The short version

Based on 64 Google reviews after removing 3 duplicates (about 45 with usable text), experiences are sharply split: many praise the free shuttle, friendly staff and low prices, but a large share of detailed reviews report damage charges of about €340-430 for small scratches, pressure to buy desk cover and bookings refused over name or card mismatches. Problems were still being reported in 2026, including older high-mileage cars. Web evidence for this desk is thin and mostly undated, so the picture rests mainly on the reviews.

What travellers flag

Red flags (4)

  • Many reviews over the past 18 months (at least 4 in the last 12) report damage charges of roughly €340-430 for small scratches or dents, often on the underside of the bumper or sills. Reviewers say the marks were already there or impossible to photograph. In some cases the charge was dropped when photo evidence was shown.
  • Several reviews report strong pressure at the desk to buy its own cover, with some saying that broker-purchased full cover was treated as invalid or not honoured, so they had to pay extra or lose the car. Three of these reviews are from the last 12 months.
  • Several reviews report that a booked car could not be collected because the booking name, licence or card name did not match the driver, or because of age rules. Travellers then paid again (about €120-216) or took another car. Three of these reviews are from the last 12 months.
  • Recent reviews describe older high-mileage cars (over 100,000-150,000 km) with many existing scratches or dents, plus mechanical faults such as worn brakes, a tyre losing air, a broken light or a wrong category. Four of these reviews date from the last 12 months.
