It's quite far from the train station platform. If you don't have someone watching your luggage and have to return to load it after getting the car, it can be tiring. The staff is very warm and friendly.

The rental company charged additional fees during the rental process, and after returning to my country, my credit card was charged more than 400 USD. Fortunately, after a Rent-A-Car investigation, the money was refunded.

There was a very long wait during pickup, possibly due to understaffing. Fortunately, during the return, there was only a short wait before someone came to inspect the car.

I booked a gas-powered car, but was given an electric car when picking up. I requested a replacement and waited for over 4 hours to get the gas-powered car. The staff at the store were cooperative, but this is not how things should be handled. The store did not provide any compensation for this.
