An insurance scam!
May 12, 2025

An insurance scam! Additional charge of over €200, even though in France we don't have credit cards but debit cards. This seems to be the company's usual practice, given what we've seen since.

Hi K W,

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 major credit card in the main driver's name must be available for the security deposit. Please note, that your card must be classed as a credit card by its BIN to be considered a credit card. 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 email us at [email protected]

Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Green Motion International Customer Services.

Great rental Company.
May 6, 2025

Prices are good and very friendly and helpful staff. Birmingham airport location very easy and Manchester airport shuttle regular and close to the airport. Only one criticism: Both times I rented, there wasn't enough fuel to get to my destination ( well under 1/4 tank) which ment refuel
In way, delaying arrival. A Minor issue though, really. Hence only four stars. Cars clean and new. Will definitely rent again. Thank you

I wanted to hire the car for 15 days but adding an extra day past 14 almost made the payment double. This was disappointing as I ended up returning the car 1 day earlier than i wanted to.

Loved the fact that you could drop the car back without having to refuel beforehand and not being charged a fortune for doing so.

Tricky company
May 3, 2025

Good price wile looking for a rental. Easy to deal with at the rental place. A hassle to force their insurance on you. A surprise surcharge for a toll even if a cash lane was used.
The car model I was given was the Dodge Charger. It's a great car, but not very comfortable for a woman to drive. The gas pedal and brake pedal (especially) are too high. Unless you're driving in high-heeled shoes, your feet wouldn't even touch the ground. It was quite uncomfortable. But the condition of the car was good. Another thing for visitors to bear in mind when choosing this company is that they only accept a few American insurances. And the price of insurance will be as high as the price you pay for a week's car rental.
Another thing to consider: a SanPass transponder on the car. I said NO when at the rental place they ask me if I need one. I took a cash lane to exit a paying freeway and still received a bill because my car's transponder remained active.

We've used GreenMotion for quite some time now without issues but this time it wasn't a great start. The bus was an hour before picking us up due to issues. They didn't have an SUV which we ordered and when we got a pickup truck it wasn't ready for use. We complained (quite rightly) but they resolved the issue with an upgrade to a luxury SUV. Lots of apologies too. Would we use them again? Yes, of course! Issues happen but how they are resolved is what really counts.
