The short version

Based on 278 kept Google reviews from the last 8 months (22 excluded; about 228 contain usable text), most reviews are very positive about friendly staff, quick service, a short shuttle and clean cars. However, a recurring minority describe being refused a car over card rules or because the booked category was unavailable, and about 11 report disputed post-rental charges or slow deposit and refund handling. Web evidence is mostly undated or old and is mixed, so treat it as weak support.

What travellers flag

Red flags (5)

Many recent reviews (about 16) report that the booked car category was unavailable at pickup: some were left with no car, others got a smaller or different car, or were pushed into a costly paid upgrade or an unsuitable van, often late at night.
About 13 recent reviews describe pickups refused or blocked over payment-card rules (physical credit card required, mobile or virtual cards, Revolut or debit cards refused) or requests for a return flight ticket. Customers say these rules were unclear at booking, and several groups were left stranded without the car or the prepaid money.
About 11 reviews in the last 6 months report disputed charges after the rental (missing boot cover, minor body damage, fuel, call-out and cross-border fees) or deposits and refunds held for weeks, with slow or no replies. A few were later reduced or refunded.
The desk is off-airport and reached by shuttle, but about 9 reviews say it is advertised as in-terminal, that shuttle pickup signage and directions are poor, or that nobody explained the shuttle step.kayak.com rentalcars.com
Several reviews describe pressure to buy the desk's own insurance, including being told third-party or broker cover was inadequate, contract extras added without clear confirmation, and insurance costs that nearly doubled the bill. Others report no such pressure.
