Based on 266 reviews analysed · Last updated 13 November 2026 · How scores work

The short version

Based on 266 Google reviews after removing 21 (178 with usable text), most travellers praise new, clean cars and friendly desk staff, and several report quick deposit releases. A recurring minority in the last year report pressure to buy extra cover, fuel and damage charges they dispute, category swaps, and long waits when a single clerk is on duty. Web evidence is thin and mostly undated, so it adds little beyond the reviews.
