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.

The information is clear, especially regarding insurance. So many times I get to the pick up counter and I hear people who are confused regarding deposit payments. To me the website is clear.

I am extremely disappointed with this experience (BOOKING REF: WOS-**************). I paid for a confirmed reservation, but only at the last minute was I told that the car would not be provided. No one warned me in advance, no proper solution was offered, and I was left with no choice but to deal with the situation on the spot.

What makes this even worse is that I was then pushed to make a new reservation without insurance, which felt unfair and misleading. It gave the impression that I was being asked to pay again under worse conditions after already paying once. This is not acceptable customer service, and it has caused me serious inconvenience, stress, and loss of time.

I am requesting a full refund immediately and a proper explanation for why my reservation was not honored. I expect this matter to be escalated to a supervisor and resolved without further delay.

Hi Giorgos,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand how frustrating this situation must have been.

For clarity, your reservation was serviced; however, additional insurance was required at the counter in order to proceed with the rental. These requirements form part of the rental conditions agreed at the time of booking and must be met before a vehicle can be released.

To discuss the specific reasons this additional coverage was necessary in your case, we will need to review your reservation directly. As this involves personal booking details, we are unable to provide further information in a public forum.

Please contact us via our form at www.greenmotion.com/contact-us so our customer services team can assist you.

Kind regards,

Green Motion International Customer Services.

I have found all the staff at green motion Heathrow to be very pleasant and non pushy! When we hire we do go for premium + so it takes away all the worry of stone chips or cracked glass, so when we return it's just drop and go!

Always deal direct
April 9, 2026

People need to realise it is always better to book direct. I am a frequent user as i live in ireland and work in norfolf. Renting from green motion is cheaper than buying a car in the uk. If you are sure about the car parking where you are going it is cheaper to bear the excess in case of damage, costs £over 1500 but is returned to your credit card the day after you leave the car back. The staff are really decent.

Upon my arrival, my car was already warm and ready to go. I opted for full insurance and everything was executed seamlessly. Booking my second trip with them while I am writing this review.

Would definitely recommend as they also have a great fleet available to rent from.
