The short version

Based on about 294 Google reviews after exclusions (roughly 190 with substantive text), this off-site desk is reached by free shuttle and gets many positive reports of fast service, low prices and quick deposit returns. However, a large share of recent reviews describe counter pressure to buy extra insurance despite broker cover, older or different cars than booked, and some disputed deposit deductions. Recent web evidence (Trustpilot) shows the same mixed picture, while most other web sources are undated.

What travellers flag

Red flags (5)

  • Around 28 kept reviews, many from the last 3 months, say the desk pushed its own extra insurance (roughly €80-280) on customers who had already bought cover through a broker.

  • Several recent reviews describe disputed damage deductions from the deposit, such as €400 for a scratch, €1,750 for a stone chip, and old marks reported as new. Some say there was no pre-rental condition report, so photos or video taken by the customer were the only evidence.
  • Several reviews report that the card or deposit rules at the desk differed from the booking: credit cards declined or debit cards refused despite booking details, and quoted deposits varying from €800 to €2,000 depending on cover. A few say they were left without a car.trustpilot.comtrustpilot.com
