I got from the UK to Italy in the same time it took to collect the car. 2 hours for collection is unacceptable. Also I booked a full size car and got a Nissan Juke which I do not class as a full size vehicle. Could not be bothered to raise given it took 2 hours to get in the first place.

Although the scores reflect positively on Firefly, they are very misguiding to my experience with them. We had a situation where the valet service we used to park the car had lost our key. No 24 hour line to call and no help offered. We were fortunate the valet staff went above and beyond to help getting us back to our hotel and carry on our plans the following morning by offering to be our 'taxi' until the key was returned which they chased up. Firefly offered no assistance at all nor showed any concern that a key to one of their vehicles was missing.

Collected the car from pisa airport at 5pm via Hertz as the firefly desk was closed. Despite paying for an insurance excess waiver, I had to put a 600 euro deposit on my credit card. The car should have been a Ford fusion or similar but the only cars available were fiat 500s. We picked the biggest (500L). The car had so many dents that I videoed the damage which corresponded with the hire agreement depiction. The fuel gauge also showed slightly less than full. Thankfully the car drove well enough. On returning it the staff at Hertz looked over it and confirmed the damages were pre-existing. ( I videos it again just to be safe).They tried to say the tank wasn't full but I showed them the receipt from the petrol station I had just filled up from and they said the fuel indicator must have been faulty. I would be wary of hiring from them. Luckily one of my party spoke fluent Italian which helped.

Easy rent cars website was easy to navigate and book

Firefly did not honour the booking of a 29 EUR and instead forced a 260 EUR vehicle on arrival. They said "my car wasn't available". On that, their car park was full to the brim with different types of vehicle, and they were actually parking their cars in other rental company's spaces. They offered a high-end vehicle ten times the price without offering apology or any other solution and charged at full price.
