What is an insurance excess?

The excess is the amount you'll only be liable for in case of damage (under Collision Damage Waiver) or theft (under Theft Protection) of the vehicle. Information about the excess will be clearly stated in the price inclusion when you reserve a car on QEEQ.

How can I add an additional driver?

You are advised to make a request upon your arrival at the rental counter. Additional charge per day will incur unless '1 Additional Driver Included' is stipulated on the rental. Please note that the same licence and age requirement applies to the additional driver. The additional driver is supposed to present the required licence document along with the main driver at pickup.

8 - "The rental staff were really friendly. They did try to upsell some extra insurance at first, but once I explained we’d already bought full coverage, they backed off and didn’t push it."

GoByCar
8 - "The rental company was pretty good. They tried to upsell some insurance, but once I said no, they didn’t push it. When I returned the car, they checked it on the spot, confirmed there was no damage, signed everything off within a few minutes, and the deposit was released the next day."

Alamo
10 - "They even gave us a free upgrade, and the pickup/return instructions were super clear, so it was really easy to find everything."
Avis
10 - "Pick-up and drop-off were pretty smooth, but there was no staff around when I returned the car. About an hour later they charged me 1,611 euros, claiming there were scratches on the body. I’m still dealing with the insurance claim now, luckily I had taken out the extra full coverage."
Record Go
10 - "Overall very good. I’d suggest skipping the website insurance and just buying full coverage directly at the counter. It’s a bit more expensive, but you don’t have to leave a deposit of over €1,000."
Niza Cars
10 - "Super impressed overall."
Europcar
10 - "I’ve rented with Europcar a few times now and have driven over 30,000 km safely around Europe with them—couldn’t be happier!"

10 - "Pretty good overall. They do try to upsell you on insurance and stuff, but that’s pretty standard."
OK Mobility
10 - "Everything went really well, communication was smooth and easy."
Europcar
10 - "The guy at the airport was awesome. No hard sell at all, so I really don’t get where all those bad reviews online are coming from. My card had an issue and he patiently waited while I sorted it out. The whole rental process was super smooth."
Alamo
10 - "I told them I needed room for a lot of luggage, and they handed me this huge four-row minivan—way over the top."

Europcar

8 - "When you return the car it has to be completely full, and they only allow up to about 10 km of fuel usage, so you’re basically forced to fill up at a nearby gas station right before drop-off."

Europcar
10 - "Absolutely fantastic"
CLICK RENT
8 - "The rental staff were really friendly and helpful."
OK Mobility
10 - "Each full charge only got me about 120km, which they did mention when I rented the car. Still, it meant I had to recharge almost every two days, which was a bit inconvenient."
Avis
10 - "Excellent service. They recommended an electronic toll pass, basically like ETC, and it worked great—saved us a lot of time at toll booths."
Enterprise
10 - "I booked a Qashqai but ended up with a Peugeot instead. It was a bit smaller inside, but since it was a hybrid it drove pretty well overall."
Alamo
10 - "Best car rental experience we’ve had in Spain. At pickup they clearly explained what size scratch would actually count as damage (anything bigger than a large coin). When we returned the car they immediately sent the final bill showing no extra charges. Everyone was friendly and professional."
Record Go
10 - "Really good overall. They didn’t push the insurance at all, just gave clear reminders, and the staff kept a friendly smile the whole time."
Budget
8 - "Staff were pretty nice, and I’d booked a VW Golf but they upgraded me to an Audi Q2 on arrival, which was a pleasant surprise. The downside was how slow everything was – picking up the car took ages."
Niza Cars
10 - "Very satisfied"
CLICK RENT
8 - "The car itself was in really good condition, with about 25,000 km on it. The only downside was the trunk space – QEEQ said it could fit two 24-inch suitcases, but in reality it only fit one. This is a small local company and they’re quite strict when checking the car on return. I strongly suggest taking photos when you pick up the car, even of very light scratches, so everything is recorded. I did that and just showed them my pickup photos, and everything was fine. The deposit was €1,000, which is on the high side. The only real issue is the deposit still hasn’t been refunded – they said it would take 3–5 days, but it’s been almost 20 days with no update, so I’m just waiting. Other than that, I’m basically satisfied. Note that this company has a mileage limit, but if you’re only driving around the local area, it’s a good option, especially since the price is much cheaper than the big brands."

10 - "The whole registration and rental process was great and really worry‑free. The car looked pretty new on the outside. While I was at the hotel, it got a small scratch, and I was really nervous they’d charge me for it. But when I went back, the staff just told me I could leave, said such a minor scrape wasn’t a problem and wouldn’t affect anything. They didn’t ask me to pay a cent, so all my earlier worrying turned out to be unnecessary."
Avis
8 - "Because of the language barrier, it took quite a while to communicate when picking up the car."
Alamo
10 - "I originally booked a Mercedes A-Class but they upgraded me to an X5 for free. The car was quite new and really nice to drive. The staff were great both at pickup and drop-off, and their English was excellent. Big thumbs up."
Avis
10 - "If 100 is a perfect score, I’d give them about an 88. Overall the service was solid, but there’s one thing I have to point out.
I showed up right on time at 12:00 to pick up the car. They did arrange a same-class vehicle for me (another VW SUV), but when we got to the parking lot they told me the car still wasn’t cleaned and asked me to wait… The problem is, this waiting time doesn’t get reflected anywhere – I still had to return the car at the original time stated in my booking.
After I insisted, the staff on site verbally agreed I could return the car 30 minutes later (important detail: only he knew about this. When I returned the car, it was a different staff member who checked it in, and they just charged me for an extra full day)."
Enterprise
8 - "Had to wait more than 2 hours after arriving at Seville Airport before they finally had a car for me. The car itself was fine, just a bunch of scratches… I took photos of every single one! Staff were reasonably polite and, to be fair, they didn’t push extra insurance on me when they saw I wasn’t interested. They just warned me that a single scratch would cost €1,400, which is insanely expensive – easily the priciest company I’ve ever used. I’m used to paying maybe €300–500 for minor damage. I told them fine, I’ll make sure I don’t give you even one new scratch! The deposit was €300 and it was refunded instantly when I returned the car in Barcelona."
Avis
8 - "Their service is actually pretty cool."
Alquicoche
10 - "Pretty good overall, no complaints."
Budget
10 - "The company felt pretty legit. No hard sell on extra insurance, they didn’t insist on any license translations beyond the original, and they just double-checked I could drive a manual. My Focus got swapped for another car in the same class, but since it only had about 800 km on it, I really couldn’t complain. We did a 14-day road trip around Madrid, Seville, and Valencia with a small manual car for two people, and it was perfect—especially with cheap fuel."

10 - "I book with this company most of the time, their service has always been solid."

Picked it mainly because of their airport branch.

10 - "Everything was great – the car was really new with low mileage, and the whole trip went smoothly."
Alamo
10 - "Pretty sure they upgraded my car, which was nice but it drank fuel like crazy—drove about 250 km and had to spend 40€ on gas."
