The short version

Based on about 205 relevant recent Google reviews with text (34 excluded, mostly staff-praise), this off-site Record Go desk earns praise for friendly staff, mostly newer cars and often quick fuel-deposit refunds. A sizeable minority report long queues, shuttle delays, post-rental fuel or damage charges, surprise add-ons and refused or changed bookings. Web evidence is mostly undated or the brand's own marketing, and independent rating sites give mixed scores.

What travellers flag

Red flags (5)

  • A number of reviewers say they felt pushed at the counter to buy extra cover or add-ons, including when they had already bought broker or full cover, or faced surprise extra fees such as roadside assistance.
  • Some travellers say they were refused a car, or lost their prepaid booking as a no-show, over card-in-driver's-name rules, card terminal problems or licence/residency checks that they say were not clear at booking.easyterra.com

Green flags (4)

  • Many recent reviews report the fuel deposit refunded within minutes to a few days, and main deposit holds released within days of return, when the full tank and receipt rules were followed.
  • Counter staff and shuttle drivers are frequently described as friendly, clear in explaining the contract, and helpful when problems arise.

  • Prices are often described as competitive, and travellers who took the desk's full-cover option generally report few problems and a much smaller deposit.
