What travellers flag

Red flags (5)

  • Several reviews in the last 7 months report charges of roughly 170-270 EUR for small scratches or marks they say were minor or invisible. Most of these travellers did not take the desk's own full cover, and some were told of the charge shortly before a flight.
  • About a dozen recent reviews describe pressure at the counter to buy the desk's own insurance, upgrades or extras. Some say they were told their existing cover was not valid, or that declining led to a cooler attitude or a lower-category car.
  • Many reviewers find the shuttle meeting point at the far edge of the airport car park hard to find. About a dozen report waits of 30 minutes to over an hour for the shuttle, at the counter or on return, so allow extra time before flights.reddit.com
