The reception service was very slow because the elderly staff kept chatting with my friend, taking half an hour to complete the process. Upstairs, it took quite some time to find someone for the car keys. Returning the car was much quicker, just a quick scan and we were done. However, I discovered later that an unexplained charge of over $250 had been made!
Lovely car - was very happy to be driving a hybrid - a Ford Fusion. Handled really well and very comfortable. Counter staff were very helpful. It was busy so I had a bit of a wait but not too bad - I was out of there in 15 minutes.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
The booking process was easy - a lot of small print to be read - although I suppose that’s inevitable. I had no other reason to contact them.
“Very well priced with no additional hassles or inconvenience that dealing direct”
About AVIS:9.0/10
Counter staff in San Diego were unable to help with permit for driving in Canada. This was later resolved at Eugene Airport branch within 10 minutes after customer support from QEEQ
I picked up the car on the evening of 9/19 at the San Diego airport location. The customer service representative, a South American woman with long fake eyelashes, forcibly sold me insurance. I said I didn't need it, but it still showed up on the bill. I was just focused on signing and didn't carefully check the details on the screen. Later, I never received any contract, not even by email! Next time, I will thoroughly review the contract before signing! If there were any recordings at the site, I would definitely file a complaint!
Renting a car is quite easy. Just prepare the necessary documents and it takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. When signing the contract, check if there are any extra fees and inform the staff to cancel unnecessary items.
We booked a gasoline car but were given an electric car, a Ford Mustang Mach-E. We were told that for cars under two years old, charging is free. We thought we'd give it a try. The car was new, with just over 1000 kilometers on it. Charging had its challenges; without a U.S. phone number and Apple ID, we couldn't download the charging app. Some fast-charging stations accept credit cards, with a $50 pre-authorization each time. Even a week later, we haven't seen the actual charges, so there are four $50 authorizations, with actual charging costs varying from $20 to $30 each time. Charging did bring some hassle; we had to wait about 30 minutes to an hour each time, and some charging stations require the app to use, making finding a charging station a concern during our trip. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, and we made it to our return destination. In San Diego, we received a 'head-in only' parking ticket, which was missed in our research on car rentals in the U.S., so we remind everyone to watch for head-in parking requirements. Fines for parking violations must be paid as instructed. We followed the appeal instructions but received no response. Contacting the car rental customer service about the charging fees wasn't helpful; we had to contact the charging stations' service numbers ourselves.
