Noleggiare at Florence Santa Maria Novella Railway Station

Pros: Friendly staff and a good car for a good price

Cons: Meticulous check of every spot on the car at drop off (no issues, though)

Pros: i have paid EUR 178.86 for my order here with dicovercars.com (Your car rental booking D011328458 is confirmed (pick-up on 31 Oct 2025)), however Noleggiare didn’t deduct this prepaid amount when i check out the car. pls refund this eur 178.86 to me the tyre of the car that i rent flatted on the highway. i have to tuck the car and taxi taxi back to florence to get another car. the customer service said the taxi fee will be reimbursed. also it is non sense that they charge me for replacing car

Pros: Car clean and modern. Upgrade to slightly bigger car.

Cons: Insistent on payment of a fixed tariff daily. Stating to cover third party liability. Before we could rent the car. Not expected, but trapped into agreeing, otherwise no car.

Pros: It took 90 minutes to do the pick because the car was not ready, dirty and no fuel

Cons: Very poorly organised. Car was dirty and only had half a tank of petrol until I sent them away to fill it up. Very poor rental company. The car was ok though being a Toyota.

Pros: The car was in very good condition and clean!

Cons: The pressure for getting an extra insurance when I already paid one with discover cars. When I drop-off the car, nobody were there, I waited 1:15hour.

Pros: They wouldn’t rent us the car even though we had an international drivers license

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Rental agent tried very hard to sell us their full protect insurance even when we told him that we already had one from discovercars. When we returned the car, the process took about an hour. One extra hour that we could use to something more interesting in Rome in our last day.

Pros: Easy return.

Cons: Took too long to pick up the car.

Pros: Helpful staff

Cons: Put a pink Noleggiare sign outside the parking complex so it is easier to find

Pros: Easy booking on-line, excellent rental office service.

Cons: Process at rental office is manual and a little slow. Also, when we were given the car, I noted to the garage attendant that there was a low tire pressure warning for the front left tire. He kicked it and said it was fine. We ended up having to fill the fill the tire daily because it had a slow leak and kept losing pressure. This was very inconvenient.

Pros: Fantastic staff

Cons: Excellent

Pros: There was nothing to like. I arrived without my International Driving Permit and was forced to buy the most expensive insurance plan so as to maintain the car rental. In Italy last year, I never had this problem. So what’s the logic? With insurance bought, I’m allowed to drive in Italy without my driving permit? Out of desperation, I had to reluctantly carry on with the rental, with the ‘premium’ insurance plan purchased. Car received was dirty. Fuel was not even pumped full.

Cons: I asked if I could return the car after office hours and was told to return it to the garage and just put the car keys inside. No problem they said, you’re fully insured. When I returned the car after office hours, the garage was locked! What was I to do? I parked the car outside the garage and left the keys inside as instructed. Now I’ve been charged €72 for the late return of the car when I actually returned it a night earlier. Couldn’t find the car they said! Scammers! Help me get my €72 back

Pros: Staff. Friendly, efficient desk representative, shuttle driver, and the people that give you the actual car. Car in great condition.

Cons: not that easy to find the rental office

Pros: Менеджер предоставил авто выше классом без доплаты. Отнёсся с пониманием. Не смотря на языковой барьер, уделил время и постарался разъяснить детали для страны пребывания

Cons: Дорого

Pros: The agent in Florence was kind and helpful.

Cons: The car we originally picked up had a flat tire when we got in and started to drive. We went back and they quickly gave us a different car. At drop off though they had put the wrong return time and the rep was rude to us. Aside from the issue, the rep at drop off location was very rude.

Pros: We rented a 7 seat “intermediate van” for 6 people. We got a Peugeot 5008 which was perfect for my family of 6 with 1 carry on sized bag each. It did have a 7th seat but we would not have fit 7 with bags. It was perfect for Italy’s tight roads both in Florence and in Tuscany. The car rental was the part of our trip I was the most concerned about but Noleggiare nailed every detail: a great experience! Note if coming from US you DO need the international driving permit. $20 at AAA.

Cons: Noleggiare’s service was friendly and efficient. Seemed like everyone who worked for them was nice and spoke English very well. It’s a bit of a walk from S. Maria station in Firenze to their office but it was exactly where they said and straight forward. Once there, they processed our rental quickly, shuttled us to the car and we were on our way with exactly the car we expected and better service than I could hope for. 100% would rent from them again!

Pros: Excellent service, Gianni was the best agent! Friendly, kind and excellent explanations in English

Pros: Once, we found the office, staff was helpful. They explained that the insurance coverage on the contract did not cover the car damages, etc. We had to pay more money for adequate insurance coverage.

