Self-Driving Trip in Germany: Enter from the North, Exit from the South

An elderly German couple was punctual at the agreed meeting point, both for pickup and return.

The car provided by Caro exceeded expectations with no additional fees. The staff was excellent, answering every question we had with detailed and serious attitudes. However, one car in our group mistakenly used gasoline instead of diesel due to a lack of knowledge, disrupting our trip and incurring high repair costs, which became a major issue for our travel. Upon returning, I carefully read the rental order email and noticed a mention of this issue in the pickup instructions. Honestly, we never expected a small car to use diesel before going to Germany. Years of driving in our home country made us think all small cars use gasoline. If our friends hadn't made this mistake, I wouldn't have known whether we would have made the same error on our first refuel. The thought still worries me! It would be great if the rental staff could spend a minute to show us the fuel type by opening the fuel cap, preventing such mistakes. Therefore, I strongly suggest including a note about fuel type during car handovers, especially in international rentals!

New 3000 km KIA SUV, diesel, 7 liters per 100 km. The run-in period was alright. The pickup was tricky. I informed QEEQ's customer service about the details afterward. The pickup location should be TERMINAL 2 ARRIVAL, P29 parking lot. The guy waited there for a long time, and the shop's phone was unreachable. This wasn't CARO's fault. I hope QEEQ will write down this location clearly in the future to avoid customers waiting. During drop-off, the GPS directed us to the wrong place, and we were an hour late. The staff were great. Couldn't find the P29 entrance; too many one-way streets. Parked at P20 and found the staff there.

The very friendly staff found me a car in excellent condition with only 5000km on it. I drove it for 2000km over 15 days. Great experience!

Caro is not at the airport, you have to wait for their staff at the McDonald's next to T2. There's a gas station next to their office, which is very convenient. The Germans are very meticulous in their work. We rented two cars, and they handled the paperwork for one car before starting on the other, so we waited a long time, but the instructions were very thorough. We reserved a C5, but got a brand new Opel with only 4100 km on it, featuring auto start-stop and lane assist. These features are very important for driving in Germany. The car also has radar systems at the front and back. The condition and performance of the car were excellent, and it had a 6-speed manual transmission.
