“Unlike most car rentals companies which use credit card per-authorisation for the deposit, GreenMotion actually deducts the money from your account. I have been waiting 30 days for my payment to be returned. They company say they return the deposit within 30 days but this is not included in the rental agreement of included in the term and conditions displayed when booking via booking.com. Keeping the deposit is very lucrative for the company.”
““I had a very disappointing experience with Green Motion. I booked a car for two days, but they charged me for three. Additionally, when returning the car at their Luton location, the staff spoke to me in a very rude and unprofessional manner. I would not recommend this company.””
“I have still not received back my security deposit of 1505£. Returned the car without any issues 39 days ago. I will soon report it to the police as it seems to be a scam.”
“I will not be using Green Motion car rental again.
I pre-paid for my rental and was met with another large bill upon arrival before I could take the car.
This was because, I was told, I went through a 3rd party .
Hidden costs, which made it very expensive.
The car was fine but, this is not fair behaviour, so I will never use them again.”
“Leider hatte ich Probleme mit der Abrechnung des Deposit. Ich hatte Premium gebucht, einen leichten Kratzer festgestellt und danach sehr schwierige und bis heute nicht gelöste Abrechnung des Deposits.”
“The location at “Heathrow” is not even close to the airport. You’re dependent on a shuttle that they don’t control to get you there. It was going to be a 1.5 hr wait so we had to pay for a cab to get there.
Then they have outrageous administrative fees. I got a parking ticket that was not actually my fault and had to dispute it but just the act of forwarding it on to me, they charged me £68.
They are the absolute worst and I would never recommend them.”

“They found scratches on the bonnet of the car, crazy how they went straight to them. Walked fast around the outside and straight to the scratches. H, almost as if they knew they were there. I'm guessing I not the only one to have paid to have them repaired. Oh well live and learn but highly recommend you use another rental car agency.”
“I have been a regular client but am now fighting for the return of my £1505 deposit after 4 weeks even though they have confirmed nothing was damaged and after a number of chasing emails.
Don’t use this company if you want your deposit back!!!”
“Green Motion Edinburgh Airport tell me it takes 2 weeks to refund deposit after return of car. This has blocked use of my credit and I incur additional charges.
Awful customer service................”
“Charged £475 for missing piece of small moulding on the underside of the bumper. Not a thing which is easily spotted on initial check over of the car so no photos to confirm it was missing on pick up. Most unsatisfactory customer service. Other customers at pick up and return were also in dispute over small issues. If seeking repeat business they have failed. Would never use again and would not recommend”
“J’ai louer un véhicule à Rabat jusque là tout c’est bien passer. A la restitution jusque là tout c’est bien dérouler et valider que je récupère ma caution. 8 jours après toujours pas de caution. Heureusement j’avais le numéro du gérant à qui j’ai rappeler que je n’ai pas eu ma caution et c’est à ce moment là qu’il a exécuter le remboursement et m’a envoyer la preuve par wathsapp! Dernière fois que je loue chez vous du moins à Rabat. Désoler de le dire et toujours fier d’être marocain 😉”
“Horrible. It's been a month and a half and they still haven't returned my excess deposit. They're charging me a fine I've never seen before. Book with AVIS or EUROPCAR. I repeat, they've kept the excess deposit, and I'm from Spain. I'm giving up. I wish you luck with this company.”
“I only ever use my credit card for blocking on a car rental.. a few weeks after my rental finished, my card was tried to buy something in the Birmingham area. Could only have been a member of your staff. Luckily my bank noticed this & blocked my card. Will not use Greenmotion again..”
“N'y allez surtout pas!!! Le bureau de Zurich m'a totalement arnaqué en protestant un choc sur le capot (de 2,5mm) qu'ils m'ont facturé 2000 euros de réparation sans que je puisse faire quoi que ce soit alors que j'avais des photos prouvant qu'aucun choc n'a été fait. Prenez une assurance en amont !!”
“Edinburgh airport car hire..: Not a positive experience when dealing with them .. (the car was good) the Green Motion office is not with other hire cars it’s a bus trip away from airport. We previously booked online and paid money, We were then told that deposit that secured the booking of over €200 was facilitated by another company and was not refundable.
On the car return, very hard to find the office as it is not in the normal area. When we eventually found it. It was very unclear cars were everywhere and disorganised we found a spot and were told to remove the car and park another spot which then blocked in at least nine cars. We were needing to catch a flight and in a hurry no help or assistance from them. No toilet either after a long journey. We were sent an email saying our car was dusty and should have been cleaned so we have to pay for that as well.
Not worth the hassle”