Pros: Very bad service.

Cons: You gave me a car with small damages and didn’t take note of this just saying “no worries” all will be okay and now I receive a report with calling it is my responsibility? It is a shame of you. I will report to all web trip sites about your bad services if you do not fix it asap.

Pros: They referred me to a place that could help me

Cons: Unfortunately, discover car rentals did not inform me that in Italy you have to have an international driving permit. So I was unable to rent the car.

Pros: The car was in a good condition, drop off location was central.

Cons: At the service desk(first location) the guy forced me to get platinum insurance, he said it is mandatory and after I said no I don't want it clearly, he stopped insisting but I got disturbed by this condition.

Pros: Please email me for a detailed description: dbracha@yahoo.com

Cons: Please email me for a detailed description: dbracha@yahoo.com

Pros: car was clean

Cons: they are not clear enough to tell that non-EU drivers need an international license. It is only because they want to charge you more for full insurance (that is already paid to discovercars)

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Only the drop off person was good Rest experience was bad

Pros: The car itself was good value except that I was asked to top up my insurance despite buying the full cover from Discovery. It ran well although and was relatively clean (although there were footprints etc on mats, doors and car had brake pads worn warning).

Cons: Firstly, the car pick-up was very far from rental company shopfront which was already some distance from the train station. I left my family a the station and by the time I came around to pick them it was an hour later. Secondly, I was told I had to produce an international driver's licence. I have NEVER been asked for this in Italy and my next rental at Sixt. Because of this they made me purchase max insurance cover even tho I Had already bought max cover from Discovercars.

Pros: Noleggiare was great. DISCOVER was TERRIBLE!!!

Cons: Forced to get extra insurance

Pros: Very thorough handover of car, car was better than expected

Cons: Long time to pick up car even though had done online check in

Pros: The agent who helped us with the pick up was super helpful, Ricciardo at Noleggiare. He upgraded us from a Toyota hatchback to a Fiat Panda.

Pros: Agents were friendly and helpful.

Cons: The process took very long overall to pick up the car.

Pros: From check-in to drop off everyone did their best to help us out. Service was great.

Pros: The drop off went very well. The staff there were helpful and polite and well organized.

Cons: The agent at the rental desk was overworked, unhelpful and seemed determined to upsell me on CDW insurance. It took over an hour after completing the rental documents to finally get the car keys. The car was very dirty, especially the windshield. I had to stop to get window cleaner so I could see to get out of town. I asked for it repeatedly but never got a paper copy of my rental agreement. I did not get the car that was offered when I made the booking. The alternative was less than satisfactor

Pros: Nothing

Cons: They refused to give me the car, because I didn’t have an international driver’s permit. Discover Cars then pocketed the initial 60$ fee. I imagine Noleggiare got a cut, however I would need to confirm. Avis had no issues renting me a car right next door. And they communicated to me that this is common with Noleggiare. They will rent a car to multiple people and then turn them away when they show up to get the easy cash. This scam generates thousands of euros with no service provided.

Pros: my booking was cancelled because I was an hour late to my window due to unforeseen circumstances. my trip was ruined.

Pros: Nothing. Fraudulent company renting damaged vehicles then trying to charge for damages already there.

Cons: Worst experience ever.

Pros: Will not use again

Cons: If you refund me. I will be happy.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Did not get the car I paid for. Did not get a condition report. Did not get GPS that I paid for. Did not get a refund.

Cons: See above comments

Pros: Polite and helpful service

Cons: Nothing

Pros: They suggested an alternative car at no additional cost

Pros: Agents were friendly, however an incredible amount of uncertainty around to insurance and what to believe. Not happy we overall experience.

Cons: Long waiting times, otherwise friendly staff.

Cons: Contrary to what is indicated when renting a car from the Florence train station, there is no shuttle service to take you to the rental office. Had to drag luggage through several city blocks to get to office. Car is not located at office, a shuttle is required to get to garage, a further delay. Upon return of the car the car rental employee went over every single inch of the car looking for the smallest issue in order to make a claim. Luckily I took out insurance, photograph everything…

Pros: The rental agents were so helpful and friendly. We absolutely loved our experience with them.

Pros: I can’t comment on this because the experience was terrible from beginning to end.

Cons: It took an hour and a half to get the car. There was a line out the door. Although we did everything online it did not help expedite the procedure of picking up the car. We were shuttled to an offsite to pick up car. The cars air co condition went on and off. It was so miserably hot. The car turned off on us twice. We changed our travel plans and returned it two days early. They did nothing to take care of the issue. I was told to take it up online.

