Met on arrival at the airport. Concluded in the parking lot. Staff very courteous and helpful. Drop off was the same. Next time in South Africa will most certainly use again.
The car I picked up was brand new and bigger than I was expecting. The customer service guys were very helpful.
Pickup from airport was quick and easy to arrange.

All was already set for the rental while coming in the office…No wasted time in line…The guy was waiting for us with the car in the parking lot. No waste of time…The same while coming back to the garage at the end of the trip. No need to get back to the office after car check. Very professionnal. But keep in mind the car body is fully and carefully checked for scratches before you leave, so it will be carefully scanned while coming back. All was OK for us…So be careful of scratches opportunities while you drive, park or take ferries, narros roads etc…

It could have been better. The tires were low on air. The engine kept stalling out making it difficult to drive. Eventually it hit a curb when the steering went hard and caused some damage. Otherwise it was fine. Nice staff.

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: We booked twice, everything in best order. No problems.

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
