About QEEQ:8.0/10
I was not provided with an Outlander as originally promised. Europcar pointed out that the vehicle classification in the booking is "Small SUV" and booking and gave me a Mitsubishi ASX. I therefore had to pay an additional NZD$480 to get the Outlander. This is the first time I have had an issue with a Qeeq booking
The queue at Europcar was very long. In fact, it was the only hire car company with a queue. There was only one person working the counter so, it took almost an hour and we were third in the queue. The staff were friendly but, there was no urgency at all. To be fair to the staff, upon return, I left my mobile in the car. When I went back to retrieve it, they had it at the front desk. This was a big positive. In addition, I believe this is the first time I received the exact car that I was told I would get. This is also positive.
“Europcar experience was very good. QEEQ experience was terrible. I will not use them again.”
About Europcar:10.0/10
The Europcar Interational terminal was understaffed causing a queue of customers who had to wait for a hour.
We were sent to the Domestic terminal Europcar branch because QEEQ had booked the wrong terminal.
The domestic terminal staff were very helpful, even staying after closing time to ensure we were served.
They kindly gave us an upgrade because of all the trouble we had gone through being at the wrong terminal
If there are multiple drivers, an extra $8 per person per day is required. Also, parking needs to be prepaid; otherwise, fines can be significant. The vehicle was spacious and relatively new. We traveled from the North Island to the South Island for 11 days and used just over two tanks of fuel. CarPlay was very convenient, and there was no need for an additional phone holder. QEEQ and Europcar coordinated seamlessly, and pickup was quick. The only downside is that claims require upfront payment and reimbursement later, though luckily, there were no costs incurred this time.
Your office open hours is until 2AM. In some cases it's crucial! If you supposed to be open till 2AM, you have to be open until 2AM without any exceptions.
About QEEQ:10.0/10
Following the public information about Europcar open/close hours, they should be open until 2AM. We came to counter an 1:20AM and they told that we are very lucky because the office is going to be closed at 1:30AM. Didn't get the reason.. Some kind of renovation in the area and they close the area earlier. This mean that we had a good chance to spend the night at the airport in the case we spent a little bit more time at New Zealand biosecurity.
I had previously rented directly from this company. While they do promote additional services, I personally had no issues with my experience. It was pretty good.
NEVER AGAIN EUROPCAR!
They are saying we returned the car damaged. But we didn't. Anyway, they charged us more than 2000NZD 3 weeks later!!!!
Calling them didn't get me anywhere as they only had the information "it's damaged". Sorry. The department responsible for this is not available.