Pros: See above

Cons: Refund me my money and don’t steal my deposit when I got nothing in return.

Pros: The employees at the garage pick up were very helpful & friendly.

Cons: Worst rental experience ever regarding picking up the car. When we arrived at the site for our reservation, the line up was 20 people deep outside the door, with about 10 people inside. There were only 2 representatives helping customers, & it took at least 20 minutes per rental. Once a representative finished with a customer, he then walked them outside & down a block to show where to wait for the shuttle, adding another 5 minutes to the time spent. It took over 2 hours to get into our car.

Pros: Agent was friendly. Ours was great. The other desk agent really tried to scare/push renters to buy there insurance even though they had it through a broker.

Cons: Disorganized at the pick up lot and took awhile to get car. Lot person just gave car and didn't go over it with you.

Pros: Everything was terrible - do not rent here

Cons: Everything was terrible - do not rent here

Pros: We were multiple hours delayed due to public transport issues and they were very understanding and had no issues renting a car.

Pros: Friendly service, relatively easy pick up and drop off.

Cons: When I booked the car, I booked a "small SUV similar to a Skoda Karoq". I was expecting something similar to a Rav 4 and I got a Hyundai Kona, which is just a hatchback car. We had 4 adults and 7 suitcases . The people in the back were very uncomfortable on the way to our Airbnb. Once we started our day trips the car was plenty big, however. It would be nice to have a more accurate description and maybe a roof rack??

Pros: They wouldn’t rent us a car based on not having an “international drivers license. They said it was illegal in Italy to rent without it even though every other car company was willing to rent to us.

Cons: Feels like we got scammed from both companies. Still waiting to hear from a service rep

Pros: The agent was polite - even though he was unable to provide us with a car. He let us sit in the air condition while we tried to fix the mess and book train tickets at the last minue.

Cons: Though the obligation for an International Permit was in the fine print - it would have been VERY HELPFUL if it had been made clearer to us when we made the booking.

Pros: Honestly, not much.

Cons: I waited for the attendant to review the car after return, and was told everything looked ok. He did not give me any paperwork at that time, and several days later I received an email stating that there was a scratch on the door. I don't believe that was from our trip, as we were driving mostly in the countryside, and had no issues. Also, the gas was supposed to be full at pick up, and it was less than 1/3 full. The wait time to get the car was about 2 hours. I would not rent from them again.

Pros: Very nice people in Florence and drop off was so easy in Rome.

Pros: Return was easy, but pick up took about an hour.

Pros: The rental agents were helpful and easy to work with.

Cons: With the number or rental pickups scheduled for that day, they needed way more agents to assist. A 2 hour wait is unacceptable. As a whole, the insurance process should be better explained in advance as between Discover Cars and Noleggiare.

Pros: Noleggiare are the worst. Long ques, waiting for hours then told we need international drivers licence. On the agreement it wasn’t clear - only required valid international drivers licence which is true of NZ and AUS

Cons: Slow service, no car, no refund, unethical company. I would recommend avoiding at all cost

Pros: All services are great except the insurance part

Cons: The insurance part is bit messy as if you didn't do the insurance with them you will face alot of issues when you return the car even if the car was clean as you took it . They will find a way to let you pay extra . As i have an ongoing case with them

Pros: I was never told to bring the car filled back up. Then once I arrived was told I had to pay 35$ fee plus whatever the tank would take to fill up. Came out to 90$ which is absolutely ridiculous.

Cons: This place sucks would not recommend.

Pros: Owner of company was very helpful and kind

Cons: Office was not close to station as advertised. Car was given to us empty of fuel. Shuttle driver did not assist with loading luggage

Pros: The drop off was quick and the shuttle to the station most helpful!!

Cons: Pick up took quite a long time and we did not get the car we had ordered. I know this happens with rental cars but I believe in this case we got a smaller car (Citroen C3 vs Ford Focus) than we had asked and paid for.

Pros: The agents were so helpful, and kind.

Cons: It was a bit hard to FIND the office (that's not service related--but maybe sending people more information about the location would be helpful!).

Pros: Drop off employee at Rome Terminal

Cons: A scratch was reported on the car and we are sure we didn't do it.

Pros: Nothing outstanding

Cons: Directions not clear on where to go. Not happy that car had to be picked up at a different location than the rental office. This should have been explained

Pros: Car is good and clean

Cons: The waiting time to collect car is too long

Pros: Very slow. Not helpful at Florence to get the car. Car was not clean with trash from previous passengers in the rear. Had to call them the last day to remind them that we did not pick up at 9 am - we picked up at 1pm so should be able to drop off them as well.

