The short version

Based on about 173 Google reviews kept after exclusions (roughly 130 with text, skewed to German and English), handovers are often fast, damage is documented and deposits are usually returned promptly. The main recurring problems are pressure to buy extra insurance or road assistance, large card holds or card problems used to push cover, and waits that range from 5 minutes to over an hour. Web evidence is mostly undated and mixed, so it adds little beyond the reviews.
