Expert Tips for a Flawless Experience

Arriving on a Late Flight?

Always ensure your correct flight number is included in your QEEQ booking. This informs the rental company of your arrival time and guarantees that a staff member will wait for you, even if your flight is delayed.

Understand Your Fuel Policy

Most rentals operate on a "full-to-full" fuel policy. This means you receive the car with a full tank of gas and are expected to return it full. Confirm this with the agent to avoid any unexpected refueling charges.

Inspect Your Vehicle

Before you drive away, take a few minutes to walk around the car and inspect it for any pre-existing damage, such as scratches, scuffs, or dents. Use your smartphone to take photos or a short video of the car's condition. Make sure any existing damage is noted on the rental agreement's vehicle condition report before you sign it.
