Pro-Tips

Smooth Pickup Experience

A little preparation can save you a lot of time. Keep these tips in mind for a hassle-free start to your trip.

Pickup Tips

  • Have Documents Ready
    Before you get to the counter, have your driver's license, the credit card used for the booking, and your rental confirmation number (e.g., from your QEEQ booking) easily accessible.


  • Inspect Your Vehicle
    Walk around your assigned vehicle and note any pre-existing scratches, dents, or dings on the rental agreement. Take photos with your phone before leaving the lot. Check that the fuel level matches your paperwork.


  • After-Hours Pickup
    If you arrive when your rental counter is closed, your company should have provided specific instructions for after-hours pickup. This often involves using a self-service kiosk or retrieving keys from a lockbox. Clarify this procedure in advance if your flight arrives outside standard business hours.
