The renter's bank card had expired, and they used a colleague's credit card to pay the deposit. The rental company forcibly required them to purchase additional insurance, otherwise they were not allowed to pick up the car.

Very good, probably because it wasn't a holiday. There was no queue and the process went smoothly. Bought insurance in the store at a relatively low price, and the vehicle was upgraded to a Toyota CH-R hybrid. Easy to drive and fuel-efficient. No need to clean the car when returning it (it was fairly clean). Really like Hertz!

1. ACC car rental company is not located inside Dubai Airport; both pick-up and drop-off require around a 15-minute wait. The store is approximately 2km away from the airport. 2. They deliver the car to the terminal pickup area, but the rental company requires customers to pay the airport parking fee, about 30 Dirhams. This is the first time I've encountered this situation after renting cars multiple times at Dubai Airport. 3. The drop-off is in a nearby street, and it's impossible to see where the store is located—perhaps I truly couldn't find it. I recommend Zuzuche verify this matter. Someone will drive you to the terminal, but I have slight social anxiety and am uncomfortable engaging with people like this. 4. Although the car I initially chose was accurately provided, its condition was a bit old, and the first day driving it, the dashboard showed a wrench icon indicating maintenance. When I reported this to the rental company, their response was: to wait until the car is returned to conduct repairs... It is indeed quite cheap, and the staff is relatively polite. However, it's a typical business strategy targeting fellow countrymen. From now on, I definitely won't support such businesses anymore unless there are genuine improvements and truthful practices. Please avoid vague strategies.

The staff at this store does not consider customer needs at all. For the second renewal, I still had to go to the location in person. Moreover, they are very unprofessional. I booked again, but they refused to change the car. They also charged additional fees. Most of the vehicles are old models without screens. Please think carefully before renting.

The service was very good, but the car's condition was average. The staff were Chinese and very friendly, reaching out via WeChat as soon as I placed the order. However, the car's condition was not as good as expected. The display screen showed a maintenance or service alert, and the engine noise was quite loud for a car with such low mileage.

The overall process was very convenient, and returning the car was also hassle-free. However, the rental company I chose this time had one major drawback: when picking up the car, they charged a deposit on my credit card but did not process the release upon return. Instead, I had to wait 30 days for the amount to unfreeze automatically. If they had processed the release at the time of return, the refund would have been faster.

Frequently asked questions

Q1.What is an insurance excess?

The excess is the amount you'll only be liable for in case of damage(under Collision Damage Waiver) or theft(under Theft Protection) of the vehicle.
Information about the excess will be clearly stated in the price inclusion when you reserve a car on QEEQ.

Q2. How can I add an addtional driver?

You are advised to make a request upon your arrival at the rental counter. Additional charge per day will incur unless '1 Additional Driver Included' is stipulated on the rental.
Please note that the same licence and age requirement applys to the additonal driver. The addtional driver is supposed to present the required licence document along with the main driver at pickup.

Q3.What if I want to pick up or drop off my rental car out of office hours?

QEEQ will show you the car offers available at your chosen time on the search results.
However, pick-up or drop-off out of general opening hours may subject to an extra fee unless self-service pick-up or drop-off is available.
After you reserve a car on QEEQ, we will inform you of specific policy of the car hire company by email.

Q4. Can I take the hired car to another country or cross border?

If you want to pick up your car in one country and drop it in another, your search results will show you cars you can do that with.
If you're planning to cross any borders during your trip, bear in mind:
1. You may have to pay more.
There are often extra fees, taxes or additional cover you'll pay at the car hire counter.
2.It may not be allowed.
Depending on where you're hiring, you may not be able to take your car to another country.
Please email us if you want to take your hire car into a different country during your trip, and we'll talk you through your options.

Q5. Can I pick up my car at one location and return it at different location?

Yes. You can pick up the vehicle in one place and drop it off in another. An ‘one-way fee’ will incur. Whether it is inclued in the rental price or what additional cost may arise will be clearly stated at the time of booking on QEEQ.
Please inform the car hire company of your drop-off location when you pick up the vehicle or contact them directly during your trip. You will find a phone number on the rental agreement you signed at pickup.
