Finding the Main Car Rental Hub

Once you've collected your luggage and passed through customs in the main arrivals hall of Terminal 3 (T3), getting to the car rental desks is very straightforward.

The vast majority of major car rental companies are conveniently grouped together in one central location inside the terminal. To get there, simply follow the prominent overhead signs that read "Car Rental" and its Spanish equivalent, "Alquiler de Coches."

These signs will lead you to a set of escalators and elevators. The main car rental hub is located on Level -1, which is the basement floor directly below the arrivals hall you are in. Take the escalator or elevator down one level, and you'll find yourself in a large hall lined with the desks of numerous car rental agencies.

In-Terminal vs. Off-Airport: What Your Voucher Says

In-Terminal

Off-Airport

For In-Terminal Rentals

If your voucher indicates an in-terminal provider, you're in the right place! Just follow the directions to the car rental hall on Level -1. Your company's desk will be located there.

Important

Check your QEEQ rental voucher right now. It will clearly state whether your provider is "In-Terminal" or "Off-Airport."

Your Step-by-Step Guide to a Smooth Pickup

Gather Your Documents
Before you even approach the desk, have everything ready. You will need: your valid driver's license from your home country, your passport for identification, a major credit card in the main driver's name (debit cards are generally not accepted for the security deposit), and your QEEQ rental voucher (either printed or on your phone).
Locate Your Rental Desk
Based on your voucher, either find your company's branded desk in the Level -1 rental hall or head outside to the designated courtesy bus stop to wait for your shuttle.
Complete the Paperwork
At the desk, an agent will guide you through the rental agreement. Take a moment to read it. This is the time to confirm the details you booked and ask any questions. Pay close attention to the fuel policy — "full-to-full" is the most common and means you receive the car with a full tank and must return it full.
Pick Up Your Keys and Find Your Car
In-Terminal: Once the paperwork is signed, you'll be given the keys and a parking space number. The rental cars are located in an adjacent parking garage, typically P1. You can access it directly from the rental hall on Level -1 or Level 0. Off-Airport: The shuttle bus will take you on a short (usually 5-10 minute) drive to the company's lot. There, you'll complete your paperwork (if not already done) and be shown to your vehicle.
