    I was travelling from India with 2 old age people and 1 infant and I booked car to pick up from Sydney airport and drop off at Canberra. Actually I have booking through qeeq website and when I booked at that time I don't have any physical card or neither anything mentioned about it on website. So when I went to Sydney airport to collect the car the staff member told me he need physical bank card according to their policy . I explained my whole scenario but he didn't convinced. One of my friend with me who having licence and bank card with him but still the staff member has denied to tranfer that booking on his name. He told me to rebooking again which is cost me additional huge amounts. So finally I have to called my friend to get my bank card from Canberra and delivered to sydney airport. When my friend came with the card they don't have any car available and they arranged from domestic airport after wasting another 1 hour. So totally I have wasted a lot of time and money. I don't understand that if I have my licence with me, then what is the meaning of physical card and I told them i will pay through tap on by using the same account. And If physical card is that much important then why they allow to book through website? In some case I think they should also have to understand. They can transfer the car on my friends name but for some extra money they didn't. I will never use this services again.

    We had some language communication barriers, which made the pickup process take a bit longer, but the car was great to use. The service was excellent. I will definitely choose this company for car rentals again in the future.

    Went when it was pretty quiet so there was no line at all. I compared a bunch of rental companies online and ended up going with Thrifty. Everything went really smoothly, the car in the same class was great, and both the price and service were genuinely good. No hard selling, staff attitude was fine, and the rates were reasonable. I’d definitely consider using this company again next time.
