I received a car in very good condition. It has been wormed as it was very cold outside. The pick up as well return was easy.

Půjčil jsem si vozidlo, které nemělo šrouby u kola. Auto jsem vyměnil, náhradní vozidlo při zastavení zhaslo, závada na vozidle byla od jeho převzetí. S touto závadou jsem pronájem dokončil. Byla mi naúčtována neoprávněně úhrada poškození, které jsem nezpůsobil. Připravuji postupy, jak vymáhat zpět peníze. Informuji všechny recenze.

I had a Skoda Kamiq, which was totally fine for 1 or 2 incl. Baggage. Only negative thing was the aggressive sale of additional services (unlimited mileage, insurance, refueling service etc.) After rejecting any further services everything was perfect. Nice car - nice trip!

Green Motion was the best for me in the way they handled customers. From the online experience to the front desk team, they are just awesome and a place to go if you need to hire/rent a vehicle at competitive prices.
They also offer car drop-offs and pick-ups within the vicinity of their offices, which is absolute convenience.

I booked a big car like Passat T-Modell. But the Station give me a smaler car category as booked. I requested some money, no answer until now.
Hi Joern,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We are truly sorry to hear that you did not receive the vehicle that you were hoping for. As do most rental companies, Green Motion use the ACRISS code system to categorise vehicles for hire. More details on this can be found at https://www.acriss.org/car-codes/expanded-matrix/
If you wish to discuss this matter further, or feel that you were not provided with a vehicle in the correct vehicle category, please feel free to contact us using the form at www.greenmotion.com/contact.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

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
