Based on 130 reviews analysed · Last updated · How scores work

The short version

Based on about 100 relevant Google reviews with text (one excluded as off-location, plus about 23 star-only ratings), recent feedback is mostly negative, centred on extras added at the counter, disputed post-rental charges, long queues and hard-to-reach customer service. Some reviewers praise friendly staff and good cars, and a few older reviews report smooth rentals and quick deposit returns. Web evidence is mostly undated and mixed, so it gives only weak confirmation.

What travellers flag

Red flags (5)

  • Many recent reviews say extra paid items (cover, upgrades, fuel prepayment, roadside assistance, unrequested services) ended up in the contract signed at the counter, often on a screen with no costs shown, raising the total well above the booked price.
  • Repeated recent reports of post-rental charges travellers dispute or cannot get explained, including damage claims, fuel, snow chains and unexplained card debits of hundreds of euros.
  • Long pickup queues are reported repeatedly, with waits of 45 minutes to over an hour or more at the counter or in the car park building.
  • Customer service is described as hard to reach by phone or email, with unanswered tickets and a phone line that does not connect to an agent, which leaves charge disputes unresolved.
  • Several recent reviews describe a closed or unattended desk or drop-off point around closing time. In two cases the booking was lost or the traveller was left without a car, and in two others no one inspected the car on return.

Green flags (4)

  • Several recent reviews praise courteous, helpful staff and good, clean or new cars, including hybrid and electric options.
  • Some travellers report a clear explanation of the contract and a quick, easy return, mostly in older reviews.
  • The counter and cars are reachable on foot from arrivals through the airport's pedestrian tunnels and car park, though a few reviews say signage is poor.qeeq.com
  • Reviewers who photographed the car at pickup and declined extras or used outside cover report no dispute at return, although this evidence is more than a year old.
