The car hire was good, friendly staff, car clean. The deposit process is a nightmare, still waiting for a refund from 09/06 and it's 1st July. Green Motion's answer phone message is to spear to your card issuer!

Very disappointed
July 11, 2025

We had to take an insurance on the car while we had already an insurance when we booked the car. We told the guy that we had already an insurance but he told us that we needed this insurance otherwise we can't get the car. It cost us €840,- extra!

Experience was fine overall
July 11, 2025

As usual the experience was fine staff very friendly and helpful, only thing was the vehicle I was given had a lot of damage to it which was unexpected as I use Green Motion a lot and I haven't had a vehicle with this amount of damage before, but that won't affect me using Green Motion in the future.

Wouldn't use again
July 10, 2025

Three issues: 1. Trek from Heathrow airport. Shuttle doesn't come regularly enough, once you factor in additional stops and the travel on both sides, it's quite time consuming. As soon as you're sitting there at Heathrow waiting for the shuttle, already tired from travel, you're thinking, damn I should have just paid more for the convenience of a closer car. 2. I got a parking charge which I successfully contested and had cancelled but I still had to pay GreenMotion £68 admin fee which is almost double the price of other rental providers (Enterprise is £35). The fine itself would have been £100. It's outrageous that the admin fee is approaching the cost of the fine. 3. My annual third party rental car insurance specifically does not cover GreenMotion which is both frustrating and dubious and basically forces you to take their pricey premium cover.

Hi,

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

Unfortunately, when a Penalty Charge Notice is received, it is sent to the fleet company as they are the registered owner of the vehicle. They then charge Green Motion handling and 'Transfer of Liability' fees, which is why we must charge an admin fee in such circumstances. To clarify, this charge is not to provide you with a notification of the fine, as it is the responsibility of the issuing authority to do this. We would also like to take this opportunity to confirm that this charge is stated in our Terms & Conditions, which can be found at www.greenmotion.com/terms. We apologise for the inconvenience that this charge has caused you. Our team would be happy to look into this for you, if you would like 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 and understanding.

Kind regards,
