After the contract amount was confirmed, an extra charge of over 100 dollars was mysteriously deducted. Although the overcharge was refunded a few days later after I raised the issue with Zuzuche, the store never provided any explanation or apology. The experience was not great!

The car looked fine. However, while driving on mountain roads, the brakes made a strange noise, and the accelerator stopped working. Luckily, I was close to the destination and barely made it to the parking lot. Otherwise, the consequences could have been serious.

In Italy, there are no hidden charges, but in Geneva, there are hidden charges. They require additional insurance for cross-border travel, costing 11 Swiss francs per day. Avis policies vary by location.

The car was new. The counter staff greeted well, and pickup and drop off was quick. During the 3rd day of the journey, the tyre burst, but Qeeq/Europcar swiftly responded to my call and dispatched roadside assistance and made sure everything, including the full refund was issued by the insurance timely. Best services and support. I will always use Qeeq in the future due to their cheapest price and wonderful support.

After the car accident, both the car rental platform and the rental company shirked responsibility. I had no choice but to passively accept and bear the additional costs during the rental period. Both parties provided completely contradictory feedback, which is unacceptable. It has been two months, and the issue still hasn't been resolved.

10Great but

I wish they had a larger fleet of automatic vehicles. Since I only drive automatic cars, I was given a very small car, which was not what I originally booked. Although it was considered an upgrade, it was really disappointing to receive a mini car instead of the SUV I had reserved.

Picked up the car from the Zurich city center branch. The front desk staff, who was Indian, was polite and didn't push for additional insurance sales. The actual car provided was the new model Polo as reserved, with only 5,000 kilometers on the odometer. It had high-end features like adaptive cruise control, heated seats, and CarPlay. Fuel consumption on the highway was around 4.6-5L per 100km, and it runs on gasoline. I would consider renting this car again next time.

The rental company offers a 24-hour hotline with services like towing for 8 Swiss Francs per day. However, when I called, no one answered. This was the only number to call in case of issues. The Europcar front desk explained that this hotline is outsourced to another company, and they don't know why this happened.

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.
