After we got Fumicino airport, we walked Terminal One, door 4. Then we called the car from Green Motion. Driver came & took us to GM parking. In a very short time we payed for a car, rented it and we left parking for a way to Perugia. It was very profesional, friendly and short time process..

I have used Green Motion 3 times now. No1 for value. Transport from the airport a very short distance to Green Motion was excellent.

ON arrival at the air terminal I called the number for Green Motion. I walked into the car park and the helpful driver was waiting to convey me the very short distance to their premises. I was seen right away and after the short preliminaries my car was waiting for me. I had the car for a week and on returning it to them without any fuss was conveyed back the short distance to the terminal by the same driver. Absolutely no problem or fuss.
My experience with GreenMotion was highly frustrating. It has been 35 days since I returned the hire car, yet my deposit has still not been refunded. Additionally, during pick-up, I was forced to pay a daily insurance charge, even though I had already paid for this as part of my online booking. The staff claimed that the included insurance was not valid, which felt like a scam. This lack of transparency and the prolonged wait for my deposit have left me very dissatisfied. I would not recommend this company to others based on my experience.

Good price, nice car and quick return. Got upgraded from what I booked online. The only issue is transport from Heathrow T4 to Green Motion did not turn up even after waiting 1.5 hours.

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
