very limited office hours. office not inside airport, and shuttle doesn't work all the time, so you need a taxi. HUGE hidden cost for insurance. They basically force you take one of their "offers".

Mediocre|Feb 2022
We were not informed about extra costs and fine print associated with our booking until the day we arrived. Staff were slow to respond and took a long time to get our booking sorted in store. We were told that a shuttle service would be available at the time we returned the vehicle so we could go back to the airport promptly. However, upon returning the vehicle, the staff would not allow us to use the shuttle service, saying that we were "too late" and should have arrived half an hour earlier. Staff were rude and not helpful.
