The short version

Based on 138 Google reviews after excluding 9 (about 111 with written comments), this terminal desk is generally quick for pick-up and return, and most reviewers report clean cars and prompt deposit refunds. The main recurring complaint is pressure to buy extra cover even when travellers already hold broker or full insurance (about 7 reports in the last 12 months), plus occasional surprise charges or a different car than booked. Web evidence is mostly undated and mixed, so check deposit size and fuel terms in your booking before you travel.
