The short version

Based on 113 Google reviews after exclusions (about 107 with text), most from 2024 to 2025, this desk draws many complaints about pressure to buy its own insurance, disputed damage or cleaning charges, debit-card surcharges and long waits. A minority of travellers report smooth rentals, fair prices and prompt deposit release. Only a few text reviews date from the last 12 months and web evidence is mixed and mostly undated, so the recent picture is thinner than the overall one.
