Frankfurt-Berlin-Munich-Frankfurt

There weren't many people in the queue in the morning. The staff lady was very considerate and gave me an XC90 (I had originally booked a GLE).

When I picked up the car, there weren't any available, so I waited about 40 minutes. I originally reserved a Volvo V40 hatchback but ended up with a huge Renault Koleos station wagon. In my view, the reserved models don't mean anything; you just get whatever car they have. Maybe it was a free upgrade in terms of cost, but this kind of upgrade made me really nervous while driving. I've always driven small cars at home, and driving such a big car abroad was truly exhausting!

Arriving in Frankfurt full of enthusiasm, I had to walk quite a distance to collect the car, which was a C4 Cactus with a 1.2L gasoline automatic transmission. I had to find it myself in the parking basement. The car had only 8900KM but felt old and small. Upon inspection, I found damage on the side mirrors and hood, suggesting I was being scammed. I immediately reported it and got a yellow tag for the damage. Driving on the German autobahn was a disaster, as the car roared at full throttle for thousands of kilometers over 21 days and couldn't easily overtake other vehicles. It felt like a gardening vehicle suited for an old Frenchman in the countryside. The 1.2L engine lacked torque, making it impossible to climb even small slopes in parking garages. I nearly hit cars multiple times when the car rolled back during refueling. Thankfully, with 20 years of driving experience, I used the handbrake technique to manage. Choosing Frankfurt as an entry point turned out to be a mistake. The rear windows couldn't open, making it very unsafe, especially for female drivers. This car rental was the worst part of our one-month European trip, despite the beautiful scenery and nice hotels. Avoid believing the big companies' promises and free upgrades; Hertz gave me the worst car, and using QEEQ was just a waste of time and money.

Professional service, high efficiency, good attitude, relatively new vehicles, very satisfied!

Booked an automatic BMW sedan for 400+ euros, they insisted it was unavailable and gave me a terrible Ford car, a manual without navigation. Then they offered a tiny Citroen automatic also without navigation. I had no choice but to switch to a Mercedes C180 which cost an additional 30 euros per day. After ten days, they charged another 100+ euros saying it was tax. In the end, I spent over 800 euros. What a rip-off!
