The short version

Based on about 235 usable Google reviews after excluding 8, this Avis desk is dominated by complaints about very long queues (often 1 to 4 hours) at both the terminal counter and the car park, with a clear pattern in recent months. Disputed post-rental charges, upselling of extra insurance and mixed car cleanliness and condition are also reported regularly. Cars are often new and staff are frequently described as friendly, and some travellers have quick, trouble-free rentals; web sources are mostly undated listings and broadly mixed.

What travellers flag

Red flags (5)

  • Very long counter queues of 1 to 4 hours are reported repeatedly, mostly through autumn 2026 and throughout the past year, often with 2 to 3 staff and system problems. Travellers also report a second wait at the car park and slow returns that put flights at risk. Pre-registration and fast-lane options often did not help.booking.com
  • Many travellers report charges after returning the car that they dispute: fuel top-up fees on a full tank, an extra rental day for late check-in of the keys, cleaning, small damage items and duplicated billing. Several say refunds took weeks or went unanswered, and some needed their bank or a motoring club to get them reversed.
  • Numerous reviews describe pressure at the desk to buy extra cover (glass, tyre, towing, full cover) even when travellers had already booked full insurance through a broker, travel provider or motoring club. Some were told that third-party cover would not pay out.
  • A sizeable group of reviews report cars handed over dirty inside or out, with scratches or dents, or with warning lights or low tyre pressure. Several say staff declined to record damage at handover and told them to photograph it themselves.booking.com
  • Several reviews report that the booked car or category was not available or was replaced by a smaller one. Others report new mandatory extras at the counter, deposit cards rejected by the reader (no contactless), or the office closing before a delayed flight arrived.

Green flags (4)

  • Many reviews describe the cars as new or low-mileage and clean, often VW T-Roc, Taigo or T-Cross models.
  • A good number of travellers describe friendly, helpful, English-speaking counter staff and smooth, quick handovers and returns on quieter days, including with the fast-pass service.
  • Several recent reviews report the card deposit being released within one to a few days after return.
  • Loyalty-programme members and some other customers report free upgrades to a larger or newer car.
