Happy I choose QEEQ

This Chicago location is run jointly with Avis. Firstly, there are no clear signs indicating that members should go to the second floor while non-members stay on the first floor, so I wasted an hour in line. The funniest part is that I then waited another hour and a half on the first floor because all the cars were rented out and they were waiting for returns. I landed at 2 PM and didn't get the car until almost 5 PM.

The process was very fast. No sales pitches were made. After checking the passport and the international driving permit, I got the keys in 5 minutes.

My previous experience renting from Budget was fine; there weren’t many people in line, and the overall situation was relatively good. This time, the line was much longer, almost reaching the door, and we waited for nearly an hour. They initially gave us the designated car, but we couldn’t find it after searching for a long time. When we asked an employee at the pickup location, he said the car wasn’t available even though it was clearly the one reported to the counter via the radio. For some reason, that car had been taken. We had to go back to the counter to talk. After waiting for the counter staff to finish assisting other customers, they offered us a replacement car. However, when we started it, a yellow light on the dashboard indicated an issue. We found the same employee again, and he said the light was faulty and told us to go back to the counter to get another car. On our third trip inside, the line was still extending to the door, and then we found out there were no more cars available of the size we booked since many people had reserved full-size cars. We waited and waited, but no one from the rental company offered us an upgrade. Eventually, they said they had a Chevrolet Malibu available, but it needed to be washed first. We waited for another hour before finally getting the car, spending a total of two hours, the longest I’ve ever spent renting a car. Because of this experience, I might not rent from them again. Additionally, I discovered another problem: the EZPass in the car didn’t work when passing through toll roads, so we had to pay cash, worrying about fines and whether Budget would charge additional service fees. Later, when we returned the car, the counter staff assured us there would be no fines or service fees, but I’m still unsure what will happen.

Everything was good in most aspects, but I was really frustrated. My husband didn't bring his own credit card, and BUDGET is the only company that doesn't allow multiple drivers under one card. Rent Rent Car didn't know about this rule, so I ended up driving over 2000 kilometers by myself. As a woman who has never driven for so long and was supposed to be on vacation, I almost cried. It seriously impacted my holiday mood and I was constantly unhappy and exhausted.

when i returned the vehicle there was only one staff. that's why i had to wait more than 10 minutes to drop-off. i think there should be more staffs because so many customers including me are supposed to be racing to the airport.
