Green Motion's reasons for success
January 11, 2026

Green Motion practise simple economics: they cut out superficial frills by removing themselves from High Street promotions and expensive exposure. For example, at Gatwick, you'll find them in a container in a field in the outskirts of a village to which you're taken by a constantly circulating pick-up minivan. Your car is ready on the spot, with low mileage and in perfect condition. The office managers know their stuff and are extremely pleasant. The return turn-over time is unbeatable. The prices are 60% of their competitors and their information/payment flow is fast and honest.
Once you get over them not being supposed "top drawer" profile, you reap great dividends. We have both confidence and trust in Green Motion and hope it never loses its wonderful ethos!

The car shown on the website is rarely the one actually provided at the Izmir office. A completely different vehicle is usually given, which is misleading.

When this issue is raised, staff are often unhelpful and do not properly handle complaints. The Izmir office does not meet basic customer service standards and seriously damages trust in the brand.

Hi Burak,

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 using the form at www.greenmotion.com/contact.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Kind regards,

Green Motion International Customer Services.

We didn't realise where the office was when we booked the first time and probably wouldn't have booked if we had but I'm very glad we did. The staff were really lovely and not dogmatic like a lot of car hire places, they were incredibly helpful allowing to get the right size car when it turned out that the one we booked was too small. So we've booked with them again and recommend them to friends.

Refund impossible

Půjčení auta
December 21, 2025

Tak jedna hvězda dolů za vrak, který jsme dostali, místo vymazlene Hyundai I30 mrnava toyota. Omlacena ze všech stran. Musím ale říct, ze nakonec v tamnim provoze (Kréta) jsme za to byli vděční a nebáli se vyjet 🤣 auto bylo spolehlivé, půjčení i vrácení otázka par minut, do 3 dnů peníze zpět. Takže jinak hodnotím pozitivně. Určitě si zase půjčime u green motion
