Really good experience. The staff at pickup were super nice – they helped sort out the snow chain issue, suggested the best route to take, and even recommended some great places to eat along the way.

Service was good and the staff were quite polite, but the Chicago airport location was way too crowded. I waited over half an hour just to get to the counter.

Had to wait in a pretty long line at Dollar, probably because it was the Independence Day long weekend.

Booked the rental less than 24 hours before pickup and everything was processed super fast. At the counter they only asked once if we wanted the "return with less than a full tank" option—after we said no, they didn’t push anything else. We reserved a Kia K5 but got a Nissan Altima instead, basically brand new with only 126 miles on it.

They told us we needed to refuel within 15 km, so I stopped at a gas station in the city first, but they didn’t have the right fuel. Time was running out so I decided to just return the car and explain. The staff said they could handle the refueling for us. I’d been a bit nervous about it, but their service turned out to be incredibly thoughtful. Thanks to QEEQ for the great experience—will definitely rent again for future trips!