Pros: We were able to rent a car at a semi-affordable price.

Cons: The meeting location of both pick up and drop off were not accurate. It made the whole process very long and difficult. It was a very tiring and frustrating process and when I tried to contact anyone there was no response. Would not recommend.

Pros: Good car after change

Cons: Agent processed so slow for pickup. I spent more than 1 hour

Cons: Had to take extra cover . Paid €280 more than expected. DisciverCars price appears lower, but you need to do a careful price comparison.

Pros: Check in was smooth in Florence

Cons: We haven’t received instructions for the drop out and had to spend an hour looking for the place. We actually had to go to the office in Termini Station to get the instructions,

Cons: The car was not a “similar” model to what we selected and paid for. I had to hire a driver and get train tickets for 2 of our riders because the the car was too small. We selected a midsized SUV that was supposed to hold 5 passengers and 4 or 5 bags. This was not possible. False advertising in my opinion. The office is a long way from where the cars are and it was a very inefficient service. Turning the car in gave an address that was a tire shop and incorrect. Highly dissatisfied

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Small crowed office, waiting time close to 1 hour, just to find that tbey don't have any car with automatic transmission and just suggested us to find car in other place

Pros: Returning the car was very easy and the person there was helpful and called us a taxi so we didn’t wait for the shuttle because of our earlier poor experience.

Cons: There was only one employee at the rental desk, so there was a decent queue. Then we had to wait for a shuttle to take us to pick up the car and this was more than 30 minutes. We had a 9:30 pick up time and by the time we found the rental agency office and got shuttled to the car, it was almost 11:30. This took time away from our planned day.

Cons: I had to wait in the office for up to 2 hours to be attended, and then pick up the car about 15 minutes walk away, when I put Florence Train Station in the reservation. I lost two hours of my excursion time. In the end, in this way I felt a little cheated because they could warn me before making the reservation

Pros: Friendly and incredibly helpful

Pros: Absolutely nothing.

Cons: The service was terrible - pick up time was for 2 PM and we didn't get the car until 7 PM. Waited in a line for several hours and missed part of my brother's wedding due to the wait. They also attempted to give us a manual car despite our reserving an automatic.

Pros: Not much, poor attitude

Cons: As above

Pros: Car was ok.

Cons: Nothing. They changed the car last minute. I never received a new agreement with the nee car plate for example. The car tank wasn’t full, and they said there was an issue with the car marking it full which was a lie. When I filled up the car, the marking was pointing normal to full, which means I lost money there. They never got my phone call or replied to any email. Avoid this company at cost of you are reading this

Pros: I did not like anything about this experience. It ruined a significant part of our vacation.

Cons: I paid to rent a vehicle and was not provided with a vehicle.

Pros: Car conditions were really good

Cons: Tricky cheating actions for getting a higher renting price Not updating customers with important information like new dropping address

Pros: Service was great. Staff were very friendly and speaks very good english. Explained well. Collection experience was good.

Cons: Car returned garage was in ZTL. Car return timing was ZTL active time so was really confusing. Staff at return center was really rude and was told to leave the car and go. Next i received a form to say I choose not to wait and was told that the mirror that was broken during collection of the car was flagged as damaged. Not good experience.

Pros: The staff were very helpful and went out of their was to help with a ticket we received and followed up a few days later after settling the matter for us.

Cons: It took one and one half hours to pick up the car in Florence. They should have had more than one staff member working. We checked in online as advised but it made no difference as we had to supply the same information at pickup. This is a waste of time.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everythinh

Cons: They were not help when we ended up not being able to pick up our car at the location specified. They wouldn’t transfer our reservation to anywhere else, and we lost all of the money we had paid for the rental (and had to then spend more on top of that to rent elsewhere).

Cons: After hours return garage had gate closed with no easy way to figure out how to return. Had to wait in a one-way street for a long time and finally the attendant came out.

Pros: Very little

Cons: We were always the party to overcome the problems created by Noleggaire (is that Italian for No Service?)

Cons: They charged me for an dents not done by me No inspection or video was taken before renting the car and the vehicle was handed over at a junction where people were honking from behind so even we did not get a chance to take a video.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The drop off adress I requested was airport, however the address was not in the airport, and since my flight was at night I had to drive there and live car earlier since there was no shuttle from location to airport at night. When I asked for early drop off to in the city they requested extra payment.
