Very good

Originally booked a full-size SUV online, but they refused to provide one at the counter. They were very firm, only offering a small Dodge mini van. We had four people, three being women, and a lot of luggage. The reasons for booking a full-size SUV were for storage space and safety, as American roads are often either mountainous or desolate. Instead, they gave us a mini van. It was very disappointing. QEEQ's negotiation attempts were futile. The rental company only provided that one type of car. Before booking, I repeatedly confirmed with customer service that a full-size SUV would be available, and I paid in full. The difference in car models was significant. They didn't even offer a basic SUV. When dealing with QEEQ, they suggested alternatives like a Jeep Cherokee or Wrangler, which I would have accepted. After long discussions, the rental company still didn't offer even a Hyundai Santa Fe mid-size SUV. We wasted a lot of time, and my throat got dry from all the talking. We stood awkwardly in the rental office with no resolution. The rental company was very firm, and their manager just watched, making none of the staff willing to help. There was no sense of service, and it disrupted our plans, forcing us to change our hotel reservations.

The pick-up and drop-off process was very simple and convenient. However, there was no electronic toll card, and the first time I encountered a cash only toll lane on the highway, I missed it. When I returned the car, I hadn't received any toll information yet, so I'm not sure how long it will take to charge my credit card. Also, since I was unfamiliar with the nearby gas stations and worried about refueling too early, I opted to let the rental company fill the tank and pay the fee. The service fee of $1 was acceptable, but they charged me $4.8 per gallon, which seemed too high for Chicago compared to the $2.5 I saw later in Dallas.

The car rental company is acceptable. Aside from the average customer service, the process is quite fast.

Clear and efficient service. The car was in good condition and clean.
