The short version

Based on 119 Google reviews after two exclusions (about 93 with text, mostly in Spanish, Italian, German and English), this desk is rated well for light deposits, no insurance pressure and usually quick service. Recent reviews from December 2025 to September 2026 report some very long peak-time queues, cars or prices that differed from the booking, and a few poorly kept vehicles. Web evidence is mostly undated forum posts and broadly positive, so it adds little certainty.

  • Star ratings on review platforms, rescaled against all desks we rate: 6.9 · counts 30%
  • 2 of 121 recent reviews excluded as unreliable (solicited staff praise, other reasons). How we clean reviews
  • Pulled 24% toward the airport average, because recent reviews are few (47 after weighting by age).
