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 Paul,
Thank you for your review.
We are truly sorry to hear that you are still waiting for the return of your deposit.
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].
Thank you for your assistance and understanding.
Kind regards,
Green Motion International Customer Services.

Hired car - picked up - used - returned 3 days later - only negative is that there was no contact for me to investigate where my expensive reading glasses dropped out of my pocket - either in the car or the shuttle vehicle...

A really good experience, was greeted quickly and the check back / hand in process was easy and straight forward. A quick and efficient service between the airport and car collection depot also.
Only feed back I'd offer is make sure your credit card has at least three months before it expires. This wasn't clear and caused an issue for me when collecting the car. Its probably buried in the T&C's but I didnt see it
Hi Martin P,

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: 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
