Based on 174 reviews analysed · Last updated · How scores work

The short version

Based on 175 usable Google reviews after excluding 48 (about 105 with text), this desk is polarised: about a quarter of the text reviews report disputed damage or other post-rental charges, and many report debit-card refusals that led to forced insurance or a higher price at the counter. Shuttle and queue experiences are mixed and the cars are often described as clean, but only a handful of text reviews date from the last 12 months and most are negative; web evidence is mostly undated and thin.
