Objectively speaking, their communication with us before picking up the car was prompt and detailed. They added us on WeChat and explained the pick-up details clearly, which was very satisfactory. However, their response when an issue arose was terrible. We had purchased full insurance, but on the morning we were to return the car and catch our flight, the car wouldn't start! Note that we hadn't used the car the day before and had specifically checked all the lights and everything when we parked it. The most likely cause was a dead battery! Of course, we didn't have proof that the lights were turned off. What I want to point out is that when this issue occurred, we immediately contacted the rental company for help, but the insurance company's personnel never showed up. Due to our urgency to catch the flight, after waiting for an hour and negotiating with the rental company's customer service, we decided to leave the car and take a taxi to the airport, which cost us an additional 2547 for roadside assistance. We had no choice because we were in a hurry. It turns out, the insurance company personnel who supposedly were coming an hour earlier, hadn't even left by the time we took the taxi! I was really furious. We wasted an hour waiting, nearly missed our flight, and still had to pay for roadside assistance. The whole point of having full insurance is lost. Their handling of the situation was utterly disappointing.
I rented a car in Phuket from July 25th to 28th and extended for another day on the 29th. The store was easy to find, marked with a purple YESAWAY sign, and the process for picking up and returning the car was quite convenient. However, I booked a Nissan Sunny online, but was given another Nissan model, AMLERA, which was quite old and had driven over 100,000 kilometers. When I picked up the car, I was informed that it had a 1.2L engine, which is relatively small. Given the hilly and mountainous roads in Phuket, I asked the staff how a small-engine car would fare. They assured me it would be fine and that even with six people it could handle the climb to the Big Buddha. So, I took the car. However, the uphill roads from Phuket Airport to Phuket Town and Patong Beach were numerous and steep, and even with just my family of three (my 12-year-old child is not heavy), the car struggled significantly. It was really difficult to climb the longer, gradual slopes, which made me feel the car wouldn't make it. Phuket's roads are narrow with only two lanes, and the car could only go a few miles per hour uphill, while motorbikes zoomed past us. It was too hard. One day we planned to visit the Big Buddha, but the car couldn't make it up the steep hill. It stopped in the middle, and even started to roll back a bit, which was terrifying. I had to brake and slowly turn around to go back down. This car really disappointed me. Other than that, everything was fine, but you definitely need to rent at least a 1.6L car in Phuket, otherwise, it's not feasible.

About QEEQ:9.0/10
Booking was super easy and everything is well explained. I would recommend users to go for the all inclusive super offer with all insurance provided by Easy rent cars as with the basic one you have to buy insurance from the car company which may turn out to be expensive
