The short version
Based on about 140 informative Google reviews after excluding 5, most travellers praise low prices, quick pick-up and return, and fairly new cars. A recurring minority report short-refunded deposits, desk pressure over tow or extra cover, and dirty or mechanically weak cars. The desk is outside the terminal, a 5-15 minute walk on a poorly signposted route, and web evidence is mostly undated.
