GreenMotion Reviews Summary

Green Motion has garnered a generally positive reputation for its reliable customer service and well-maintained vehicles, with many customers appreciating the friendly and helpful staff throughout the rental process. The convenience of shuttle services and easy check-in and check-out procedures further enhance the customer experience. However, concerns regarding aggressive upselling of additional services and unexpected charges have emerged, leading to dissatisfaction among some customers. Overall, while the company excels in customer interaction and vehicle quality, addressing transparency in pricing and service offerings could improve customer trust and satisfaction.

Hi Jaewoon

Thank you for your five-star review.

We are thrilled that you enjoyed your rental with us.

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.

Please visit https://greenmotion.com/terms and select the country you rented from to see the deposit information which will advise the general timeframe that you can expect for the release of the deposit.
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].

We hope to see you again in the future.

Kind regards,

Green Motion International Customer Services.

Missing item
January 17, 2025

We had left a seat coustion in the front seat for my wife's wheelchair. I called it in to the front desk and was told that I had to contact the email side of your company first. I did that and had no luck finding it thru them. I also contacted your main online support service and was told to contact the spot where I dropped off the car. I did that and with no help was told to go online.

Car Hire Manchester
January 17, 2025

Car and office were very good the down side was it was nearly an hour waiting for the bus transfer from airport to office. The driver Dave was very unhelpful as well. We had 2 out of 3 people needing assistance to get onto the bus as the step was very high. He refused to assist meaning another passenger had to help them into and out of the bus.

Havaalanı ile firmanın merkezi arasında aktarma da biraz gecikme oldu, ancak arac çok hızlı şekilde bana teslim edildi. Çalışanlar gayet güler yüzlü ve neşeli idi. Araç gayet temiz bakımlı ve yeni idi.
Teslim ederkende sorunsuz şekilde gayet hızlı şekilde teslim aldılar aracı ben 4 günlğk kiralamada gayet memnun kaldım. Birdahaki gelişimde indirim de yapacaklarını söylediler ve tekrardan geldiğimde aynı yerden kiralamayı düşünüyorum.

Good with hidden horriable charges
January 12, 2025

Overall good but really shocked when I received a ticket for not paying congestion charges Green Motion also charged £68 like an extortionate charges for no reason hence I will have to pay two penalty charges.

Hi Syed R,

Thank you for your four-star review.

We are glad to hear that your overall experience with us was good. Unfortunately, when a Penalty Charge Notice is received, it is sent to the fleet company as they are the registered owner of the vehicle. They then charge Green Motion handling and 'Transfer of Liability' fees, which is why we must charge an admin fee in such circumstances. To clarify, this charge is not to provide you with a notification of the fine, as it is the responsibility of the issuing authority to do this. We would also like to take this opportunity to confirm that this charge is stated in our Terms & Conditions, which can be found at www.greenmotion.com/terms. We apologise for the inconvenience that this charge has caused you. Our team would be happy to look into this for you, if you would like to contact us by emailing us at [email protected].

We hope to see you again in the future.

Kind regards,

Green Motion International Customer Services.

As a fairly regular customer of rental cars at Istanbul Airport, i have chosen Green Motion possibly more than other providers. I am generally satisfied with the price and particularly with the efficient and friendly service of the airport staff, both at the counter and at the pick-up/drop-off point. On this occasion I was given a free upgrade which was a nice gesture. My only negative point was that while the car was of a higher specification and more comfortable, it had a quite high kilometre reading and suffered from numerous knocks and scratches. My preference in future is for a car in a generally good condition rather than higher than requested specification. All in all, however, my experience of renting with Green Motion in Turkey is good while in the UK, it is not the case.

Three good experiences
January 12, 2025

Read a lot of bad reviews about the company so was pretty nervous about using them, but I've hired a car 3 times this year and everything has worked out great. Good price, staff are friendly and pretty clear about fees / fines, no surprises when dropping it off etc. Obviously buy third party excess insurance and read the T&C's as some excess companies exclude Green Motion from their cover.

The car was good, the employees were nice, the rates were great. My only complaint would be that they're a little hard to find. They are in the parking lot at the ParkDIA. The bus driver from the airport didn't seem to know where they were. Not Green Motion's fault, but make sure you read all of the information sent from Green Motion, so that you can tell your bus driver where to go!
