GreenMotion Reviews Summary

Green Motion has garnered a generally positive reputation for its reliable customer service and well-maintained vehicles, with many customers appreciating the friendly and helpful staff throughout the rental process. The convenience of shuttle services and easy check-in and check-out procedures further enhance the customer experience. However, concerns regarding aggressive upselling of additional services and unexpected charges have emerged, leading to dissatisfaction among some customers. Overall, while the company excels in customer interaction and vehicle quality, addressing transparency in pricing and service offerings could improve customer trust and satisfaction.

On the first lease day I got yellow warning light. I had a problem with my right back tyre of the car Renault Megane. I contacted couple of times the lease contact service and Renault service came within one hour. They could not hel because it s the tyre there was inflated small balloon. Renault tecnical service reported to Customer service of Green Motion. Technical service clarified and recommended not to drive the car. I asked leasing service to change this car and contacted 10 times but unfortunately nobody is going to solve this problem. I paid for the Full casco insurance and the leasing costs. After 6 hours waiting I am sad due to lack of service and Greenmotion can not help to fix this problem.

BAD EXPIRIENCE
August 22, 2024

Good day

We made a reservation for a car, reservation number WOS-**************. On the official website of green motion. The reservation was confirmed. At 11:00 we were at the green motion counter at the airport. There was no representative at the counter. The contact number indicated in the reservation did not answer, we called several times. We went to the next window to the AVIS representative. She said that she would call the representative. He picked up the phone and said that there were no cars, and this was some kind of mistake, asked to cancel the reservation. We explained that we needed a car, and if we canceled the reservation, the deposit would be written off. The representative said he would cancel the order. The fact of presence at this time can be confirmed by the Avis representative, and the cameras at the airport. There is no cancellation yet, and no refund either. There is no communication, and if there are no cars, for what reason is the reservation made?

Well done greenmotion.
August 22, 2024
Updated review

All's good with the car rental, as usual with GreenMotion. Pick-up and return go smoothly.
I don't always get the car I 'ordered' on the website, though as they say, it's equivalent, and the price is as posted. Not a big deal. And the cars seem to be new models, always in good shape.
One issue I have with these 'new' models though is that they become more 'electronic' by the day.
One example with my latest - Dacia - was the radio, which wasn't even a radio, with dial/knobs, not even digital tuner, but was on the stick on the steering wheel.
I don't appreciate all this new electronic controls, I don't have a hour to sit in the parking lot trying to figure out how to even turn on the radio, or change stations... or to work the air conditioning, and once on the road am afraid to touch anything for fear of the car shutting down and not being able to restart it.
These electronics are really getting to be out of hand.
This model though handled well, good pickup...

Anyway, once on the road all was Ok. Though I didn't touch the radio again, or anything else. Had it only for a day so viss bija kartiba. All Ok.

BEWARE
August 17, 2024

BEWARE! This seems like a type of scam company. You get lured with cheap rental price and then they want you to take out their insurance, you have to prove you have insurance they then want to take a copy of passport and driving license info and then put a holding charge of $2,500 on your cc, even though you can prove you have full insurance. Short staffed and rude and locations are a nightmare, waited over two hours for the bus and in line at London Gatwick and then thr next stage of the scam is to find something tiny on the car that can't be captured on a photo and tell you that you have to pay for it and money will be debited from your CC, even though you have photos to prove the small scratch on the hubcap was there at pick up! Please for your sanity stay away from using this rip off company! IF YOU DO USE THEM, FILM THEM AT PICK UP AND DROP OFF AND TAKE LOTS OF DETAILED PHOTOS! I've contacted Martin Lewis and the head of Expedia whom I booked the car through!

Good service, great location
August 14, 2024

Have used Green Motion twice in the past couple of months for both long and short term hire. Easy to use Green Motion app, competitive pricing, clear email instructions. Professional, polite team - nice to have human interaction for pick up and drop off. Great central London location - this is unusual. Hussam did a great job trying to upsell me a free upgrade, cheap petrol, new car etc but failed to convince me with his charms. In the end, he still gave a free upgrade and a new car despite my protests to keep things simple. With such nice guys who recognize a returning customer, guess I have no choice but to return again.

Delay in refund of security deposit
August 9, 2024

My car rental ended on 27 June and as at 29 July I have still not received the refund of the (large) security deposit I paid at the start of the rental. This is disappointing as the actual service provided by the Greenmotion staff was excellent.

Date of experience: July 30, 2024
Natalie F. GreenMotion Rep

Hi Frederick,

Thank you for your review.

We are truly sorry to hear that you are still waiting for the return of your deposit.

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.

Please visit https://greenmotion.com/terms and select the country you rented from to see the deposit information which will advise the general timeframe that you can expect for the release of the deposit.

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.

Thank you for your assistance and understanding.

Kind regards,

Green Motion International Customer Services.

Hi Andrea,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Unfortunately, when a Penalty Charge Notice is received, it is sent to the fleet company as they are the registered owner of the vehicle. They then charge Green Motion handling and 'Transfer of Liability' fees, which is why we must charge an admin fee in such circumstances. To clarify, this charge is not to provide you with a notification of the fine, as it is the responsibility of the issuing authority to do this. We would also like to take this opportunity to confirm that this charge is stated in our Terms & Conditions, which can be found at www.greenmotion.com/terms. We apologise for the inconvenience that this charge has caused you. Our team would be happy to look into this for you, if you would like to contact us using the form at www.greenmotion.com/contact.

Thank you for your assistance and understanding.

Kind regards,

Green Motion International Customer Services.
