The opening time was incorrect. I had a booking for 23:30. When I arrived, office was already closed and written opening time was till 22:00. Nobody answered the phone as well. I had to walk about 5km allaround the airport because it was no pedestrian edit from french side of office and spent 270€ on uber. Otherwise I'd had to wait till morning for bus. Worst rent experience ever. I TOTTALLY DO NOT RECOMEND !Reviewed 19 Sept 2024
