United Kingdom
Skoda Karoq
3/12/25

Pros: Reasonable price and decent car

Cons: Didn't state which terminal to collect from so wasted time trying to find it. Not great when my partner is disabled. Expected to take our own photos and do our own inspection of the car before taking it. Not ideal in the rain. Only one person available to deal with the returns
Ireland
Seat Arona
3/4/25

Pros: Valerie was brilliant for drop off as we were late finding the drop off location

Cons: Drop off location was hard to get to in T2 and no desk in T1 at Barcelona

Spain
Opel Mokka
2/23/25

Pros: Mi marido no se acordaba del código de la tarjeta de crédito y cuando ya parecía que íbamos a perder la reserva vino otro trabajador y dijo que podía usar la tarjeta de crédito de forma manual, así que finalmente pudimos usar el coche.

Cons: Debido a un retraso en el vuelo no se pudo retirar el coche el día acordado, así que lo retiramos el día siguiente, pero nos cobraron todos los días completos y también el seguro que prácticamente nos obligaron a contratar, pese a haber contratado un seguro de cobertura total. Cuando nos dieron el contrato dijeron que el coche estaba en perfecto estado y cuando fuimos a retirarlo estaba lleno marcas fuera y dentro del coche. Cuando entregamos el coche el trabajador demoró en atendernos.

Seat Leon
2/13/25

Pros: لI can't get to the building where they are When I arrived, the office was closed, knowing that I chose the pick-up and delivery times, and I was not contacted about the appointments. They do not work 24 hours.

Cons: لI can't get to know them until I evaluate their services
United Kingdom
Seat Leon
1/27/25

Pros: Quick and easy

Cons: Only thing I didnt like was I was prompted to get insurance prior to getting the car, only to discover it wasn't the insurance from fire fly. Not fire flys fault.

United Kingdom
Skoda Karoq
8/3/24

Pros: The lady that served us was very helpful and found a baby seat from another hire company (although we had prebooked this)

Cons: Hidden costs were really disappointing. The car had my husband as the named driver but I booked using my card in the UK but couldn’t complete the transaction in Spain which meant we had to pay an additional €150 which was really disappointing and we won’t be booking with Firefly again. Always hidden costs.

United Kingdom
Opel Mokka
7/19/24

6/10/24

Pros: It's awful, I never will rent a car from this company again, staff didn't listen you and don't properly explain
United Kingdom
Opel Mokka
6/3/24

Cons: We were given an unclean car not yet serviced, it was that or wait 2 hours past our booking time to collect a serviced car. The staff were rude and put the hard sell on insurance when we had booked full cover with discover cars. We found a scratch on the car on pick up and they were very reluctant to record it as existing even though they had just spent 20minutes telling us it would cost us hundreds of euros per scratch. Overall I would not reccomend Firefly.
Lithuania
Seat Leon

Pros: The car was brand new, in excellent condition.

Italy

Pros: Convenient, slight upgrade to 4wd as going to Andorra

Cons: Just one guy for Hertz and Thrifty rental return on busy Saturday
United Kingdom
Opel Corsa
2/13/24

Pros: The collection desk is open till midnight

Cons: I was charged for an order damage on the car. When I picked up the car it was dark and the video that I took it’s not showing anything. An old scratch was not where it should be on the paperwork. I explained that to the lady but she didn’t want to know. A pure rip off. Stay away from Firefly! SCAM
United Kingdom

United Kingdom
Skoda Karoq
10/27/23

Cons: They don't check the car at check in or drop off. They aren't open at 7am when the drop off was. Should not have booked with them and discover cars should not have listed them. The lot was not in terminal 2
United Kingdom

United Arab Emirates
Seat Leon
10/24/23

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything. Firefly feedback provided directly in their survey and a promise made to contact me within 72 hours to better understand my feedback. No call received 7 days later. Firefly clearly have no interest in customer service, feedback or improvements...that says everything. I would intentionally avoid them in the future and would happily pay more for the same vehicle at a different company.
Israel
