I'd like to say 'thank you' to the Green Motion customer service team at the Airport Ljubljana, because the service was fast, friendly and satisfying in every aspect.
I have used Green Motion several times now and they are my first choice for car hire in the UK now. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Prices are competitive.

Green Motion debited my debit card of £400 in order to secure their Excess Insurance. 19 days since returning the car, I still have not had a refund. I've always been very satisfied with Green Motion in the past, but this time I was forced to use a debit card since my Credit Card was blocked for some reason. Because of this I had to take out Green Motion excess Insurance for £200 even though I had excess Insurance and incurred a debit of £400 on my debit card. When I collected the car, the oil warning light was on, so they changed the car. This car had low tyre pressure light on, which they "cleared" before I set off. 2 days later I realised that one of the tyres was almost flat. Pumped up at nearest garage and reset tyre pressure system. Tyre remained ok until I returned car 4 days later.

Pleasantly happy with the service and the car. The only thing that was a little bit off, and for that I don't give a 5 star, is that the location of the garage was far from the airport. Other than that all was ok.

The airport at Rovaniemi was completely crowded in the first week of January (holiday time in Germany and maybe other countries). This could be a reason why it took quite long until I got the car, even though I performed the online check-in for the car upfront already. It seemed that most of the persons in front of me didn't do the online check-in and all the data needed to be captured at the GreenMotion-desk - which of course takes a lot of time. Everything else was really great. Nice GreenMotion colleagues, English language, perfectly cleaned car without any damages even after 40,000 km. Also well-prepared for the winter season incl. Power-cable to keep the battery status during the very cold winter nights with temperatures lower than -30 degrees. I can definitely recommend GreenMotion. I would do it again next time.

This is the perfect scam. They quote you a very low rental price to hook you in, then they flood you with numerous added charges (insurance, booking fee, tolls, etc) and at the end you pay double of what you would have paid with Hertz, Avis, Enterprise or Dollar. In addition, in Miami, they claim to be "In the Terminal", but they are not. We refused to sign the contract because the terms were not consistent. What they do is they send you an e-mail a day later, with the fine print, which is not consistent with what you agreed to when you made the booking. STAY AWAY FOR THEM AT ALL COSTS!

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
