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.

We were greeted with a smile and sent off with a smile. Every detail was sent by e-mail when the vehicle was received and returned, and the deposit received was returned as soon as possible.

Arrivé tardivement à l'aéroport suite à un vol $#*!é, l'agence a pris le temps avec patience de bien tout nous expliquer (dans un français anglais) chacun y mettant de la bonne volonté et en faisant les efforts, nous avons eu l chance d'être surclassé ( fiat 500 commandée initialement nous avons reçu une kia stonic 5 portes 👍)

Phoned the Green Notion desk, phone answered almost straight away. Was directed to meet point for shuttle driver who arrived just as we did. Very pleasant man. Taken to office about 10 mins away, excellent service at the office, shown car, checked all round, signed for it and off we went. About 1/2 hour from phone call to driving away. Similarly good on returning the car.
All round good experience.

Outrageous admin fee
October 21, 2024

Whilst I understand and signed the Green Motion contract T&C's, I would like to provide feedback on your charging policy. A charge of £68 for administrative costs associated with a parking fee doesn't reflect the actual time involved in searching your database and sending out a standard email response. Even if it took one of your staff members an hour to do this, given the average hourly rate in the UK is approx £20/hour there's a massive discrepancy with your charge and reality (i.e. Equivalent to >3hrs of work). I write this response not expecting any refund but to highlight your business policy has lost a client who had a very good experience prior to this charge to now having a poor experience particularly given the parking fee was withdrawn. This is a shame as I was planning to use Green Motion next year to hire a car but given the high cost of administrative fees I've now decided to use another company.

I hope you take the opportunity to revisit this policy and charge an administrative fee that better reflects the reality of time involved.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

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].

Thank you for your assistance and understanding.

Kind regards,

Green Motion International Customer Services.

Poor company

The tank was not full, so we had to look for the gas station at night, which we did not find, and we were lucky that we still managed to reach the hotel in Füssen - 150 km. From Munich. Тhe insurance cost was the highest i have paid in just 2 days

I felt like I was being blackmailed. During a WhatsApp correspondence, there was a claim that I was involved in a traffic accident. They asked me to go to the car and that there was police. I went and found no one. After that, there was a claim that I had damaged another car. This is not true. Please follow up and review the WhatsApp corres

The company representative maneuvered and tried to deceive me.
