Counter staff were professional and helpful. Brand new car, nice and clean, with a very high spec included. Pick up and drop off quick and easy. Very good price for the rental. Would definitely recommend.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
Nice and easy to book, plenty offers to chose from, competitive pricing. Very helpful and I got all the standard and extra information very quick.
the only complaint is the drop off together with all other companies, very crowded and slow with risk to exceed the contract deadline and lose the flight!

“Europcar billed my card without a reason or invoice - although at return everything was ok. BAD!”
About Keddy by Europcar:3.0/10
EuropCar charged after the Rent my credit Card without a reason, an invoice and an explanation. Once I asked them why, they told me to refer to Easyrentcars. But it was EUROPCAR who took money from my card, and this although vehicle was returned properly as certified by the signed protocol I received back when returning the car.
When I arrived, they told me my car model was unavailable. They offered me either a huge 7-seater MVP or an upgrade to a Ford SUV. They said it would only cost 10 euros more per day. Later, I found out that renting it for 7 days was 1,000 RMB more expensive, probably because they didn't tell me about the additional high taxes.
Picking up and returning the car was quite convenient. However, due to the exchange rate conversion between Euros and USD (my domestic credit card is a dual currency card for RMB and USD), Europcar in Paris charged a 6% service fee (over $50) without prior notice. This is extremely dishonest!
Overall, the car from the rental company was quite good, very new and easy to drive. However, there are a few points: First, my order did not include a GPS, but when I arrived at the airport, the staff didn't ask if I needed one and directly gave me a car with a GPS. They printed a receipt on the spot, and I didn't read it carefully before signing. That's my fault, and I ended up paying 66 euros for the GPS. Second, the return process was very quick. We checked for damages and signed off without confirming the mileage, but I took a picture of the odometer the night before returning the car. I only drove from the city to the airport on the return day, so I'm sure of the mileage. However, the rental company claimed the mileage was 200-300 kilometers more than my record, and I was very upset as I couldn't contest it. Since we didn't confirm the mileage upon return and I didn't sign anything, does the rental company just get to decide the mileage? Third, I had to pay a 92-euro fee for picking up the car at the airport. This was not clearly communicated by either the booking platform or the rental company, which was quite disappointing as it was my first time renting a car.
Overall, it was okay. The car was new, having just over 10,000 kilometers on it. The vehicle was in good condition. However, the customer service insisted on adding insurance when we picked up the car. We initially chose the secondary insurance, but they said German roads are narrow and that even if we didn't hit someone, others might hit us. We had to add an extra €198 for insurance. They also recommended more expensive cars like BMW, even though we repeatedly declined. This was quite uncomfortable. The car pickup process took almost two hours, likely because the rental company is small. It might be considered big in Germany. Returning the car took a long time as well since it was hard to find the return location. Most major rental companies are at the train station, but this company's prices were reasonable. In the US, we never encounter such issues. After landing, rental companies are inside the airport, and you can get the car quickly. Germany's process is slightly more complicated. However, returning the car was quick. After handing over the keys, they checked the car inside and out, including the fuel. It was a fast process. Thumbs up for that.
“Mid size SUV not available at pick up and to pay more if I need a SUV”
About Europcar:9.0/10
I was told at the pick up that a mid size SUV was not available and was offered a station wagon instead. Or I can top up to get a VW Tiguan. Staff then offered me a steep discount so that I can get the SUV due to me knee problem in getting in and out of sedans.
As I have booked way in advance and for a decent period of 14 days, the mid size SUV should have been catered
About QEEQ:7.0/10
I diligently checked the pricing 3 times and have to rebook my car to get the reduce pricing. In other words, the price watch mechanism did not worked
I chatted with an Easyrentcars rep and was told that this mechanism needed time to adjust which I find puzzling cos there were times when the reduced pricing have been posted for a couple of days and yet I was not informed
The rental and return process is quite convenient. The vehicle condition is also good, so you can use it with confidence. However, it's best not to change the car model at the counter as the price difference from the app quote can be significant. If there's no car available for an exchange, you can request a similar car without an extra charge.
