27 Car Rental Brands in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy

I had time ago a bad experience with Drivalia, they gave me a car with a very old tyre, broken in the internal face, that was irreparable, and I was never reimbursed for the cost of a new tyre (used) that I had to buy. I gave them another chance, cannot complaint about the car, new, but the staff at the check in was apathetic, slow.

We gave the car back with a tiny scratch on one side. It was so superficial that it could easily have been buffed out with a bit of black car polish. We have been charged £755!!! This is ridiculous and it has put us off ever renting a car on holiday ever again.

The car was a fiat 500 not the car we booked. It was in poor condition but mechanically ok. The Guy Andreas who we have met before is very easy to talk to and was understanding of the condition of the car. The process of getting a car at the desk took 40 minutes despite us being the only people at the booking desk. It was late in the afternoon so not ideal.

This is a dishonest company that sets traps throughout the process to make you fall into them. Fortunately, I bought full insurance from Zuzuche, so I wasn't worried, but it was still bothersome dealing with these people. They will tirelessly pitch their insurance to you and often use phrases like 'the police will do this or that' to scare you. If you don't buy their insurance, they will charge a 1200 Euro deposit on your card as a 'purchase' rather than a 'pre-authorization'. We recorded the entire car pickup process, but at return, they still tried to make us sign a damage report for an old scratch the size of a fingernail on the wheel hub. We argued for an hour and refused to sign, finally achieving justice. Even so, the deposit was not refunded until two months later after communication through Zuzuche's customer service. Although we did not incur any losses, we were very disappointed with how Italians treat tourists. We will be more cautious next time we visit.

The staff's attitude was very good. However, when I was charged a 1200 Euro deposit, I repeatedly confirmed with the staff that it was a 'freeze'. The staff also repeatedly confirmed that it was just a freeze. A few days later, I found out that this amount had been deducted. After returning the car, I learned through the rental car customer service that it would take one or two months to get the deposit back.

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!

Reviewed: Sep 1, 2019

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.

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.

Rented the car for 6 days and was inexplicably charged over 420 euros! The Naples store supposedly operated until 11 PM, but they stopped accepting car returns before 9 PM. I handed over the keys without any receipt or explanation, only verbal confirmation that everything was okay. The next morning, I received a bank message indicating a charge of 269 euros. Including the deposit, a total of over 420 euros was taken! Unbelievable! Do not rent from this company. I'm not a novice; I've driven over 7-8,000 kilometers in Europe, and this is the first time I've encountered something like this!! It's ridiculous. I strongly advise everyone driving in southern Italy to get full insurance! It's very important. The drivers there are crazy!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Otherwise a good car, and clean. Nice customer service too.

“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)

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.
