My husband found out about ECO-RENT through trip advisor. Our rental experience was wonderful! We had 11 members of my entire family - people of all ages and experience levels with bike riding and everyone had a fantastic time! The guide was great, the picnic lunch was lovely and they were so accommodating. We even brought my niece, who was just 1 year old, and they let one of my family members ride in the van with her so she could come along. It was a great day for everyone!
Our pre-rental assistance was very helpful. They told us what we needed to bring and wear and coordinated our route for us based on what we wanted.
The bikes (We thought the bikes were great, comfortable and easy to ride) were delivered on time with the guide ready to help get everyone set up. The bike fitting was great, especially considering the fact that we had 10 different family members on bikes and we are all different ages and sizes, but still they had a bike to fit everyone.
Thanks!

A group of 8 of us used Ecorent recently to hire bicycles for a 4 day tour around Florence. Daniele did a fantastic job for us. All 8 bikes arrived on time and were in great condition. No nasty surprises and great value.

Thanks very much- I would definately use you again in the future.

I led a large group of cyclists (34) for Bicycle Adventure Club (www.bicycleadventureclub.org) south of Pisa about 1 hour in early September 2009 for 10 days. Of the 34 riders about 20 or so rented bikes from Daniele and his folks at Ecorent.
Daniele did a fabulous job for us! Upon returning from Pisa on our shuttle he had all 20 of the bikes unloaded and well marked to identify which bikes belonged to individuals in the group. Very organized. Not only was checkout easy but he was there to make any adjustments as necessary.
The only problem we encountered was that our group was so large we stripped him of his inventory and some folks who had wanted road bikes had to make do with hybrids. However, everyone knew this in advance and there were no surprises. And, right on cue, Daniele returned 10 days later as promised to pick up the bikes without issue.
I would highly recommend using Daniele and Ecorent if you are coming to the area. As a matter of fact, we have another trip coming next September (2010) and plan to use him again! Great service and really nice folks. Great job Daniele!

I rented a bike from Pisa airport the week b4 last. Everything was fine - the guy turned up pretty much on time both ends, fitted the pedals etc quickly, plus gave me a lift to get away from the airport. The bike was good, seemed well-maintained. My only suggestion is that some directions on how to get to and from airports would be great.. I understand that you're renting a bike not providing a tour guiding service. But I found that once out in Tuscany I was able to find my way around very easily but getting to the airport whilst staying of the motorway was ticky.

Cheers Garrie

Ciao. Some feedback as requested:

I found Eco-Rent through a referral from Randotrek, another Italian bike rental company, who said Tuscany was too far for them. Eco-Rent did not come up on Google searches.

My rental experience with Eco-Rent was absolutely first-class. It more than met my expectations and was critical in helping me fulfill my Tuscan cycling fantasy.

The bikes offered were of appropriate quality for my needs. The fitting sheet and subsequent contact with Daniele reassured me the bike would suit my riding.

The delivery worked perfectly. Daniele delivered the bike to San Gimigniano as promised and quickly fine-tuned it. Paperwork and payment were a breeze. Returning the bike was easy too. He had a partner shop centrally located in Poggibonsi.

The Giant TCR (only the aluminum model was avaiable during my rental) was as comfortable as my carbon Trek. The bike performed perfectly; altough a spoke broke on the last day. Not too bad for 500+ hard kilometers in 5 days.

I highly recommend Eco-Rent. It allowed me to travel light and without hassles.

My one suggestion would be for the site to improve its search engine rankings. As previously stated, the site did not rank on the first three Google pages for "bike rentals in Tuscany."

My suggestion for anyone who wants to ride in the Chianti region: do your hill training well in advance. Many hills; one after the other. Doable but requires conditioning.

Grazie Mille.

We had a fantastic guided tour around Casciana Terme and environs from Danielle and his crew. The route was just what we were looking for, our guide knowledgeable and friendly and the experience great! Good equipment and plenty of hills! We would strongly recommend his Ecorent to anyone coming to Tuscany.

