The overall process was quite smooth. We didn't get the Hyundai we booked, but a Volkswagen instead, which was still okay. The processing was fast. Customer service asked if we wanted to buy insurance, I said we already did, so they didn't push any further. Communication was fairly smooth. At the store, an €800 pre-authorization was charged to our card. Any fines or additional fees during the rental period would be deducted from this amount. However, I'm not sure how long it will take to process. I forgot to ask when returning the car. It would be great if QEEQ could help track the progress. Another incident was after refueling, the steering wheel locked and we couldn't move it, nor could we shift gears. We were scared, thinking the car was broken. The gas station staff couldn't help and told us to contact towing services ourselves. QEEQ customer service also advised us to contact the rental office. Other drivers at the gas station could only tell us what the dashboard indicators meant but didn't know how to fix it. While preparing to call for towing service, I searched for solutions on Xiaohongshu and managed to solve the problem myself. Almost lost a few hundred euros.

It might have been due to a trade show and the European Championship, but I had to wait in line for 40 minutes. Upgrading to a Tiguan Allspace was indeed more suitable given our number of people and luggage, apart from the higher cost, everything was fine. Adding an extra driver costs an additional 100 Euros.

Very easy to find, the process is very simple, and the service is very enthusiastic.

It was a great car rental experience. We picked up the car an hour early at the airport. The procedure was very simple: show your passport, driver's license, and certification, then pay the deposit with a credit card and sign the contract to get the keys. To our surprise, the original Passat was upgraded to an SUV, a new car with only 1300 kilometers, running on diesel and equipped with navigation. Returning the car was even easier. We handed it over at the designated spot where a staff member checked the car's condition and fuel tank, then it was directly signed off as okay. As long as the tank was full (I refueled within 3 kilometers away), there was no need to wash the car. We drove a total of 2800 kilometers, with a fuel consumption of 5 liters per 100 kilometers and a top speed of 160 km/h (some parts of German highways have no speed limit, but I didn't dare to go any faster). This great experience makes me want to rent a car for future trips as well.
