5Not good

The car they gave me was too large for narrow Majorca roads. The check in process was laborious with the staff giving misleading information in order to try to get me to take insurance (I already had excess insurance). I will never use Record Go again!

10I wish all car hire experiences were as smooth as this one.

Had a mechanical problem with the car, no one’s fault. One phone call and the switch to a different vehicle was arranged.

10Recommended.

The car met our expectations. The staff is friendly but still try to upsell their insurance. They blocked my cc for €2000 since I didn’t take their insurance but I had no problem when returning the car.

6Good price, slow p8ck up, but no other problems

Very good price, decent car and easy drop off. Pick up took a very long time though even though is was off season, about 1.5 hours from clearly passports to having the car.

10Overall recommended but some stressful aspects

Staff were helpful. It was not clear that car hire was not based at the airport and the directions for the bus were not accurate so we wandered around the airport searching for a while and then had a 20 min wait for a bus. Unsure if this is a QEEQ or Budget issue.

10Ok

Car was very underpowered for a 5+2 We also unfortunately had a flat tire and there was no tire weld or spare wheel in the car as we were on our way back to the airport, which was very frustrating and could’ve made us miss our flight

Frequently asked questions

Q1.What is an insurance excess?

The excess is the amount you'll only be liable for in case of damage(under Collision Damage Waiver) or theft(under Theft Protection) of the vehicle.
Information about the excess will be clearly stated in the price inclusion when you reserve a car on QEEQ.

Q2. How can I add an addtional driver?

You are advised to make a request upon your arrival at the rental counter. Additional charge per day will incur unless '1 Additional Driver Included' is stipulated on the rental.
Please note that the same licence and age requirement applys to the additonal driver. The addtional driver is supposed to present the required licence document along with the main driver at pickup.

Q3.What if I want to pick up or drop off my rental car out of office hours?

QEEQ will show you the car offers available at your chosen time on the search results.
However, pick-up or drop-off out of general opening hours may subject to an extra fee unless self-service pick-up or drop-off is available.
After you reserve a car on QEEQ, we will inform you of specific policy of the car hire company by email.

Q4. Can I take the hired car to another country or cross border?

If you want to pick up your car in one country and drop it in another, your search results will show you cars you can do that with.
If you're planning to cross any borders during your trip, bear in mind:
1. You may have to pay more.
There are often extra fees, taxes or additional cover you'll pay at the car hire counter.
2.It may not be allowed.
Depending on where you're hiring, you may not be able to take your car to another country.
Please email us if you want to take your hire car into a different country during your trip, and we'll talk you through your options.

Q5. Can I pick up my car at one location and return it at different location?

Yes. You can pick up the vehicle in one place and drop it off in another. An ‘one-way fee’ will incur. Whether it is inclued in the rental price or what additional cost may arise will be clearly stated at the time of booking on QEEQ.
Please inform the car hire company of your drop-off location when you pick up the vehicle or contact them directly during your trip. You will find a phone number on the rental agreement you signed at pickup.
