Great service - Only after returning the car, getting dropped off at the airport and going through security did i realise that i left my wallet in the car. Upon phoning, greenmotion got my wallet and brought it all the way through the airport to the security check (i wasnt allowed to go back out through security) Security then past my wallet to me. A life saver, as i was travelling onwards and had immediate need of it

Check-in process take too long compared to other Rental companies. Insurance coverage $40 PER DAY! Is unreasonable; company does not honor prepaid discount insurance (avg: $10-12/day) from Exoedia, Hotwire Priceline or other brokers. Nice staff but frustratingly SLOW process - you are better off either Thrifty or Economy car rental if you in a hurry or value your time.

Green Motion took 10 euros from my account for an apparent case of traffic violation without refusing to provide any valid proofs of what exactly happened and where. Green Motion kept saying I have to get in touch with the Albanian police and investigate myself. Not only completely unhelpful but also impossible as I am not the owner of the car and only such is entited for such procedures.
Hi Michal,
Thank you for your review.
We are very sorry for any inconvenience that this situation may have caused you. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide the fines themselves as they must be issued to you by the issuing authorities. As the liability of the fine has been transferred to yourself, the Albanian police will be able to find the fine with your details.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kind regards,
Green Motion International Customer Services.
Lots of hidden fees that make hire more expensive than the real car hire brands. Fees like cleaning charges and late fees for arriving at 1930 to an airport rental company! It's much cheaper to use the real rental companies who already include these costs in the price you book

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
