Based on 154 reviews analysed · Last updated · How scores work

The short version

Based on 154 kept Google reviews (5 staff-praise reviews excluded), about 110 of them with substantive text, this off-site desk shows a clear pattern of deposit problems, with deposits taken as charges and refunds delayed, plus cancellations, car-condition complaints and poor responsiveness. Positive experiences exist and appear in recent reviews, especially for travellers who took full cover, but they are outnumbered by complaints on deposits. Web evidence is mostly undated review aggregators, so it is weak, though it points the same way.
