GBSCAM COMPANY SCAM COMPANY! Paid £330 when we booked. when we picked the car up was told verbally was we had paid in full and nothing else to pay…. When signing we was told again all we was signing for was the T&Cs which was all in code. They just said it was only T&C no other extras. A month later £426 was taken again off my credit car. When contacted no answer, did respond to emails. Contacted my bank to who fought the case and as far as we was concerned got a charge back. THEN 2 months hurtz sent another email saying we still owe £426…. Was ignored constantly for 2 months sending numerous emails and got the same generic email back. The broker said we had signed for super theft insurance, safety charges and a car up grade, ALL OF THIS WAS NOT EXPLAINED TO US AND AGREED!!! Tried to contact Citizens advice, financial ombudsmen and ERS… all either could not help. Now the debt has been sent to EOS debt collectors…. Couldn’t face the stress any more with a court order so paid the SCAMMERS! NEVER USE THIS COMPANY YOU WILL BE SCAMMED!!

GBI hired a car from Firefly but will never do that again I hired a car from Firefly, through Holiday Autos, in Seville from 17-28 March 2024. Everything was fine until a few days after I returned to the UK and found c£450, unexpected unaccounted and unexplained, taken from my credit card. Despite their claim to respond to all queries in 3 days, I have now been waiting for 8 days with no response. The customer query form on the Firefly / Hertz site does not work. I would certainly not use them again.

GBBeware being mis-sold I would strongly recommend caution before hiring these people or indeed Hertz who own them. I hired a car from their Alicante office via RentalCars.Com. The total price for three days was just over £40 which I paid in advance. On collecting the car I made clear to the Firefly representative that I had my own specialist car hire insurance and did not need anything further from them. I even specifically asked, before signing and initialing the document he gave me, that I had nothing more to pay. After I returned the car, no invoice was sent but my credit card was charged £164 (4 times the cost of the rental!) - they refused to repay this on the grounds that I had signed a document taking out some form of super cover, which they must have known I did not need. I complained to the European Car Rental Conciliation Service who just pointed out that I had signed the form and was therefore liable. What the Conciliation Service failed to consider was whether others have been scammed in this way, and whether representatives have any financial incentive to make customers take out such extras without understanding what they are. If the leaders of this company had any integrity they would monitor complaints such as this, explain how the incentives for staff work and publish guidance for staff making it clear that mis-selling will not be tolerated. For us customers, my advice is to be very careful with all hire companies to check what you are signing - the forms look to be deliberately obscure!

GBWe rented a car a Firefly at Malaga airport We rented a car at Malaga airport. Told out excess car insurance wont cover a recovery cost if incurred. The car park is very dark so car damages could not be inspected. Later found a wheel trim missing. We reported it to all available E mail addresses and the message was returned from those provided by their the HO helpdesk. None of the phone numbers provided are answered or work. I have phoned them 24 times, no answer or line busy. Even the numbers to report accidents or breakdown don't work. Avoid this company at all cost, they are guaranteed to enfuriate you.
