Great customer service
June 12, 2024

This was my 4th time hiring a car with GreenMotion and the customer service has always been great. I have found the staff to be friendly and knowledgeable. Valter served me today and even though he is new and still learning I still received excellent customer service from him.

Everything was fine, but...
June 12, 2024

I still have to mention one thing: When I booked it said that the car would have a full tank of petrol. But it wasn't. You have to return the car with the same tank level. But not everyone can judge that well at the petrol pump.

Nevertheless, I can definitely recommend GreenMotion. The car was clean and the service was good.

Good service car hire
June 12, 2024

Hiring a car from Greenmotion was a reasonable price and the procedure for pick up and drop off was efficient and quick. The free bus service from the airport was very good. We got the keys quickly despite arriving earlier than expected. We weren't pressured into taking out additional insurance although it was offered.

When receiving the car at the Newcastle upon Tyne branch. I was informed I would have to pay a £400 refundable deposit upon the return of the vehicle in good order. Upon return the paperwork was signed to say it was in good order. It has been over a month now and I was been in touch a couple of times with customer service to get the deposit paid back. This is unacceptable.

Hi Jack,

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.

***GREENMOTION CAR HIRE - CITY AIRPORT***DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES HIRE A CAR FROM THIS BUNCH OF THIEVES! They have charged me £68 for a £2.50 oversight on the Dartford crossing. Yes, it's in the contract and it's called an "Admin Fee" but it's just a way for them to make money out of you in other ways. I paid £68 for an email as I paid the late payment of £2.50 direct. I WAS a loyal customer of this bunch of crooks, using their cars numerous times but for the sake of £68 they have lost my custom permanently!

WARNING! THEY PUT A CHARGE ON YOUR CREDIT CARD FOR A DEPOSIT OF £1200 MINIMUM SO THAT THEY CAN TAKE MONEY WHEN THEY LIKE AND THEY DON'T TAKE IT OFF AFTERWARDS LIKE THEY PROMISE, SO MAKE SURE YOU GET IT TAKEN OFF BY YOUR BANK. BECAUSE OF THIS AND THE INEPTITUDE OF MY BANK " NATIONWIDE" NOT BLOCKING THIS CHARGE, DESPITE MY REQUEST, I HAVE HAD TO SHUT DOWN MY CREDIT CARD AND I AM LEAVING NATIONWIDE TOO.

Hi Don,

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 using the form at www.greenmotion.com/contact.

Thank you for your assistance and understanding.

Kind regards,

Green Motion International Customer Services.
