Green Motion at Miami International Airport is basically an insurance scam. Over a 740 dollars rental, they said I had to pay 1000 additionally for "insurance" despite the fact that 1) I have an extendable insurance in the US 2) I paid additional insurance via Orbitz. This was not only me. Five of seven people entering the facility with me decided to leave for the same reason.

Don’t rent from this company you will be highly disappointed! We were traveling from MD to FL decided to go with this company because they were affordable and when we got up to the front desk they tried to charge us almost $300 extra dollars to rent the car. When we tried to get a refund the front desk clerk said “good luck”. Needless to say they scammed us out of $159 reservation fee not to mention we lost half of a day on our vacation. Worst experience I’ve ever had with a company! Consumer beware the fine print is where they get you and its very interesting wording they use in the contract not the same as other companies in the industry.

Dear Sir/Madame I am making a formal complaint against one of your employees called Yasin. I was taking my eldest daughter and all her belongings to York where she was moving to. I had to hire a car last minute because of some unforeseen circumstances which was out of my control. I paid £161 to hire a car for 4 days and made my way to your premises in speak. I brought everything I thought was required and Yasin was dealing with me. Seemed like a nice enough guy and informed me I needed NI number to do a dvla check. I informed him that I had never hired a car before but rules are rules. Unfortunately I did not have my NI number and I just could not remember it. I was just flustered and already running late. So I had to return home to Walton to get my NI number. So now by the time I returned to your rental office I am running over 3 hours later than I had planned but at least I can now move forward and get the hire car and start my journey. Your employee Yasin asked me for a card for the deposit. He definitely could see I was in such a fluster by this time . I pulled all my cards out of my wallet and laid them on the counter.Yasin could see there was 3 debit cards and a credit card.I know how pre auths work having pre authed thousands of debit and credit cards in the hotel business. I said to Yasin I will just use the same card I booked with and gave him the card I had booked online with. He took that card and then proceeded to take deposit but unbeknown to me had charged me £214 pounds and had not told me. He did not give me any receipts or I would have noticed straight away what a sly and untrustworthy person he actually is.I only realised what he had done after I had packed everything in the car for the York trip I checked my online bank account and noticed an extra payment of £214 on top of the £161 I had already paid for the hire car. I rang your company and spoke to Asin and he just said “oh that’s because you did not use a credit card for the deposit”. This is absolutely disgusting customer service and I feel that your employee Yasin decided to scam me of £214 because all he needed to say was I see you have a credit card there Mr Mainwaring then you should use that. Instead he actually snatched the debit card from my hand and proceeded to scam me out of a further £214. As I said I have been in hotel industry for over 15 years and I am all about good customer service. This absolute piece of work employee of yours called Yasin is a stain on your business and your faith and suggest you give him some customer care/service training and teach him some human kindness which he lacks because he obviously has no morals and his only thought was to scam somebody who was obviously flustered and was in a hurry and was obviously too trusting in someone who is so untrustworthy. I hope you resolve this situation asap and I will not take this matter any further. Personally I think you should make your employee Asin return my money from his own pocket and then he will think twice before scamming vulnerable customers. Regards

Fiat 500 - Black (EU23NNH) , miraculously found to have damage on the driver side door on return, £950!! to "repair" this door and damage which cannot be seen by the naked eye. They use this fancy lined paper and reflection to detect a slight wave in the bodywork. SCAM

Was charged above £1000 for a scratch underneath the car front bumper. When I took the car never went underneath the car to check this. The car is the same when I took pictures before going out and that of coming back but the agent who helped me quickly went for that underneath the bumper scratch and said it was me. He acted as if he knew where the scratch was. I check how much it would cost to repair it but Greenmotion hasn't said anything until now. Disappointed EasyJet shouldn't direct it's customers for these people car hire.

I am sharing the mail that I send to Green Emoction Dear Greenemoction, I am writing to inform you that I have been a victim of fraud regarding the aforementioned booking. The company that provided me with the car rental services charged me 1017 euros without my consent. I immediately notified my bank to prevent the payment and have also reported the incident to the relevant authorities for further action. To provide some context, the car broke down just 6 kilometers away from their office upon my return. Contacting them via WhatsApp, I went to their place without inspecting the damage. They demanded a payment of 3000 euros and tried to coerce me into signing a promissory note at their office. Feeling threatened, I disembarked from their vehicle and took a taxi. Unfortunately, due to the time wasted, I missed my flight. As a result, I had to purchase another flight ticket and find accommodation, all of which can be verified as necessary expenses. I kindly request your assistance in helping me recover the stolen amount of 1017 euros from my credit card and seeking reimbursement for the expenses incurred before considering legal action. Any help you can provide in resolving this matter promptly would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your cooperation. Yours sincerely, Ibrahim yilmaz

demanding extra deposits, extra insurance and attitude from consultant is just below the line of criticism

They are cheap but it's not worth it. They will try every trick in the book to get you to pay £350 extra when you go to rent the car. I'm sure the reps are on commission for the extra fees. The service is awful and it is miles away from the airport. I ended up walking away and getting the train. It is not worth dealing with them when you know they have taken a huge deposit and are clawing to get into it.

