Before picking up the car, you can contact them via WhatsApp. They will send pictures to guide you to the shuttle bus location at Bari Airport. Upon arrival, the customer service is very good. They also offer to upgrade to full insurance on-site. I spent around 250 euros for four days. It's not cheap, but in Europe, it's better to pay for peace of mind.
This is a dishonest company that sets traps throughout the process to make you fall into them. Fortunately, I bought full insurance from Zuzuche, so I wasn't worried, but it was still bothersome dealing with these people. They will tirelessly pitch their insurance to you and often use phrases like 'the police will do this or that' to scare you. If you don't buy their insurance, they will charge a 1200 Euro deposit on your card as a 'purchase' rather than a 'pre-authorization'. We recorded the entire car pickup process, but at return, they still tried to make us sign a damage report for an old scratch the size of a fingernail on the wheel hub. We argued for an hour and refused to sign, finally achieving justice. Even so, the deposit was not refunded until two months later after communication through Zuzuche's customer service. Although we did not incur any losses, we were very disappointed with how Italians treat tourists. We will be more cautious next time we visit.
It was fine, but they aggressively upsell insurance. Also, there was no Adblue, and they didn't mention it. I had to pay for it myself and then go through the reimbursement process.
Extremely poor service, worst I've ever experienced. Avoid this company!
1. Couldn't find the branch at the airport, the pickup instructions were unclear and inaccurate. The SurPrice branch deliberately did not answer calls and did not pick us up (later said answering calls was not their job, how are we supposed to contact them for a pickup then?). Even QEEQ couldn't reach them. We had to spend over an hour contacting SurPrice's local HQ ourselves before finally getting picked up and taken to the branch.
2. At the branch, they charged a €1200 deposit, but didn't have the Jeep Compass SUV or similar vehicle we reserved. They tried to pass off a small Fiat 500x as the same class, which had a tiny trunk that couldn't fit our luggage. They claimed it was the only automatic car available and had a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. The Italian woman at the branch was extremely rude.
3. Contacted QEEQ customer service, who spoke with the woman but couldn't resolve the issue or offer an alternative vehicle. They suggested we drive the car away and try to exchange it later, which was absurd because our luggage wouldn't fit in the trunk. How would we drive away and expect to exchange the car later?
4. We were forced to cancel the reservation and find another car at the airport, costing us more money and five hours of time, leaving us exhausted and frustrated late at night.
5. This happened on June 17th and as of today, July 5th, I still haven't received a refund. No proactive feedback from them, only responded when I chased them. The €1200 deposit hasn't been returned either, and I'm starting to think this could be a scam.
Be cautious with QEEQ and especially SurPrice. This branch near the airport is particularly suspicious. They could ruin your entire trip!
I'm still waiting for my over 10,000 RMB to be refunded, no idea when this will be resolved. I haven't asked for compensation, just my money back, and it's been a nightmare. This experience has been physically and mentally distressing for me.
No chance to refuse extra insurance
Had to pay twice!
