A recurring minority of recent reviews report disputed damage charges, deposits held for weeks, extra costs for travellers without a credit card, a different car category than booked, and cancelled bookings after late arrivals. Travellers should photograph the car thoroughly, check card rules before booking, and plan for the counter's closing time.
