The short version

Based on 280 retained recent Google reviews (about 210 with useful text), this off-airport desk is mostly praised for low prices, a quick free shuttle and fast deposit refunds. A recurring minority of reports concern the desk refusing deposit cards (especially debit or foreign cards), disputed cleaning or damage charges, and older, high-mileage cars. Web sources are mostly undated booking-site pages with positive average ratings, so they add little beyond the reviews.
