8 - "On the first day, after passing through an unavoidable muddy pothole, the car's mudguard fell off while driving. The company assisted with a replacement car without any hassle! Unfortunately, at the time of the replacement and when returning the car after a week-long trip, they did not inform me of any subsequent charges. Fortunately, the repair cost was just over 3,000 TWD, and the rental platform fully reimbursed me!"

10 - "Overall, it's pretty good, but the car pickup process took quite a while. It took about 40 minutes to complete the procedures and another 20 minutes to pick up the key from the back. However, the return process was quick, and there were no unexpected charges. I forgot to bring my physical Chinese driver's license this time, but I successfully picked up the car using the translated version of my electronic driver's license from the 12123 app. Photos of the Chinese driver's license are not accepted, so I advise everyone to be mindful and always carry the physical driver's license whenever possible."

2 - "It was a terrible experience, we had to pay in even though we paid the whole rental fee through QEEQ, the car we received was an “upgrade” from them but it was in fact smaller, dirty, smelled and had stains on the seats. They did not even find our booking and didn’t take our booking confirmation email from QEEQ as proof. "
