Mr. Nathan Nunez (alias) is a Canadian traveler. He planned a short drive in Bilbao Spain. He picked up the car around midday on April 17 and returned it around midday on April 20. The rental was with Centauro and the car was a Volkswagen T Cross with automatic transmission.
After the trip he received a damage claim for 220 euros. He had already reported the case and uploaded the evidence. The main problem was that the insurer needed one more detail before they could pay. They asked which currency he wanted for the payout. Without that answer the claim could not move forward and the customer could not know when he would get his money.
After the request came in QEEQ checked the booking and the claim notes first. Then the agent reviewed the files the customer had sent to make sure the claim amount and the incident report matched. On the same day QEEQ sent a clear question to the customer to confirm the payout currency. Once the customer replied that he wanted CAD QEEQ relayed the answer to the insurer and asked them to confirm the next step. Later that day the insurer confirmed the payout in CAD and QEEQ passed this confirmation back to the customer in plain terms.
In the end the claim was approved and the customer had a confirmed payout path in his home currency. The follow up removed the back and forth and kept the process on track. For travelers the practical takeaway is simple. Keep the rental agreement and return paperwork. Take photos at pickup and return. If a claim is filed answer insurer questions in one message when possible and state the payout currency early to avoid delays.
A damage claim after a trip can feel uncertain especially when the renter is already back home. A small missing detail like payout currency can pause the whole process and leave the traveler waiting without a clear timeline. This is where coverage matters more than promises.
