The short version

Based on about 70 Google reviews after exclusions (around 64 with usable text), this Rent4U desk is polarised: many travellers praise friendly staff, newer cars and flexibility with card types, but a large share of recent reviews report disputed damage charges and slow or missing deposit refunds. Web sources are mostly undated or mixed and broadly point the same way, so travellers should photograph and video the car in detail at pickup and return.
