“Don't use them”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 16/07/2012

When I arrived, the car was ready, but was warned that the battery could drain itself if the boot was not fully secured. It was, and it did. The fault was with the boot lid retaining bracket and within 36 hours I had no battery and was "off-road" for a day. A letter of complaint to their head office (they are franchises) remains unanswered after six weeks.

“They always try to charge for things after your rental...”

Quite good service and car, but the company is based on a lay. They claim to be environmental, but they are not, hiring small gas and diesel cars can not be called GREEN. The always try to charge you extra after the rental period. The quite cheep price from the beginning will soon be more expensive than other car rental company's.. I cant recommend this company.

I 100% agree that Green Motion is a scam. I had exactly the same experience with extras charges at their Heathrow branch. The car I hired was quite old, had 25,000miles on the clock, and was covered in small scratches/marks. When I returned the car I was charged GBP84 for a very superficial and small scratch which I did not notice when taking the car out. Don't use them.

Fantastic service prompt and efficient. Having previously had a bad experience with car hire, I couldn't recommend this company more. When we arrived at the pick up point outside Gatwick airport, the pick up vehicle arrived driven by peter who was friendly and helpful.
After taking the car back we realised we had left a mobile phone in it, we emailed and were told it would be posted to spain without charge.
The car was almost new and in excellent condition and of the class we had asked for.
All this for a better price than the other companies we had looked at.

“Stay away! green motion car rental is a fraud!!!”

No matter how cheap their rental prices seem, they will rob you off when you return the car. We have recently visited london and rented a car with green motion, when we returned the car they have noticed the tiniest scratch on the front bumper and charged us with 150 pounds. 3 weeks after we have noticed an extra charge of 584 pounds for extra damage... after reading in the internet I have found many similar cases which occured to others as well.

BEWARE! Comparison websites my suggest you're getting a "deal", but the deal is that you are about to be taken.
We rented a vehicle, and we strongly "encouraged" to buy the insurance which lowered our deductible. We were not offered the chipped glass insurance, but this was apparently available too.
They checked the vehicle before we left, although there was nothing in writing. When we returned 3 days later we were charged for "scuffs" on the hubcaps, and they claimed there were 3 micro-chips in the windshield. Of course, there had been no examination of the windscreen when we left. Somehow these "damages" came to exactly 100 pounds upon our return. RUN, don't walk from these people. They don't need to make money on the rental; their profit is on the extoration at your return.

Could you please tell me what is the best way to the green motion office? I have read, that there are some buses you can use free of charge with the voucher. Is that correct? Or is there a special green motion shuttle service which must be used? Thank you very much for your information.

When Green Motion had an office in a nearby hotel, you could use that hotel's shuttle service free of charge by showing your car voucher. However, GM have now moved to different premises a little further out and use their own (no charge)shuttle service. The last time I used this, I waited about 5 mins. and the bus then turned up. Same when returning to the airport after the car drop off. Seems like a very frequent service during the day but can't comment about very early/late service.

I wouldn't go to Green Motion under any circumstances!!! There is a bus from the Gatwick bus station, free of charge if you show your rental papers. This from memory as the experience was far from good. Even a written complaint was ignored.

Sounds as if things have changed since I used GM - their office was at one of the hotels and one used the shuttle bus. I hope for your sake that they have also changed their sharp practice over alleged damage to vehicles on their return - be very careful !
