Last time I booked with you, I turned up only to be told there were no vehicles of the type I had booked available. I was then offered a series of unsuitable alternatives before being offered a vehicle of the type I had booked, which had accident damage and which was filthy inside and full of junk. Because I had travel commitments, I had no choice but to accept. The member of staff was overly familiar - I object to being repeatedly addressed as 'Bruv' by a complete stranger. I was told the mix-up was because I had booked through a 3rd party website - my response that I had booked 2 weeks in advance and had emailed to check you had the booking received no coherent reply.
Whilst I was waiting to be served on my arrival at the collection point, I overheard the same member of staff giving horribly inaccurate directions to the customers in front of me. I suggest he learns how to use Google Maps.
In addition, the female member of staff was quite rude and offhand to me when I returned the vehicle.

Similar car was not similar it was a ruin but anyway, at least it didn't fall apart, real Greek adventure
Hi Jure,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We are truly sorry to hear that you did not receive the vehicle that you were hoping for. As do most rental companies, Green Motion use the ACRISS code system to categorise vehicles for hire. More details on this can be found at https://www.acriss.org/car-codes/expanded-matrix/
If you wish to discuss this matter further, or feel that you were not provided with a vehicle in the correct vehicle category, please feel free to contact us by emailing us at [email protected]
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
Kind regards,
Green Motion International Customer Services.
The service at the location (at airport Tirana) was very nice, but we did not get the deposit back in time. Only when we asked for it, it was refunded. That scared us a bit... Eventually we did get it back and I simply hope it's not going to be like that again, but it made it a stressfull experience in the end. Also, getting a Fiat Punto instead of a Volkswagen Polo was a big disappointment. I understand that there's a range in the category, but we did not feel like those cars were comparable. I don't remember the exact date, but it was sometime in November
Hi Vincent,
Thank you for sharing your experience.
We’re sorry for the delay in your deposit refund and the stress it caused, as well as the letdown with the vehicle swap—we appreciate your feedback and are committed to making these parts of our service much smoother. If you wish to discuss this with our customer services team, please contact us using the form at www.greenmotion.com/contact-us.
Thank you for your assistance.

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 [email protected]. 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
