Highly satisfied, no forced insurance upselling. A deposit of 200 euros was taken, and it was refunded immediately after the car was returned, with no extra charges.
The pickup and drop-off process took a long time, the location was hard to find, and the shuttle bus to the airport ran infrequently, nearly causing me to miss my flight!
I rented a Nissan Qashqai but was given a Volvo XC40 instead. It's a much bigger car, and it's also brand new with only 2000 km on it. Very nice! It was very spacious for the four of us. We added full insurance at the car rental office, and the price was acceptable. Returning the car was also quite simple.
The pick-up process was smooth, but I almost got scammed during the return. Here's a reminder for everyone:
1. During pick-up, you need to get a number and queue up, so it's best to go early. This place shares the same location as Avis; they asked if I wanted to purchase insurance, but I declined since I had already bought it, and they didn't try to upsell further. To get the car, you need to walk to the P3 parking lot. The staff kindly pointed me in the right direction, but I still couldn't figure it out and wandered around for a bit. Eventually, I asked a parking lot employee who directed me to the correct place. Picking up the car was relatively smooth; it wasn't the model I reserved, but I didn't mind as long as I had a car. It was a new vehicle with less than 1,000 km driven. The staff confirmed it was full of fuel, and when I started it, the fuel gauge was full, showing 520 km.
2. Returning the car was where the issue arose. When I picked it up, I took photos and videos of the entire car, including the dashboard. At return, the fuel gauge was full, showing 570 km. However, the first staff member did more than just check this; they accessed the car's smart display and claimed I had driven an additional 60 km after refilling, meaning the tank wasn't full. They said I either needed to go to a nearby station to refuel or pay €35.15 for the missing fuel. This was unacceptable to me. How could 60 km cost that much in fuel? And this process seemed unreasonable—why only use the dashboard to confirm the fuel level at pick-up but then rely on the smart display during return? I immediately called QEEQ customer service to explain the issue, staying on the line for about 20 minutes. QEEQ's team told me to hand the phone to their staff to clarify. The initial employee was busy with other customers, so a second staff member took the call. He seemed unaware of the problem, so I briefly explained and showed him the dashboard photos I took at pickup. After checking the car again, he stated, "I think there's no issue with the fuel; you're good to return it." He inspected the car for damages, found none, accepted the return, signed off, and refunded my deposit immediately! What a surreal experience. Thankfully, I stuck to my position from the start. Everyone, take note: Make sure to take photos of the fuel gauge, and if there's a smart display, ask staff upfront which measure is considered definitive.
The store is located very close to the train station and easy to find. Procedures are straightforward, but there is upselling; you can simply decline. You need to take the elevator to the underground parking lot on level -3 to locate the car yourself. When returning the car, the store conducts a strict inspection and appears somewhat unreasonable. Old damages on the car require proof with photos taken when picking up the car, and the photo's date must also be checked.
The service was excellent. We couldn't find the floor to return the car, so the staff took us to the fourth floor and drove the car to the return point. Although there was a language barrier, they were very nice, and communication was smooth. The service was thorough and considerate. Highly recommended, every step was flawless.
I rented a car in Madrid and picked it up in the city center. They neither mentioned in the contract nor told me verbally that the car did not have an A-class environmental badge, which meant it could not be driven in the entire city center. As a result, I unknowingly entered the restricted area and received a penalty fine. The rental company should bear full responsibility for this.
