Die Rückgabe ging schnell und unkompliziert. Ein erster Sichtcheck und Prüfung ergab keine Mängel. Allerdings bekam ich kein Rückgabeprotokoll - was schon merkwürdig war. Doch obwohl ich das Auto ohne Schaden unter Zeugen zurückgegeben habe, gab es eine erweiterte Prüfung. Dabei wurde angeblich eine minimale Delle < 25mm gefunden. Jedoch gab es keine Rückmeldung vom Vermieter zum angeblichen Schaden. Stattdessen wurde das Auto direkt zur nächsten Garage zur Reparatur gebracht. (die übrigens zur selben Firma gehört). 5 Tage nach Abgabe des Wagens, kam dann eine Mail mit angeblichen Beweisfotos und die Gesamtrechnung von 593,26 CHF. Und natürlich war der Betrag schon meiner der Kreditkarte belastet worden. Ich habe kein Auto und miete seit über 20 Jahren regelmässig Mietwagen - so ein unseriöses Verhalten habe ich noch nicht erlebt. Mehrfache Anrufe wurden nicht beantwortet. Erst nach meinem schriftlichem Wiederspruch, kam eine Rückmeldung mit Belehrung und Verweis auf die AGB. Ich kann nur sagen Finger weg von dieser Firma. Zumal ich offensichtlich nicht der einzige bin, der ähnliches erlebt hat. Und immer darauf achten, mit der Rückgabe eine verbindliches Rückgabeprotokoll sofort zu erhalten.

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
