Great service!

Highly recommend Green Motion Leicester. Lovely friendly staff, great cars and I have never had a problem hiring from this branch. I have been a regular customer for the past few years and have hired from many car rentals across the world. This branch is by far the best I have come across! Thank you!

Avoid at all cost!
August 24, 2025

What a complete bunch of scammers! We hired a car from Edinburgh airport (for the third time) but my credit card was charged the £1505 deposit the day we collected the car 14/5/25. Upon returning the car on 21/5/25 we were told the deposit would be returned within 7-30 days. In the meantime I called the office and was told they couldn't say when we would be reimbursed but to email them, which I did but received a standard response telling not to email! On 20/6/25 I again emailed asking where my refund was but received no reply. After a further week I eventually had my bank place the charge into dispute. It has since taken until 12/8/25 to be refunded. I have hired cars in various locations over many years but have NEVER actually been charged the deposit, just had it held against my card and then released upon the return of the vehicle undamaged. This company had £1505 of my money for three months and I am still doubtful if I would have it now had I not involved my bank. Appalling customer service and a totally underhand way to deal with customers. They may be cheap but as they say "you get what you pay for". Our advice is to NOT TOUCH THIS COMPANY WITH A BARGE POLE!"

Hi John,

Thank you for your review.

We sincerely regret the frustration caused by the delayed refund process and the lack of clear communication on our part. Your experience clearly fell short of our standards, and we're committed to improving our policies and responsiveness to rebuild trust. Unfortunately, during your rental we faced an unexpected issue with the deposit process.

Thank you for sharing your feedback so we can do better.

Kind regards,

Green Motion International Customer Services.

No visa surcharges
August 23, 2025

Make sure you have a visa card or prepare for big extra costs. My visa debit wasn't accepted and because of not having a credit card I then had to pay a no excess insurance daily charge. Visa debit is accepted worldwide as an alternative to a visa credit card yet this company has no alternate way to pay.

Hi Steve B,

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

We are extremely sorry to hear that you found our deposit requirements to be unexpected. Green Motion make every effort to inform customers during the booking process that a physical, major credit card in the main driver's name must be available for the security deposit. If you do not have a credit card, you may be offered an excess reduction product to negate this requirement. Our Terms & Conditions on this matter can be found at www.greenmotion.com/terms. If you would like to discuss this further with us please feel free to contact us by using the form at www.greenmotion.com/contact-us. Please include a link to your review in the description box so that our team can locate your complaint.

Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Green Motion International Customer Services.
