Best deal from QEEQ and best car rental experience with Europcar.

Domestic cars are truly impressive. I originally rented a basic Kia small car at this level, but when picking up the vehicle, I was surprised to find a mid-size SUV from the Chinese brand Chery. The car was quite spacious and had advanced smart features, including lane change assist, lane keeping, cruise control, a large touchscreen with phone connectivity, power seats, and keyless entry.

So easy to book. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again or recommend

Perfect

After returning the car, I handed it over to the staff without any issues. Once I returned to my country, I found out that nearly 10,000 RMB had been deducted from my account. They claimed I didn't refuel the car, and that I had used one car for 11 days when I only rented it for 4 days. I contacted customer service and provided my flight ticket and refueling receipt, which led to a refund of just over 400 RMB for the fuel. When I inquired further, they said it was all insurance charges. How could insurance for a 4-day rental cover 11 days? Additionally, when they deducted the amount from my credit card, a transaction fee was already taken. Even after the refund, I'm still out on the transaction fees, and there's over 9,000 RMB unaccounted for. Is there any chance I would rent from you again?

The pick up process was disgusting. 45 minutes in line after having booked is a disgrace and meant we had to cancel booked activities in Melbourne City. Why I had to stand in line while people who had not booked ummed and ahhed over choices or had to have every said twice due to language barriers is beyond me. Why I had to write on scrap pieces of paper which were then scanned or give details that I had entered under my booking was also staggering. My past rental experiences at all other large airports in Australia have taken 10 to 15 minutes. It was unbelievable. I happened to see the manager in the car park and asked her how this could be, she suggested I join the loyalty programme, nothing about how they can sort the issue inside that was going on. When I suggested having a separate desk for people who had not booked she said this had been tried and did not work as they got served faster thasn those who had booked in the end. How the hell does that happen. There were 5 staff working, if you make just 1 line for those who have not booked then it must become faster for the people who have booked with four people serving them. If there is no one in the non-booked line then that person can also serve a booked person. Where is the reward for booking ahead. This was a monumental clusterfuck that affected the whole day for a group of visitors who had one day to spend in Melbourne. One of the group had to cancel seeing his sister for lunch who he had not seen in 5 years as we had other booked activities to get to. I would not be writing this if this was the way it is in Australia but past experience means I know it isn't and something was wrong with this company office. Further we did not get a Nissan X Trail as requested, we have had the X Trail twice before, and I am aware how that is never guaranteed the Subaru Forrester was nothing on the X Trail. A real disappointment and will not be using Europcar again.

All good

Friendly staff, car in great condition. Way to many entries on the keyboard for the service agent to finalise the paperwork.

Secured a great price for the rental easy online booking process.
