From La Spezia to the Leaning Tower of Italy

After getting off the train, it was easy to find the rental store using Google Maps. However, the store staff mentioned that the insurance wasn't purchased from them, which took some time to sort out. Now I understand that QEEQ actually deals with car insurance. The insurance provided when renting through the QEEQ platform is actually QEEQ's, which takes business away from the store's insurance. In case of any incidents, the money held on the credit card would be claimed by QEEQ. We didn't have any issues, so I'm not sure how QEEQ's insurance will handle real claims. It's something to keep an eye on.

Great service and a wide selection of vehicles.

Overall a good experience. The only frustration was the insurance upsell to ensure a full coverage. QEEQ did warn about this but should provide the full coverage up front so that Europcar cannot do a further upsell.

What price drop protector? And as per above comment, the insurance cover can be handled better by QEEQ.

The car was of good quality, however a warning light continuously sounded as an oil change/top up was due. The car was not clean upon pick up. Europcar pick up service was a disaster. We had to queue for over two hours just to pick up the car, with no explanation or offer of compensation. There was not an unsurprisingly large amount of people in the queue - rather there were only two members of staff (there were 8 desk areas) who were very slow. This was completely unacceptable and I will not book with Europcar in the future.

No problems with the booking platform

The car had not been properly washed/cleaned after the last hire. No other cars were available.
