Surprisingly friendly and efficient, but only once at the location, which was a real pain to get to: shuttle bus to nearby off-airport parking runs only 3 times an hour, which is no good if you're in a hurry.

Counter staff were great - a pleasure to deal with. Car was a bit knackered. Wasn't impressed at waiting 40mins for the shuttle bus from the Airport - for that reason alone I wouldn't use again.

The hiring process was so slow and the condition of the hiring company offices is terrible. I had to wait for over an hour to pick up my car. The staff of this company were so rude. The condition of the car was so bad. There was an engine fault on the car and the guy told me to add some liquid to fix it which I did but the fault remained. The car only had quarter of fuel which so inconvenient. I will never book a car with easirent again. Terrible experience overall.

Customer service very helpful as we needed to change the drop off location to Glasgow. Pick up location a long way from Edinburgh Airport and drop off location was a gas station since it was before opening which was odd.

Very poor service, they don't accept UnionPay cards, had to re-swipe the card for payment! It wasn't for the deposit either! If you only have a UnionPay card, sorry, either don't rent the car or add $1000! Car model downgraded, reserved a Volvo V60, got a Skoda Octavia Combi instead.

They do not accept international credit cards without a chip and push for insurance sales. If you don't have a chip credit card, you must buy insurance to pick up the car.

The website mentioned a shuttle bus, but no one answered the phone after calling for over 10 minutes. When I complained in-store, the manager acted like there was no issue with the phone, blaming me instead.

1. The store is slightly far from the airport without clear directions. 2. They do not offer a paper contract to confirm the items charged. Despite clearly stating that no insurance was needed, they refused to provide a paper contract, forcing us to buy insurance and a tank of fuel. 3. The requested contract has not arrived even after half a month. 4. They charge a huge deposit. 5. Constantly pushing sales.

I recommend buying insurance from the car rental company. QEEQ's own insurance requires you to pay upfront and the rental company also needs a £2000 deposit, which is locked for a long time. I had an accident this time, and fortunately, I thought the deposit was too high, so I bought comprehensive insurance for £200 from the rental company. When the accident happened, I called the rental company directly. It's impossible to reach QEEQ's customer service on the phone. If they charge customers, but can't provide the service, why make it difficult for people abroad?

They kept pushing us to buy insurance until we called the rental company, but still scared us with tales of daily tire blowouts in the Scottish Highlands. When we stated we would return the car with a full tank, they looked displeased, and eventually added an extra driver. The long dispute and refueling extended our pickup time by two hours, but the return time stayed unchanged according to the contract, and reasoning with them was futile.

Although I had purchased full insurance from the rental company and prepared a credit card for the deposit, the staff kept pushing their insurance. Even after showing the English version of the contract stating I had full insurance, they refused to acknowledge it. When they tried to process the deposit pre-authorization, they made mistakes and it showed as failed. However, after calling my credit card bank, I confirmed that the first attempt was successful and had an authorization code. The car rental staff refused to verify this, seemingly forcing me to buy their insurance or they would cancel my reservation! It took two hours to finally get the car, greatly affecting my schedule. The pre-authorization occupied £1250 of my credit limit. Appealing this seems like a long wait. Extremely unsatisfactory!

They didn't recognize the full insurance from the rental platform and charged an additional £80 for roadside assistance, or they wouldn't release the car. Communication with staff member A was difficult, and they didn't answer calls from the rental platform service. It's been nearly a month since I returned the car, and the forced fee issue is still unresolved. Still waiting...
