Based on 292 reviews analysed · Last updated · How scores work

The short version

Based on about 225 Google reviews with text (293 kept after exclusions, plus 56 star-only ratings), travellers often report quick pickup and return, clean cars and fast deposit release. A large and recurring group of recent reviews, however, describe refusals or extra charges of roughly €300-600 at the counter linked to card or licence rules, plus cancelled or unavailable bookings. The web evidence is mostly undated or from OK Mobility itself, so it adds little independent confirmation.

  • Star ratings on review platforms, rescaled against all desks we rate: 4.7 · counts 30%
  • 8 of 300 recent reviews excluded as unreliable (solicited staff praise, other locations, duplicates). How we clean reviews
  • Pulled 10% toward the airport average, because recent reviews are few (138 after weighting by age).

What travellers flag

Red flags (5)

  • Many reviews, including many in the last 12 months, report being refused the car at the counter or asked to pay a large surcharge because of card rules (debit, prepaid, digital-bank, name or initial mismatch, card not in the driver's name) or licence/ID rules (international permit, documents from different countries). Several say no refund followed. Official OK Mobility help pages say only credit cards are accepted for the deposit.okmobility.comdiscovercars.com
  • Travellers frequently describe being told they must buy the desk's own cover or roadside assistance, typically about €300-600 on top of an already paid booking, in order to get the car. Others report the same desk selling cover without pressure when they booked directly with full cover.
  • Several recent reviews describe bookings that could not be honoured: no car available on arrival, a booking cancelled days before travel, or a late-arrival penalty of several hundred euros after a diverted flight. Refunds were described as slow or missing.
  • Several reviews from the last 6 months report mechanical problems or poor cars (a car that would not start, a breakdown with a long wait, nails in tyres, very scratched car), with follow-up costs or reimbursements disputed or delayed.
  • A recurring complaint is that the vehicle inspection form was not completed at pickup or did not list existing damage, so customers relied on their own photos or videos at return.

Green flags (5)

  • Pickup and return are described as quick in most reviews that mention timing, often a few minutes with little or no queue; out-of-hours return via a key box is also reported.
  • Many travellers report clean, recent cars, and several received a free upgrade to a larger category than booked.
  • Deposit release is often reported as same-day or within 24 hours, including cases where return photos were checked and no charge followed.
  • About 14 reviews say there was no pressure to buy extra insurance, particularly when the traveller held a credit card and either brought their own cover or bought the desk's full cover directly.
  • Staff are described as friendly and helpful in a large share of text reviews, and comparison sites show scores around 7.4-7.8 out of 10 for this airport desk.booking.comeconomybookings.com
