A funcionária foi excelente, simpatica e explicou bem os termos do contrato. Na devolução tambem nao tive qualquer problema e foi extremamente rápido. Recomendo

Good advice and helpful. Only disappointment was the fact we had to pay for insurance that we had already purchased and didn't need to.

Picked up a car from the Cape Town depot which is a little Uber ride from the cruise terminal. The rep Gary? Said he could have dropped the car off at the terminal for us which is good to know. Great day driving the Cape and met him to drop off at the terminal. Really good communication and a nice little Polo for good price.

Hired a Polo off a cruise ship for a day driving around the Cape. Great way of doing it. Picked up at depot but Gary advised we could have been met at the cruise terminal. Really helpful guy Good car and lovely day driving 163kms around seeing all the sights for a fraction of the cruise excursion costs. Dropped off at the terminal with no hassle handover. Thoroughly recommend.
Very satisfied with my rental car and service provided. Will definitely use again

Dobila sam skoro nov auto, a usluga je bila jako brza i nekomplicirana. Transfer od aerodroma do poslovnice i vozač 👍🏻. Cijena isto tako jako prihvatljiva. Zelena karta nije inkluzivna u cijenu i mislim da je malo preskupa.
I used the car not good it old i complete fast and important..

We took the shuttle bus from Heathrow to the rental location. This was a bit confusing as the bus went at different times than expected and the hire company name had changed. Hopefully that is now sorted out.
The collection was slow as a customer ahead of us wasn't prepared for their rental. However another staff member arrived and dealt with us promptly and courteously.
The car was clean and a better model than expected. Leaving the Heathrow area was ok as the signage was fairly clear.
Drop off was very easy. We took a taxi back to the airport.

I got an earlier flight & called for a pick up at the airport. I was informed as I was so early I would have to pay an extra £50. I agreed as I wanted to get going I'd been traveling since 2am! When I got to the office the lovely young woman said as the car was there & waiting I didn't need to pay the early fee. I was so pleased & got on my way in no time after the paperwork was completed. The car had a full tank so I was off. I used the car every day & it was fine. On return the hand over was smooth the inspection went well & I was taken back to the terminal. I will definitely use GreenMotion again on my next trip to Glasgow.

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
