantly. Although I could not effect this over the phone the lack of fuss otherwise over this did impress me and I will likely put Budget at the top of my list for a future hire.
Handing the car back was also disarmingly slick and efficient. Incidentally, I returned the car brim-full but nonetheless the fuel gauge showed 'almost-full', nobody quibbled so another brownie point for lack of drama there.
All told a better experience than I expected and I suspect that was not just good luck.

QEEQ did a good job- my brother booked a car at the same time directly with a different company and I think I had a better deal- better car, better price, but I won't rub it in!
AVIS gave us a Passenger Van that broke down suddenly on the morning of 25-12-2025 in the mountain of Bryce Canyon, Utah. AVIS left us stranded in a cold place. We had to seek the assistance from the Park Rangers to transport my family of & and luggage down to the town centre in Bryce Canyon. AVIS did not offer an immediate replacement vehicle. We had to find a hotel on our own for the night. The next day, we had to seek help to find transport from Bryce Canyon to Las Vegas. The costs of transport was exorbitant at USD1,500-00 due to a long distance as the taxi had to come from Cedas City (95cmiles to Bryce Canyon) and from Bryce Canyon to Las Vegas (265 miles). AVIS has a branch in Cedas City, Utah but was not willing to offer an replacement vehicle or offer any temporary transport to Cedas City. We had not only had to pay the taxi fare ($1,500.00) and hotel (about $276) but also lost almost 2 days of tour time.
AVIS did not even offer ANY ASSISTANCE on our ordeal. When we requested on numerous times for the reimbursement of taxi fares & hotel costs, AVIS only offer 3 days rental on next visit and $100 after appeals.
When we return the van to AVIS in San Francisco Airport, we met the Manager, Ms Autumn Post, who promised us that she would look into our reimbursement requests. We emailed on 2-1-2024 to Ms Autumn, detailing our ordeal and receipts of taxi fares & hotels, until now, we have yet to hear from Ms Autumn. We felt disappointed and angry with the very poor service standard by AVIS.

QEEQ only offered assistance on our request for the reimbursement after we return the van. So far, no news from QEEQ. I supposed the service standard from QEEQ is equally poor as AVIS..
There was a lot of pressure from the counter staff on pickup to buy extras, such as insurance and toll passes. When you are tired and do not know the rules it is easy to be taken advantage of,
The front desk staff provided excellent service, but the quality of the vehicle didn't meet my expectations compared to previous experiences. The first car I was given had over fifty thousand miles on it, and the exhaust pipe got loose on the second day, causing a lot of noise. I had to go to another city branch to change the car, but they could only offer a smaller category, from a mid-to-large size SUV to a compact SUV. The Buick Enclave was switched to a Kia Sorento, and all the luxury features were gone. The electric ventilated and heated seats were replaced with manual cloth seats, which had more than twenty thousand miles. This wasn't a big issue, but at 70 miles per hour, the front wheels vibrated, and braking caused the whole car to shake. It felt like there were problems with the wheel balance and brake discs. I had to endure it for another 15 days until returning the car in Los Angeles. This was something I had never experienced with Hertz before. It seems the three-year pandemic has significantly impacted the quality of rental cars. I plan to switch to a different rental company like Alamo or Avis in the future. Overall, this experience was disappointing, I wasted money on an unworthy car, and I would advise others to choose their rental company carefully.
