Great customer service on collection and drop off.

The staff member who gave me the vehicle was relatively unbothered about customer service and just went through the motions. Often mumbling through terms and conditions and in particular any additional damage waivers, despite me taking out a full policy through QEEQ so the thrifty policy was not needed.

They always try to upsell you into a different car to the one that was booked.

픽업 카운터 직원은 그다지 친절하지 않았고 전문성도 좀 떨어져 보험 관련 질문에 속시원한 답변을 들을 수 없었습니다. 차에 네비가 장착되어 있냐고 물었더니 그렇다고 했지만 실제론 없었습니다. 하지만 계약한 Hyundai Elantra 대신 받은 Infinity 차는 트렁크가 좀 작은 점을 제외하고는 매우 좋은 차였습니다. 승차감도 좋고 여러가지 안전장치도 있고. 전반적으로 만족합니다.

今回、Alamoでレンタルした車は、清潔感があり、外観や内装の状態が非常に良好でした。カウンターの場所も空港内で分かりやすく案内されており、手続きもスムーズで待ち時間が短く快適なスタートを切ることができました。返却手続きも非常に迅速で、スタッフが車両の状態を確認し、短時間で完了しました。特に、スタッフの対応が親切で質問にも丁寧に応じてくれた点が印象的でした。

Booked through QEEQ platform, applied for a translation in advance, and bought full insurance. At the counter, they only charged a 1-dollar deposit. Reserved a Toyota Corolla, but it wasn't available at pickup. The staff casually pointed to a nearby Hyundai Venue, which was new, and there was no extra charge, so we took it. Full tank on pickup and return. Noticed a scratch on the right door at pickup, took photos according to the guidelines. Return was smooth with clear signage. Rented for 3 days to visit Banff; couldn't make it to Jasper due to the wildfire.

Overall satisfactory, but it seems the insurance bought domestically is not recognized abroad. In case of an accident, you have to contact the domestic platform to resolve it.

1. There was no inspection when picking up the car. There were two paint damages and large scratches on the display screen. I have sent photos to the customer service. 2. I had to pay over 400 CAD additionally at pickup. The receipt shows it as a charge rather than a deposit, and I am unsure what I was charged for. The staff's English was not clear, so I couldn't understand them. 3. I haven't received a refund for this charge yet, so I can't make a final judgment. 4. The actual car delivered was a Kia Cerato SUV, which isn't listed on the platform.

Overall satisfied, but the efficiency here is relatively low; waited in line for almost an hour. The staff kept recommending roadside assistance.

Hidden charges (out of province fee of $50 per day / rental car insurance fee of $10 per day) plus others more than doubled the initial hire fee. Terrible & deceitful tactics designed to gauge the customer without any other option really of changing to another provider. NEVER USE AGAIN!

We expected a Santa Fe; we got a Dodge Durango instead, but no big deal. What was TERRIBLE upon returning the car was that they said we had incurred damages/scratches to the front bumper and they were going to charge us. I did all the driving and we never hit anything. I drove almost all highway miles and parked safely/responsibly. When they first inspected the car they had it parked closely behind another vehicle so they never even inspected the front bumper. Is this a scam? Do they just tell everyone they scratched the front bumper, get money from them, never fix it, park it close to another car during inspection for the next customer? We will dispute any charges. I will stick to a national reputable car rental company from now on; this was so ridiculous and dishonest of them. We did not incur ANY damage to their car; we are very responsible and took great car of the car. They initially got us to choose them with a low rental price, then tried to make up the difference. Not a good nor respectable way to run a business. Hurts them in long run. Expect better.

The car was not ready for pick up and there was an existing stone chip on the wind shield which is scary coz it might break on me specially on the way to a high altitude location at lake louise. However, the counter staff upon drop off was very nice and quick... It was not ACE though its Discount Cars...

Very nice! I initially thought I couldn't rent the car without a translated document. QEEQ's customer service told me how to get a quick translation, and then the rental company helped me print it out, so I was able to rent the car.

