Based on 292 reviews analysed · Last updated · How scores work

The short version

Based on about 190 usable Google reviews from the last eight months (after excluding 8; many other reviews are star-only), this off-site desk is polarised. Many travellers praise new, clean cars and friendly staff, but a steady stream of recent reviews report pressure to buy the desk's cover when the card rules are not met, bookings cancelled after late arrivals, long waits and disputed charges. The web evidence is mostly undated or thin and broadly consistent with the negative reports.

  • Star ratings on review platforms, rescaled against all desks we rate: 4.7 · counts 30%
  • 8 of 300 recent reviews excluded as unreliable (solicited staff praise, other locations, duplicates…). How we clean reviews
  • Pulled 7% toward the airport average, because recent reviews are few (187 after weighting by age).
