Very easy pick up and car return! Very good car, that was upgraded without no additional fee. Even prolongation of rental period was smooth.

The car was really fine.
The desk clerk was also nice and helpful.
But it is very strange that a credit card must be valid for at least 9 months in order to pay for the car.
So they "sell" you an insurance policy of 100 to get the car.
And you don't have a choice. If you don't do it, don't bring your car...

Nakon mnogo "jednostavnih" rezervacija, na green motion sam naišla slučajno, te nazvala u nadi da primaju debitne kartice za depozit. To nažalost nije moguće (travanj 2024.) ali me je zaposlenik izvijestio kako nema potrebe za depozitom ukoliko se bukira premium plus opcija. Isplati se dati nešto novca više, za nešto više sigurnosti i fleksibilnosti. Auto još uvijek nisam pokupila, ali vjerujem da će sve biti super 😉

I have found after twice renting with green motion at their Stansted location that they are very fairly priced and their staff are professional and courteous. I was offered a good upgrade for a reasonable price, and was pleased with the vehicle I chose. All of their cars are new or nearly new and they have a very good selection. For my money they are the best at the Airport post covid by some way and hope they stay and grow.

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: 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
