The short version

Based on about 218 informative Google reviews after excluding 4 (a further 58 are star-only), this off-site desk reached by shuttle gets many reports of fast shuttle service, quick handovers and prompt deposit refunds. A substantial minority report pressure to buy desk cover, old or worn cars, refused or changed bookings, and since September 2026 several disputed €400-€800 damage charges. Web evidence is mostly undated and mixed, so check booking and deposit terms carefully.

What travellers flag

Red flags (5)

  • Roughly 20 recent reviews describe strong pressure at the desk to buy the desk's own cover, including cases where broker cover was said to be worthless and a few where a roadside-assistance fee was described as compulsory. Review-site coverage reports similar upselling experiences.best-car-rental-paphos.comnz.trustpilot.com
  • Several reviews from the last three months report damage charges of roughly €400-€800 that customers dispute, often for underbody or scratch damage they say they did not cause. Older reviews report smaller scratch charges despite cover purchased.
  • About 11 reviews over the past year report being refused a car at the desk, or losing money, over licence age, the named driver, a card problem or intended travel to North Cyprus. Several customers say these rules were not clear when they booked, often through brokers or airline apps.
  • Many reviews describe old, worn cars. Around 8 recent reviews report safety-related faults such as low tyre pressure, brake problems, weak headlights or noises, and some customers had to wait hours for help or a swap.
  • Deposits of about €1,000-€2,000 are taken as an actual card charge rather than a hold, and several reviews report currency-conversion fees as a result. A few reviews report slow or missing refunds.best-car-rental-paphos.com
