This company is just trying to steal people. I've pre-booked it online, paid online the fees and when I arrived at the AirPort, they asked to pay 100€ more for no reasons, made me sign papers and I discovered 2 hours later that they indeed charged me 385€! when contacting them, they say I agreed to the insurance which I clearly didn't as I have one with my work. this is just stealing people without even their agreement!

Firefly (Via Rentalcars.com) have routinely been an excellent company to hire from at reasonable rates.

Added glass insurance without my consent to the insurance and despite declining to accept it and told it was removed, still charged on my return

I had a very positive experience with Firefly. I see there are a lot of negative reviews out there from people that hate to read "Terms and conditions". I rented via doyouspain website, and initially the first Car rental company (OleCar) turned out to be a total SCAM. The 3rd party helped me change to Firefly at no extra cost and for 12 days at 300 Euro + 75 Euro insurance. For the price I got 2018 Ford Focus 1.0 Eco Boost 125 HP touring model with some minor damages on the exterior. In the contract it was said that I will have to provide credit card and have 860 Euro blocked on the card just in case. At the car rental desk they also explained to me the terms and conditions and offered the additional Insurance from their side which was 200 Euro, I rejected their offer as I already had insurance, they explained that if something happens to the car I will have to cover the expenses and then my other insurance will cover. I expected the car before I took it, marked all the imperfections, returned it in the same condition after driving 2000 km in Spain. Full - Full tank. Got my Credit Card deposit of 860 Euro refunded in less than 5 business days. If you expect car rental company to just give you a whole car without additional insurance and deposit... hmm will you give your Car to a stranger & a foreigner?

Warning for CarJet and Firefly. They have put in systems to deceive the customer. I booked and paid in advance incl. CarJet extra insurance. When I picked up the car at Firefly they demanded 95 Euro for because I did not have a credit card, only a debit card. True, CarJet writes this in fine print, but most people do not see it. Probably CarJet and Firefly do this together and share the profits. I demanded the money back but did not get it, a week's car rental in smoke. I recommend AutoEurope or Rental Cars instead, none of which behave badly. Booked car today via Rental Cars / Hertz and last week with AutoEurope / Europcar, no problem just using debit cards.

Östrahult's rating of their experience of Firefly: (1/5) on 18 January 2020

Everything seemed to be perfect apart from the wait, nothing was mentioned about insurance which was a surprise but they did say that if I did not return the car full of fuel then I would be charged €150 which they wrote under the charges and highlighted. On returning home I found they had charged me an additional €294. On querying this they said that I had signed the agreement to accept this charge and that everyone should read through the agreement thoroughly. I waited 1 3/4 hours in the queue to pick up the car, can you imagine how long that would be if everyone read all the small print. I feel that it was very underhand to let me think I was signing to bring the car back full and not to mention any additional insurance.

Con merchants! Add on insurance you do not need! You are then unable to contact them when you get home and they pocket the extra money they have charged you. DO NOT USE

Terrible bad. Disgusting bunch of robbing thieves who steal money from your credit card saying it’s a bond and then they keep it. They lie about damage and bringing the car back NOT FILLED UP. I filled the car up and gave them my receipt. Then they lie. I cannot contact them. They do not answer their phone or respond through online contact forms they ignore you spanish staff are rude and aggressive Dirty damaged cars

Cheap criminals who gave me a broken vehicle then exchanged it for a smelly smokers car then stole £252 from my debit card. They never answer their customer service telephone. Todate I’ve called them 5/6/7/8 times daily and 72 times in total. Sending them 32 emails through their online Contact us Form. They’ve ignored everything HERTZ created this cheap thieving company. HERTZ should now take responsibility. Kathryn Marinello is the CEO she has receipt of my complaint THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE GIT RID OF. THEY ARE THIEVES

Tried to charge me extra at the airport after telling me the car I'd booked wasn't available, by the time they'd added the taxes and other extras when the car was returned the original price more than doubled, would never use again!

Easy pick up in girona airport. Didnt try any hard sell for upgrades unlike American rental companies. Drop off easy but you just put the keys in a lock box so no one signs off your contract. I took a picture of the car in the drop off bay to prove it was there.

Very Friendly, great economical car with Sat Nav. Good value for money. A little difficult to find the returns area as it was separate from other rental returns, but they did give us directions. Highly Recommended

On the 2nd of August £187.35 was taken out of my account by "TRANSPORT*CARHIRE" (CAR TRAWLER) when I made the booking (as expected), then on the 20th of August "FIREFLY CAR RENTAL" then took out £218.58. Car Trawler charged me for the car hire and then Firefly who supplied the car also charged me for the hire. A complete SCAM, steer clear of both these companies because they have no customer services either, to deal with the issue,

Just love Firefly. With some companies they just don't give up on trying to sell their own expensive insurance. I was simply asked whether I had my own and when I said yes, that was that. Great car too - it had a bit of damage but I don't mind that. Will definitely use them again.
