Extremely unprofessional staff trying to exploit us during the COVID situation to charge extra for early drop off. ( you read that right , dropping early costs you more than twice the original rental). What’s worst you pay 20% VAT ON THAT
“Good except for Budget €45 airport pick up fee which was not made clear until after we returned.”
About Budget:10.0/10
Was not clearly stated that there was a €45 airport terminal pick up fee during booking and after rental. Was only advised after we dropped the car off.

About Interrent:2.0/10
The local rental company staff had a bad attitude. The rental agreement did not mention that dual-branded VISA or MasterCard credit cards cannot be used. When picking up the car, the staff said only single-branded VISA or MasterCard credit cards are accepted. I contacted the rental company but the local staff refused to help. This is a problem with the rental company, and I could not pick up the car even though I had already paid. Now, the rental company is not refunding my money.
When picking up the car in Innsbruck, Austria, the female staff member insisted that I pay extra for a rental deposit insurance, about 30 euros. When I refused, her attitude became very unpleasant.
Considering this was during a COVID-19 pandemic, everything went pretty smoothly. I only have three small remarks: the inside of the car wasn't clean, the blue chip they asked us to return was taken by the parking machine right on our way out (at pickup) and I still haven't received my deposit back. I assume this is due to the fact the drop-off was done contacless, so it'll take them a bit more to check things.

About GLOBAL rent a car:10.0/10
Since the store didn't accept Visa cards with a UnionPay logo, our original reservation couldn't be completed. We rented two station wagons and encountered the same issue. Luckily, the third person in our group had a single-currency Visa card and also had a driver's license and translation booklet. The rental company managed to arrange an 8-seater Ford van for us instead of the two cars, accommodating all seven of us. We rented the car directly at the counter.
We had a lot of luggage, so it was a bit cramped, but at least we could hit the road. Otherwise, our planned self-driving trip for the next ten days would have been disrupted.
The staff at the car rental company was very patient and friendly and took two hours to sort everything out. After negotiating with QEEQ, and with a written statement from the car rental staff, QEEQ agreed to a refund because it wasn't specified that dual-currency cards wouldn't be accepted. Although it took some time to communicate after returning home, QEEQ fully refunded me in the end.
Considering this experience, I will choose QEEQ again next time. I also advise everyone to have a single-currency card ready.
Besides credit cards and debit cards, now you can pay for online car hire with cryptocurrency in 2020. Bitcoin(BTC), ethereum(ETH), and bitcoin cash(BCH) are accepted. Wonder how long does a bitcoin transaction takes and how to pay with bitcoin? Read our FAQs.
