Terrible pick up, easy drop off.

About Thrifty: 6.0 /10
Plane landed on time at 20:10hrs. Then it took us over two hours to clear immigration! There were 50 immigration stations, but only 7 in use. 4 x American passport holders, 1 x for wheelchair/families with young children, only 1 x for the approx 900 other passengers! Collected our bags and made our way to the Car Rental bus stop. Short journey to the Thrifty/Hetz/Avis office. The Thrifty person (from India) informed me that they had no cars...and to "come back tomorrow"! I informed him that I had pre-booked a rental and expected him to supply me with a car. He argued with me and kept saying he had no cars left. I showed him the rental voucher from QEEQ. I had great difficulty understanding what he was saying because his english was very poor. In the end he 'borrowed' a car from Hertz and transferred it onto the Thrifty rental. Several times he kept on trying to get me to add more insurance to the rental cost, even though I showed him my AXA insurance document. I added my son as an additional driver and the charge came to $231 (£174) for 15 days! He then tried to charge me for an EZpass for toll roads. The whole rental experience with this person at the Thrifty desk at Dulles Airport was terrible. I feel I have been conned and over charged. I went onto the Thrifty website and a few other people have had bad dealings with this person.
About QEEQ: 8.0 /10
I chose QEEQ because I thought I would be saving money on car rentals. This has nothing to do with QEEQ...but maybe they could inform Thrifty about their employee at Dulles Int Aiport (Wash DC).

Thank you for choosing QEEQ and for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for any confusion caused by your purchase of insurance at the counter. It has come to our attention that you had already acquired AXA insurance through our website, rendering duplicate coverage unnecessary at the counter. To avoid any superfluous expenses, we kindly request that you present the AXA insurance letter when collecting the car to decline any additional protection. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Once again, thank you for recommending us and we eagerly anticipate your future return.

The store isn't very big, and the shuttle bus is shared with Dollar, but the service was good.

No problem at all. I’ve rented with thrifty before they’re a good company.
About QEEQ: 10.0 /10
I was very happy with QEEQ- i’ve never used them before and was a little concerned because some of their writing is in poor English. They should get a proper English speaker to go over their material. But their price was the best and their follow up with the emails was excellent. I hope to use them again very soon.
