The short version
Based on about 100 relevant Google reviews with text, plus 17 stars-only ratings, after excluding 29 reviews (mostly staff-praise, questions posted as reviews and one other company), the desk is rated very positively for clear handovers, photo-documented car condition, clean cars and quick deposit release. The main caution is the credit-card rule: debit-card renters are reported to face a much higher price because full cover is then required, and a few older reports mention disputed charges. Web evidence is thin and mostly undated.
