Based on 251 reviews analysed · Last updated · How scores work

The short version

Based on about 255 Google reviews from the last 11 months after excluding 45 (roughly 200 with usable text), the picture is polarised: many short positive reviews praise friendly staff and new cars, but a steady cluster of detailed 1-star reviews reports damage charges, pressure to buy insurance, deposits held up to six months, and unreliable shuttle contact. Web evidence is thin and mixed (a Trustpilot page and a comparison site rating of 7.5/10 from 12 reviews). Travellers should expect an off-site pickup, document the car thoroughly and check deposit, mileage and card rules before booking.

What travellers flag

Red flags (5)

  • Frequent reports of strong pressure at the counter to buy the desk's insurance, including being told that cover bought through a broker or third party is insufficient, or sometimes that the car cannot be released without it.
  • Off-site pickup is hard to arrange for many travellers: the phone line is often unanswered, contact is WhatsApp-based, and shuttle waits of 30-60+ minutes, missed pickups and no-show classifications are reported, with some saying they paid for a taxi.uk.trustpilot.comtrustpilot.com
