The service level was poor—it felt like a scam. The car I booked was clearly a hybrid, but things went downhill during pickup:
1. The first hybrid car they gave me was covered in scratches, overdue for maintenance, and the dashboard showed maintenance alerts. Since I was renting for 12 days and planning to drive long distances, I negotiated multiple times to get a replacement.
2. The second car they provided was also full of scratches. They asked me to take a video, so I did, but it wasn't a hybrid. I had no other option at that point, and to make things worse, it was raining that morning. The handover spot had no shelter, visibility was poor, and I could only hastily record the video.
3. Due to the lack of Chinese-language customer support, I couldn't understand their insurance upselling tactics. I assumed the platform had provided full car damage insurance, but it turned out not to be. The deductible was over €1,300 (about 13,000 RMB), which led to later issues. While driving, I accidentally grazed a curb, slightly scratching the right front rim and tire. The rear right rim also ended up with minor scuffs. There's also a light scratch on the right side of the car, but much milder compared to existing damage. Despite this, the car rental company determined the repair costs themselves and charged me €630 (around 5,000 RMB).
4. After returning the car, I had been told I could get an invoice. The company’s driver offered to take me to a nearby hotel (as my flight back home was early the next morning). However, upon getting in the car, he demanded a €15 tip. When I refused, he insisted on driving me to the airport instead. He claimed there were no taxis available at that time. I asked him to drop me off at the road leading to the hotel—just a few hundred meters away—so I could walk myself, but he forcibly drove us to the airport against my wishes.
“We will not be booking with Noleggiare/Qeeq again. Very poor customer service from start to finish.”
About NOLEGGIARE:8.0/10
Over 40 minutes to collect car.
Insurance that was pre-purchased we were told was invalid so had to pay again.
Card machine would not accept 2 x business credit cards for this payment so had to use personal debit card.
We have attempted to get a refund for the initial pre-purchased insurance but have been told on numerous occasions that the booking cannot be found.
Terrible customer service!

The vehicle was not clean when picked up. The booked car was not the same model when picked up.
