I really do not understand why collecting a rental car takes so long, if I find a provider that can greatly reduce the wait time then they will be my company of choice

Was really disappointed in the car we were given. I paid for a Ford Fiesta, which would have been big enough for our luggage, and got a Lancia Ypsilon.

Qeeq needs to make it clearer that Target Rent at Pisa is not where all the other car hire operators are based and not to follow the signs to car rentals but pay close attention to the directions on the voucher. Target Rent is actually closer to the Terminal exit than where every other operator is based. The directions were otherwise just about adequate once we realise they were not based in the normal, purpose built area for car hire.

The instructions suggested that the office was in the arrivals area at the airport. It was not! That resulted in a lot of asking around as the rental company was not listed on a big board as operating from a another off airport location. Very frustrating!

The vehicle was in very poor condition, and after picking the car up I was shocked to realise it had done over 205,000 km which in my view is way beyond the useful life of an average car, let alone one a company is renting out (for a 9 day price that would probably go towards buying 50% of the car). The vehicle was so worn it lacked power in lower gears to the point it felt unsafe, and we were concerned there was a very high risk the vehicle could breakdown. We therefore used the vehicle a lot less than we had hoped to on our holiday. Overall this experience has left me thinking I would be highly unlikely to use this company in the future, or recommend it to anyone else.

Couldn’t find Target Rental desk initially this was because they are also called Liberty and this was the big sign above the desk. Target Rental sign was on a A4 piece of paper on a sign on the desk. It was very busy in the rental terminal so you couldn’t see the sign!

We picked the car at Pisa and staff gave us Florence branch address for drop-off. However once we got there to return the car the staff said drop-off is at different spot. It was underground carpark without obvious sign of the company so it took us 5 mins to circle around until luckily we saw staff with pink t-shirt. should at least put the company logo/ name at the car park entrance. All the staff we met however was very nice and one of them also gave us shuttle service to train station. The car was in good condition and we got complimentary upgrade.

The staff were reasonably friendly at pick-up, probably helped by my being able to speak Italian. The car we received was smaller than anticipated, but it had enough room for us to travel from Pisa Airport to our destination about 2 hours away. The Lancia Ypsilon was very underpowered! Especially going up hills, which often required dropping down 2 or 3 gears to climb!!! On the return, the agent commented that they were unable to check the condition of the car, as it was dirty, and that I would have to take it to a car wash before returning it! The dirt was from 18 days driving around white roads and normal roads in Tuscany during which time we experienced a range of weather conditions from heat to thunderstorms and heavy showers of rain. No mention was made at pick-up about returning the car "washed". Nor have I ever experienced this requirement with any other car hire company at Pisa Airport, or any other airport in Italy, over the past 30 years!

Car did not have what we expected: Sat navigation & at least a backup camera - so was disappointing. However, we did manage with, & get used to, the beeping sensors. We used an app on our phone to navigate but could not plug phone into the car to charge so had to use a map - North Amrica phone plugs don't seem compatible with European plugs - would have been helpful to know!

Waited a long time because car provided had parcel shelf missing and needed it to hide luggage so had to organise a different car. Happy in the end though

The car was of good quality, however a warning light continuously sounded as an oil change/top up was due. The car was not clean upon pick up. Europcar pick up service was a disaster. We had to queue for over two hours just to pick up the car, with no explanation or offer of compensation. There was not an unsurprisingly large amount of people in the queue - rather there were only two members of staff (there were 8 desk areas) who were very slow. This was completely unacceptable and I will not book with Europcar in the future.

I was very satisfied with my rental experience this week. The clerk was very friendly. I rented one type of car, which it turns out was a little high on mileage, so the clerk changed me over to a newer model without asking, as a convenience. Drop off was quick an easy. Now just waiting for refund of my security fee which I expect to happen shortly.

Booked a Mercedes B class estate (or similar) got a Skoda estate which I was told was equal to a Merc... Thought I then agreed for the delta between used fuel and full tank, not a full tank so again was fleeced of an extra 50 euros. Price doesn't include VAT which is misleading. Kids' car seat pricing is a con as is the charge for an extra driver...

My parents collected the car and unbeknown to them were sold some additional insurance, despite saying they didn't need it. The first they knew was a bill in the post when they got home for an additional 180euros. A tad steep when the initial rental cost was only £88. This is in the process of being resolved, hopefully by budget. But beware and make sure you check everything before you sign.

Booked a Fiat 500 or similar. We got a Panda which was ready for the knackers yard. The accompanying document was highlighted with numerous bumps and scratches with a broken wheel trim. A yellow warning light came on soon after driving away and each time I turned right, the front left wheel screeched. It was a little unnerving when going up hairpin bends. At night the dipped lights were dim. The mileage was over 102,000 km when collected. When dropped off Pablo the Panting Panda, the rep didn’t really care after I told him about the faults. Cheap yes... Cheerful no...

You really need to make it clearer where the location is. I went to the main rental area which was wrong. I also found it very difficult to find the location upon returning. Finally, the car took CNG, and it was difficult to find a service station providing this. All of the above points could be easily provided on one piece of paper when collecting the car. Otherwise a good car, and clean. Nice customer service too.

It was difficult to find where we actually pick up the car. Needs to be some additional information when booking or before you collect the car. They gave us a car that needs methane gas, but very few stations have this, do was impossible to find this type of gas. Seems unreasonable to hire out cars that you can fill up again! Added a lot of unwanted stress to the trip!

“Car” a lot bigger than expected - given a Fiat Ducato (9 seats) rather than the advertised VW Caravelle (7 seats) “or similar”. In my view 9 seaters should be in a different category - unbelievable that something like a Ford Galaxy is in the same set of ACRISS/SIPP codes as a massive Ducato! Asked but they did not have any smaller 7 seater available. Very challenging to drive and park due to the excessive size. Long wait in queue at pickup, but staff friendly and to their credit they didn’t do a hard sell on extra insurance when I explained I already had other excess cover. Also good that they didn’t try the usual hire company trick of trying to charge for spurious damages on drop off (it already had a lot of existing scratches)

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.
