This is one of the only few rental companies at Vienna Airport’s car rental center that still accepts Mainland Chinese driver’s licenses. The whole process was quick and easy, no hard sell on extra insurance, the car was in great condition, and unlike Dryyve they don’t take a deposit upfront, just a pre-authorization. Returning the car was straightforward too.

After they checked my booking details, the staff just briefly asked if I wanted any extra insurance, no hard selling at all. Then they handed me the keys and the pickup slip, explained the basics, and the whole process took barely ten minutes.

The car rental process was efficient, with no insurance upselling or unnecessary troubles, completed in just 5 minutes. Although I was given a car with multiple scratches, the return process was simple—just a quick check and signature to confirm, and the deposit was refunded instantly.

Overall very satisfied. I purchased the QEEQ full insurance, and there was no upselling at the rental company; they just handed over the keys for me to pick up the car. The car had some scratches and minor dents, but they did not affect normal driving. These issues were already noted at the counter when picking up the car, and there were no disagreements during the return process. There was only a minor issue: the day after picking up the car, the tire pressure warning light for the left rear tire came on. I contacted QEEQ, and they provided a solution and assisted in communicating with the rental company. Later, I drove to a nearby rental branch, where the staff briefly inspected the car and said it was fine to continue driving. Not wanting to disrupt my trip, I went on my way. However, the same fault warning reappeared. After a few days of driving, worried about a potential blowout due to tire pressure issues, I found a gas station with an air pump. I inspected and adjusted the tire pressure myself, changing it from the irregular values of 4/4/4/2.1 to the standard 2.5/2.5/2.5/2.5. The warning light finally turned off. However, on the day before returning the car, the same tire pressure warning came on again, meaning the left rear tire likely had a minor air leak. This experience pushed me to learn how to handle tire pressure issues myself—so, in a way, it was a small adventure.
