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.