Scammers. Charged me for damage that did not exist (I left the car at 4am at Edinburgh Airport) and will not send any photos of the alleged damage to substantiate their claim. Never again, I'd rather walk.

Scam company! Have rented prestige/ high end motors for 10-15 years and made a mistake using green motion based on price! The worker who apparently checked me out didn’t show me the car like every other company but made me sign boxes saying he checked it already and can look after if there’s a problem. I noticed several dinks on the body work so took photos and showed him which he said didn’t matter. On returning the car a week later, the same assistant walked immediately to the offside rear wheel and said I have kerbed the wheel. I’ve hired prestige cars and always been charged if damages are done so am well aware of looking after cars. I tried explaining this is an old scratch well over a week and when I showed other damage was told don’t worry. He knew there was a mark on the wheel and unless I had taken a picture the same time I took the car, I was liable. Clearly he gets commission on damage claimed back as he got angry when I asked this. Have tried explaining this to green motion customer service who have the same attitude that it must be me because I signed damage was not there and have not seen it. If I had damaged the wheel I would of been more than happy to pay for it and the price, but know this is an old mark and just fobbed of as they have legal grounds based on me signing stuff pushed in front of me and not explained. Will speak to my solicitor to see my next steps. Make sure you examine the car every inch as they will find a hidden mark you didn’t see the second you bring it back! Got charged £230 extra and still awaiting my deposit. I’ve been punished for not checking their damaged car over enough and having pictures of every mark.

POOR AFTER CARE SERVICE LEAVING ME OUT OF POCKET. It's a shame I have to write this review, since I managed to rent a good electric car at a really good price - despite teething problems at the rental desk which I won't go into here as they aren't my real gripe. Needless to say, expect a hard sell for extra insurance etc when collecting (and do make sure you take your physical credit card with more than 3 months left before it expires if you want to actually be able to take a car etc...) BUT, my real issue is the lack of contact from the PCN department. I received a PCN from TFL for a congestion charge violation. Green Motion paid the £90 on my behalf, then charged me accordingly plus the £68 unrefundable admin charge. fair enough - I was aware this was a risk if I was unlucky enough to get a PCN. However, I challenged the PCN due to the fact in was an obvious error with the reg. TFL took a few days to let me know they had overturned the PCN and that the refund would be sent back to the original payee. Since this has happened, I have contacted Green Motions dedicated PCN address THREE times requesting when and how I can claim my £90 PCN refund, and have not had a single response - not even an acknowledgement that they have received my message. I don't know what else to do except leave a poor review in the hope it might kick them into action. It's a shame they don't seem to have the same sense of urgency they have when they demand I pay them within 3 days!

Scam artists!! I want to warn others about my ordeal with Green Motion. They operate like scam artists, conveniently forgetting to return deposits and letting toll penalties spiral out of control.

Do not use this car rental agency. They gave us a smaller car than we had reserved which created problems on our journey. They charged me twice for a deposit. I made a £50 deposit when picking up the car. When I returned it with less than a full tank I told them to take the fuel balance out of the deposit. The gas charge was £41. They charged me another £50 and insisted that balance of £9 was a "service charge". I pushed hard to correct this situation, but gave up due to pressure to make the plane departure. Believe this and other negative reviews! Save yourself heartache and money!!!

This rental company is rogues, behavior that shame their name, charged us for a scratch that we did not check, but after returning to their land they issued a report that we had drawn the wheel by 8 cm and it costs 250 euros. Nasty behavior do not approach them

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They are refusing to return our $3000 deposit until we pay an additional $800! We had to return our rental to Heathrow Green Motion at the last minute, when we inquired, he called "a guy" - we couldn't speak to him though. We were assured that we could leave the car and it would be just "a few dollars a mile" to have them return the car the 40 miles to the Stanstead Green Motion. Ok, we should have gotten it in writing. They are now charging us $800 for abandonment! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Date: 11/21/23

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IT IS A SCAM! They lure you in with a great price but ask for over £1000 deposit for a 2 day rental and if you don't want to pay that they will charge you an extra £25 on top of your agreed price to lower the deposit amount. They will look for anyway they can to penalise and squeeze more money out of you including charge and obscene amount for every mile over the 100 mile a day limit. To cap it all the staff are incredible rude, unprofessional and have little regard for customer service, doing little more than compounding the micky mouse operation this is. This was meant to be and advertised as a cheap rental that ended up costing me 4x times more than it should...DO NOT USE! Date of experience: 30 November 2023

I booked flights and car hire through a travel firm as a package - the car hire being with Greenmotion. I was concerned over the arrival of my flight and not being at the rental desk in time before their closure at Manchester Airport so I rang Greenmotion, twice, the day before my arrival but could not get past the recorded messages to speak to anybody, with no option to hold. I then emailed them but got no response. Having done the pre-check in with them so they had all my contact details, I stupidly assumed that they would contact me if there was a problem. Needless to say, the rental desk was shut by the time I got to them so I was left stranded at the airport without a car rental for the duration of my trip. I have since tried to get a refund from Greenmotion but they refused via the travel company, stating the Terms and Conditions of needing to contact them if a late arrival (!). I also emailed them directly but have never received a response so they need to take a long look at their customer service and communication as in this day and age, there is no excuse. I would advise you to look elsewhere.
