The Green Motion is scam company do not rent from them you will spoil your holiday, check reviews do not make the same mistake as i did.
Their cars are full of scratches. Of course i took pictures of all the scratches and marked them ine the contract.
But there are hidden places which is impossible to notice in trunk motor apartment under the car ect...
Or simply they will send you damage photos from another vehicule most of them are the same colors and models. They know that is impossible for you to go back and check it.
It is franchise company, you have to fight on both sides with the local company and headquarters
My flight was delayed and then diverted due to adverse weather conditions and I had to get a taxi across London to pick up my car. Upon arrival I was told that my car had been given away and I was charged for an upgrade despite the fact that they had been kept appraised of my delay throughout the afternoon. I contested the upgrade fee but was told that I was not eligible for a refund. Very disappointing overall.
My flight was delayed then reservation was cancelled by green motion, because they leave at 7pm. It was very inconvenient as I was waiting for the shuttle bus that never came. Then I lost my $21 deposit, they would not give it back to me. Terrible experience.
From start to finish, from booking and finalising payment. Was hassle free, stress free and helpful, polite and all done with a cheery personality. Thank you so much for making my wee sad trip into a happy one.

The only problem I had was that to book direct was more expensive than an intermediary even though I have reserved direct before and have used Green motion for years

Sent an email telling me that I have not paid a Dartford crossing charge, which I accepted was my fault. Replied to email and still have had No reply!
It was my second time i rent a van with GreenMotion in Lapland.
Everything was perfect and the car i rent was equal to what i asked.
I will for sure rent again with them for my next trip.

We hired two vehicles for 10 days. Staff greeted us and were very pleasant but proceeded to hard upsell us on higher cost vehicles and would not accept our credit card insurance. The result was the rental cost twice as much as expected and the deposit hold £1,600(!) was not released for over a month, although Green Motion claim that was the credit card providers fault not theirs. Won't use them again - stick with major brands. They are expensive but at least straightforwards.
My car developed a major fault and as we are a one car household, we needed to get another vehicle for a fortnight. It was my first time hiring a car and also my first time driving a hybrid. Green Motion made the experience easy and efficient. Moreover, their quote was great value for money.

We had booked our rental for the Tampa International Airport. Once there we found out Green Motion was NOT at the airport and didnt have a shuttle(claim they do) We tried to call but the only phone number provided was an international number not a local number. We found them online and the number was an 877 number not local for Tampa. We booked an Uber, got to site to only find out our reservation listed as no show since we werent there within 2 hours of flight. We were told on site, NOT, you try getting baggae, head to rental center, find out off site, go to shuttle area for off sit. No Green Motion shuttle, no answer at the 877 number, i tried 8 times. Once on scene (430ish) supposed to arrive in Tampa 205 rental start at 200? Rental before we land? I have NEVER heard of rental being canceled for that. Staff at site extremely rude, non compassionate and disrespectful. Terrible, do not use. In the week we were in Tampa 4 other 1 star reviews, 2 with same issue we had. Crooks
Easy to use website and great price. Would definitely use this company again

Answer: DON'T do it. They advertise low and sting you at the counter! Clerks hard sell additional insurance (they get a commission). In Glasgow, Scotland this last August, they tried to get me to pay $800 in insurance to cover a ten day rental that was about $35 a day! Many people have posted about scams where they charged unsuspecting customers for "damages" that were already on the car but the customer may not notice, like a tiny chip in the windshield or a small scratch on the door edge.
Answer: Speeding/parking tickets and police action are slow. They keep the deposit until they are sure there will be no problems with any of those costs. (and yeah, would be speeding fine + massive green motion fee).
Answer: Hi E. B. Thank you for your question. I can confirm that security deposits are automatically released by Green Motion on the last day of your rental after it has been established that the rental vehicle has been returned in the same condition as it was provided, and there are no further outstanding charges. Whilst in most cases this is available again within 10 working days, unfortunately, this can take up to 30 days depending on the bank that you use. We suggest that you contact your bank as they may be able to speed this process up for you. Green Motion's policy is to use pre-authorised transactions for our security deposits, which ring-fence the amount within your account, not charge it. This pre-authorised transaction will allow us to make charges if necessary at the end of the rental, but unless this occurs no money will leave your account. Due to the nature of this transaction, the release of these funds may not show on your bank statement as a separate transaction. If you believe that you have been charged your security deposit, please contact your bank and ask them to provide proof of the transaction as a charge on the first day of your rental so that we can look further into this for you. If this amount is still not available in your account after 30 days from the last day of your rental, please contact us at escalation@cs.greenmotion.com. Kind regards, Green Motion International Customer Services.

Answer: I believe Green Motion are a perfectly fair and respectful company. I suspect you didn't read their Ts&Cs properly. The two customers being served while I was collecting my car had also not read/understood the conditions and were caught by surprise. The representative dealt with them firmly but fairly.
Answer: They are robbers and scammers, never think to rent a car from green motion, they will charge you thousands of euros, instead buy a new car
Hi Abdallah,
Thank you for taking the time to review us.
We are very sorry to hear that your experience with Green Motion Morocco fell below your expectations. As you are aware, your case has been fully reviewed by our customer services team and the damage charge has been found to be valid. The vehicle was brought back with extensive structural damage, which could not have been missed upon inspection and impacted the safety of the vehicle, requiring an immediate repair. We feel that our team followed their processes correctly and the charges made were fair and in accordance to your excess amount and our Terms & Conditions.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Kind regards,
Green Motion International Customer Services.
