Based on 282 reviews analysed · Last updated · How scores work

The short version

Based on about 190 usable Google reviews after excluding 18 (mostly staff-praise reviews), the desk shows a clear pattern of recent complaints about disputed damage charges, counter upselling of off-road cover, refused or repriced bookings, queues and worn cars. Many other travellers report quick, trouble-free rentals and fast deposit release, so experiences are mixed. The web evidence is mostly undated and thin.

  • 18 of 300 recent reviews excluded as unreliable (solicited staff praise, duplicates, other locations…). How we clean reviews
  • Pulled 9% toward the airport average, because recent reviews are few (151 after weighting by age).
