The short version

Based on about 80 usable written Google reviews after exclusions, this off-site desk is rated mostly positively. Travellers praise the shuttle pickup and return, fast deposit release and the lack of insurance pressure. A cluster of late-pickup and no-show complaints appears between early 2024 and Aug 2025 with none in the last 12 months, and one recent review reports a very old, worn car. Web evidence is undated and mostly from aggregator sites, so it adds little certainty.