We rented 2 Vespa LX125 for 4 days and travelled around in Toscane. The landscape is beautiful but riding a Vespa made it a thousand times more beautiful.
Daniele gave us a good briefing for the roadbook.
This roadbook was very useful and easy to follow. We ride through pittoreque villages and very beautiful nature.
We have a Vespa at home, but even when you had never ride one of them, it is very easy!!
Every day Daniele send us a message to find out how our trip was.
We had a very good time and it hurts to leave the Vespa's behind. We surely will come back to ride the Vespa's!!
Thank you Daniele!!!!

Wow. Service from Daniele was outstanding. We rented 5 road bikes and a very nice (brand new) Boxer 9 passenger van from Eco Rent in May, 2009. AS the person responsible for organizing a group of people at a rented villa in Tuscany renting road bikes for one week, and I could NOT have had better help organizing, choosing bikes, setting up fit, gear ratios, etc, as we had a variety of abilities within the group.

Daniele was a tremendous asset in the planning before we left the US, and he delivered the bikes to our villa before we arrived, helped make final fit adjustments, he even met us at the airport, and navigated us and the rental van to the villa from the Pisa airport. Pick up of the bike and van were prompt and professional.

The quality of the bikes was very high. As a competitive triathlete, I LOVED riding the Giant Carbon Fiber road bike up and down the gorgeous Tuscan countryside.

Thanks again Daniele and Ecorent for making my trip a memorable and enjoyable adventure.

<strong>I had a great time crusin' around in Tuscany on a vespa from ECO-rent.</strong>
Daniele answared my questions rapidly by e-mail before booking and was right on time at delivery.
He even mounted a rack on the vehicle for my backpack! Vespa LX125 is a great vehicle throughout the step Tuscan hills.
I found out about ECO-rent while searching on the Internet. Haven't heard about the company before, but I won't hesitate hire from Daniele again.

We rented 4 Giant hybrid bikes with Ecorent, which was easily found by Google. The website looks good and gives a good impression of the material Ecorent offers.

When we picked up the bikes, they were well maintained, the sizes according to our requests and the equipment delivered with the bikes was complete.

The responses to our pre-rental e-mails were promptly answered by Daniele and everything agreed upon was carried out in a correct way.

We picked up the bikes at the workshop of Ecorent and were able to have the bikes fit exactly to our requirements.

All in all we would like to compliment Ecorent with the great material, the high level of service and the easy way to get everything arranged. We would recommend everybody who wants to bike in Tuscany to rent his bike with Ecorent.

How did you find out about ECORENT?
>By searching on google.it
How was your rental experience?
>So great. The scooter was very well maintained (brakes, pneumatic tyre,…) size and comfort were perfect for two persons, as well on road as in cities, the storage compartment is really big and enough to put the 2 helmets and more… Pefect to ride across the country side and cities in Toscana ( Pisa, Firenze, Chianti area and Siena during one week)
How was your pre-rental assistance with the ECO-RENT staff?
>Quick and kind answer.
Bikes/Scooters delivery?
>Right on time, and wherever you want. We could give it back at the airport, only one hour before taking off.
The web site?
>Website is quite userfriendly. But need more references on google, even abroad (what about being referenced on the French guide : le routard).
Finaly:
>We were very satisfied and if we come back in Toscan we definitely rent again at your place.

We, a family of 8 persons, rented for a week 8 Vespas by EcoRent
The Vespas wore just in time delivered in front of the Pisa airport terminal so we could start our tour and holiday directly.
We have had a wunderfull week in Toscane with good trips and we ended again on the airport. Good service !!!
Everything we agreed with Daniele was oke, so we can give a warm recommendation for Ecorent and Daniele and his staf.

Jeroen

Rented a Vespa for 1 day in early May. Was a fantastic day out to see the sourounding countryside of Tuscany! Drove by the sea, through small widing hill roads and drank coffee in small cafes with just the locals. Ecorent were superb from start to finish. I emailed (more than once) to ask about the Vespa and their reply was quick and to the point. Delivery was as promised and the Vespa was gorgeous! As for price there is no better deal within the Pisa area to be found.

A great thank you to Daniele and the team!

Xavier Harel

Ponctual and friendly service, the motorini was great for visiting Lucca and surrounding villages!

Ian BARNES

Thanks for your help in renting the 2 hybrid bikes. We were very pleased with your prompt responses to our queries, with your prompt arrivals at the airport and with the quality and reliability of the bikes. Thanks. We would definitely recommend your services to other people.