There was no Chinese service at both the pickup and drop-off locations. I booked the car for 3:30 PM, but I had to wait at the airport for over four hours until almost 8 PM to get the car. I bought the insurance recommended by the staff, who said that I didn't need to return the car with a full tank. This already made me unhappy. Additionally, they gave me a brand-new car with a very strong new car smell. Especially after being parked and exposed to the sun for a while, the smell inside the car was so strong that I felt nauseous. During our self-driving trip, I didn't dare to close the windows. This rental experience made my family very unhappy during the trip.

Everything was fine and efficient. Only problem is the amount of information you are bombarded with at the hire desk. We made the mistake of paying for fuel in advance instead of filling up ourselves on return of the vehicle. We were told there was a large difference in fuel prices between Alberta and BC, but this was not so.

They didn't have the car I ordered. Offered an alternative smaller car which didn't suit our needs. At first they told me to wait for 20 minutes for the car to arrive but after 2 minutes they give me an upgraded car that they had on premise.

The service was good, there are many counters at the airport so picking up the car was quite fast. However, the car I got was not cleaned after the previous renter returned it.

Overall good and smooth. However, the queue for Avis pick-up was very long. Be prepared for a wait. It took almost an hour during the day. Compared to other rental companies nearby, there was hardly any queue. Probably due to the good prices and high demand.

The car was similar to the Chevrolet Tahoe that we booked. We were given a Jeep Wagoner instead. It was a very big and spacious vehicle for our road trip. The customer service was excellent and smooth on both pick up and drop off. The only issue was the charge for a tank of fuel was a lot more expensive than if we purchased our own fuel.

The car was old & damaged, very disappointing. I was required to call my insurance agency to confirm I had coverage. I have never in all my years of car rentals had to do this. I was very annoyed by this. I needed to extend my drop off time as we were flying and I had a flight change after the booking was made. I was charged an extra day for this 2 hour difference. This is disgusting customer service.

Pick-up was quite smooth, and the staff was friendly. They gave me a new Nissan Pathfinder, said I was the first to drive it, with just over 30 kilometers on it. Returning the car was also very convenient, a quick check and done, even though the car was quite dirty, it was no problem.

We had a terrible experience with ur company. It took over an hour at the counter for the employees to complete the paperwork. We were charged extra for insurance, which we didn’t need as I verified insurance I had covered me in Canada. When we went to return the car they accused me of putting a hole in the back bumper. It took over 45 minutes to convince them I did not do it. They spent a lot of time checking on the computer to see if that car had damage... they could not find it. It was noted on my inspection report, however it was vague and the employees said that was for another area of the bumper... little did they know we had taken a picture of the damage when we picked up the car... it was dated and time stamped... that shut them up. I will never rent from your company again. I have the employees names if you want to document any of this information.

I chose this store because it was cheap, but had to wait a long time for the shuttle. The driving distance was over ten kilometers, and the return address was incorrect. I rented a Jeep Grand Cherokee but never received that model. Instead, previous renters either got a minivan or, like us, a Toyota seven-seater, which was front-wheel drive. After three hours of negotiation, the store clearly said they didn't have any Jeep models. Observing the car returns and the parking lot confirmed there were no Jeeps. The manager lacked integrity. We just wanted a four-wheel-drive off-road vehicle, but they claimed no vehicles were available and asked us to come back tomorrow. However, several foreign customers after us received a Dodge.

When i returned the car, the guy found a miniscule chip in the windshield and a small ding on the hood of the car. I told him that i recalled hearing something bing off the windshield when i was driving but did not see or think anything of it. I did not recall a stone/pebble hitting the roof of the car. I was told that i had to put in an insurance claim. Very disappointed in their customer service.

We didn't actually see anyone from MEX. It turned out that we were renting from 2 brothers I think calling themselves Zoom Rentacar. It was in an off-airport hotel lobby. When I arrived, they charged me about $10/day to take the car out of Alberta to BC. When I complained about this they showed me some sort of boilerplate language on the booking that mentioned taking the car out of Ontario and said that this applied to Alberta also although it never mentioned that anywhere. The inside windshield of the car looked like they cleaned it with a muddy rag. The windshield washing fluid was empty and we had to stop to clean the inside windshield and to buy a gallon of washer fluid, a necessity when driving on winter roads.
