I was renting a car for 1.5 days, but had to pay the full car cleaning fee of 20 euros, but I returned essentially a clean car back. I really think that for short term rents when clean cars are returned a discount to the standard cleaning fee of 20 euros should be applied, otherwise it is just an unfair money making. It might look good from the business perspective when you charge money for the job you will not need to do, but from the customer's perspective it looks ugly. I asked for a discount for the cleaning fee at the desk, but was refused it. However, when I rented a car from you in August in Kaunas airport, I had to pay only 15 euros instead of 20 euros, because the car was not cleaned properly, which made sense.
Hi Aleksej,
Thank you for your review.
We are very sorry to hear that your experience with us was affected by this cleaning charge. This is stated in our Terms & Conditions as follows:
+++
Vehicle Cleaning
The vehicle should be returned clean. Cleaning service fee is not included in the rate. The cleaning service fee is 15 EUR payable locally during pick up and 25 EUR if the car is returned dirty, payable locally during drop off. In cases where the vehicle has been returned dirty without prior cleaning service purchase, charges of 20 EUR may apply.
If the vehicle is exceptionally dirty upon return or if there is damage to the seats, seat upholstery or the carpets, an additional charge of up to 150 EUR will apply for deep cleaning. This charge will be dependent upon the actual state of the vehicle when returned.

Do not trust the underhand, money-grabbing methods of Green Motion. As per normal for car rental companies, I was offered the extra insurance what they called 'a cost reduction package' I explicitly stated that I did not require this. I had already pre-paid £254.62. I certainly was not going to pay an extra £224.50 for insurance that I did not require. Immediately after stating that I definitely did not want to pay the extra money, the salesclerk said that he just needed to swipe my card to take a deposit which is normal course of action, so I did not hesitate to sign. Upon returning the vehicle I waited for the deposit to be returned but 3 weeks later it had not been returned so I contacted customer services who told me that I would not be getting my money returned as this was a fee for extra insurance. The extra insurance that I declined! They fraudulently took this money and refused to return it. They are a despicable and unethical company, avoid at all costs unless you want to be ripped off.
Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for your review.
We are very sorry to hear that you encountered an unexpected charge at the rental desk.

Other than finding the place, the adress was not in my email, so i went to the car village, then told where to go, put that to one side the service was excellent, the person who attended me was called Drew, i know they are paid to be nice and polite to the customer, but he was down to earth, not full of bull$#*! like others, and i have hired lots of cars, explained everthing in plain English, honestly, talked to you like a person, explained all the ways to pay, IN PLAIN ENGLISH, i would certainly reccomend Green Motion to anyone, but you have to look after Drew, because i belive he is looking after you and your best interests,
Best wishes, Robin Nichola Rennie

Overall a very good experience, no delays with collection and none with return. Free shuttle form airport was a big help too, straight to the pickup and back again to the airport
Hi Ivan,
Thank you for your five-star review.
We are very pleased that you had a good experience with your rental from us and that the shuttle service was of value to you.
We hope to see you again in the future.

Car was as advertised, ready when we arrived and had no issues Over the 2. Weeks we had it. Return was simple and quick. The only negative was the shuttle bus, hard to find on arriving having incorrect instructions. Also, someone should probably show the timetable to the drivers.
Hi Neil.
Thank you for your five-star review.
We are glad that you had no problems with your rental with us. We apologise for any issues that you had with the shuttle service.
We hope to see you again in the future.

Answer: I have used them many times, always cheapest, always very new cars, always charming and helpful staff ( Stansted Airport). Every firm will try to get you to upgrade. Buy a 3rd party policy, and just say you have your own cover. Up to now I have never been scammed. I ALWAYS inspect the vehicle before. I drive off. I take photos and make sure I get it inspected and signed off by staff when I take it back.
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
