Extremely poor experience. I was attended by a Chinese staff member when renting the car in Melbourne. I confirmed the return details multiple times, and she emphasized twice that I only needed to return the keys and nothing else. I purchased all the recommended insurance for safety, but she told me I didn't buy roadside assistance. Later, QEEQ confirmed that roadside assistance was included in the full insurance, and I ended up paying an extra 25 AUD due to her misleading information. QEEQ mentioned that the personal insurance I bought through them wasn't visible to HERTZ, which was odd, especially since the Chinese staff member claimed I had purchased all other insurance except roadside assistance. When I returned the car at Adelaide airport, I provided the final refueling receipt, and the tank was full. The staff there just let me go. However, they deducted a pre-authorized amount of 168 AUD on the same day. I immediately called QEEQ, but they were confused too. Four or five days later, QEEQ sent me a HERTZ invoice charging 306.91 AUD, claiming the car was dirty with sand, requiring a steam clean for 180 AUD. We were five women on a road trip, and we kept the car clean, sweeping it daily. How could there not be sand on the Great Ocean Road? Why didn't they mention any of this when I rented the car? They also charged mysterious management fees and service fees! This is clearly extortion! I complained to QEEQ again, but they told me to wait. Eventually, HERTZ deducted the money directly, and QEEQ provided no solution even after a month. It seems they washed their hands off once the money was deducted! I'm utterly disappointed with both QEEQ and HERTZ! Future renters, think twice...
The Hertz service was excellent, very detailed and attentive. The staff in Melbourne recommended additional services based on my situation, such as upgrading the car for $5 a day or prepaying for toll roads. These services depend on personal preference though.
Customer reception was a little dodgy. I was pressured to pay for an upgrade. The company didn't actually have the compact vehicle I had booked, but did not disclose this. I persevered with my booked smaller vehicle and the company rep had to admit that they could only supply a larger vehicle (for no extra cost). The vehicle also had some cosmetic damage that was not disclosed. I had to take my own photos to prove to Hertz that the vehicle had some damage that their own pre-rental inspection did not show.
