Based on 296 reviews analysed · Last updated · How scores work

The short version

Based on 296 Google reviews after excluding 4 (about 196 with useful text, the rest stars only), most travellers report a quick shuttle, friendly staff, clean cars and deposits returned within days. Recurring problems are card and deposit rules, the desk's own cover being sold over pre-bought broker cover, older cars or models different from those booked, and some summer 2026 waits. Web evidence is mostly undated listing and aggregator pages, so it adds little beyond the reviews.

  • Star ratings on review platforms, rescaled against all desks we rate: 8.5 · counts 30%
  • 4 of 300 recent reviews excluded as unreliable (solicited staff praise). How we clean reviews
  • Pulled 10% toward the airport average, because recent reviews are few (133 after weighting by age).
