The short version

Based on 282 Google reviews kept after exclusions (about 205 with substantive text), experiences at this off-site shuttle desk are sharply split. Many travellers report quick service and good value, but a large share report disputed damage charges, card-rule refusals or higher deposits at the counter, and waits of an hour or more at busy times. Third-party cover and broker bookings appear most often in the dispute reports; document the car carefully at pickup and check card rules before booking.

  • Repeated reports of handovers refused or made conditional because of card rules (card must be valid more than 4 months, no Amex or debit, card in the driver's name) or deposits of €1,700-€2,000 demanded at the desk, sometimes forcing a pricier cover purchase or cancellation.clickrent.eseasyterra.com
