Our flight was scheduled to arrive at 10:50 PM, but the app stated that the counter closed at 11:00 PM. I consulted QEEQ's customer service, and they assured me someone would still be at the counter, so I went ahead and made the booking confidently. To be on the safe side, I chose Hertz, and it turned out to be either good luck or excellent service from Hertz, as someone was indeed there when I arrived at 11:30 PM. The only other staffed counter was Europar. Arriving late had its perks, though. After a brief friendly chat, I was genuinely grateful, as I needed to meet a client 100 kilometers away in Villingen the next day. The kind lady upgraded me to a 20,000-kilometer Alfa Romeo SUV.

Very satisfied, the front desk provided a detailed explanation about the highway toll tickets.

When I arrived in the morning, the store hadn't opened yet. I was the first in line and got everything done in less than three minutes.

The company is very professional and truly deserving of being a world-class car rental company. It was easy to find following the instructions after leaving the airport. Since we crossed the border into Italy, they replaced the Mercedes with a 9-seater Ford. The only drawback was the requirement to purchase comprehensive insurance (originally insurance was included, but it might have been invalidated by crossing the border). The original 10-day rental was 641 euros, but it totaled 1099 euros in the end, which is a bit pricey.

The car was in excellent condition with only about 3000kms on the clock. The GPS was a must have. We only had a couple of issues with the GPS trying to get us to go up one way streets the wrong way. It also put us into ZTL zones. The issue I have with this is that when looking at a GPS on my phone it warned us not to go into these areas.

Easy to book and great service. We were told in the booking that all tolls were covered but this was not the case in Italy and caused a lot of confusion at toll gates.
