HEATHROW AIRPORT CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

We were caught driving in a bus lane by a traffic camera, and the road authority emailed GREENMOTION to pay a fine. GREENMOTION tried to charge me double with a late fee, thinking I didn't understand English. After I argued via email, they finally charged me the minimum fine.

I waited in line for almost two and a half hours, and then the process took another two hours. They asked all sorts of personal questions, like my job and home address, which I've never experienced in all my years of renting cars. The efficiency was low, and they even told me to inspect the car by myself. They said if there's an issue, come back to me. It was really frustrating.

Expensive price

1. There was no order in the queue, and no one managed it. 2. They enthusiastically encourage you to add extra options (such as insurance).

The staff at the airport rental store were very polite, and because it was early in the morning, there was no queue.

There were many counters when I arrived to get a ticket and wait in line.

Never be late for pick-up. I thought since I paid the deposit, it wouldn't be a problem. But when I arrived, the order was canceled, the BMW X1 was not available, and the price had changed. I had to switch to another car at the last minute, which was extremely expensive. Don't even know if the deposit will be refunded. It's really frustrating to communicate with them. Also, the waiting time in line was extremely long...

This is a fraudulent company that extorts money. When returning the car, they nitpicked to find damage that was not visible at all and insisted there was damage. Do not choose this company! They charge a deposit of over £1200 when renting, and then shamelessly deduct over £600 upon return. Other renters returning cars simultaneously were also charged. But because they were rushing for flights and were abroad, they all endured it. Fellow countrymen, do not rent from this company, they specifically target Chinese people. Scammers!

Average

Returning the car took a while, but picking it up was okay. They promised to give me a baby seat and said they'd discuss it with the manager, but I never heard back.

Forcing insurance sales, rude if you don't buy, difficult return process, finding faults

1. The attitude towards orders via Zuzuche is indifferent; 2. Child booster seat was estimated at 30 pounds by Zuzuche, but the actual charge was 70 pounds. Zuzuche can't confirm the price of additional items, but you can book a seat for 30 pounds through the Hertz website.

The staff was very friendly.

Long waiting times and inconsistent service

Waited in line for 40 minutes, very slow. The most bizarre thing is, it was my first time in the UK, and they claimed I was on their blacklist and refused to rent me a car. I ended up using my friend's name to rent instead. When returning the car, they pointed out a very small dent and demanded £200. Such minor damages are easy to miss during pickup. After a lengthy argument, they finally dropped the charge. I bet the next person will get scammed too.

1. If you don't buy insurance from them, you'll need to pay a deposit (around 20,000 RMB). 2. Be sure to inspect the car; any pre-existing minor scratches will be counted as your responsibility otherwise. 3. There's a daily limit of 95 miles; unlimited mileage costs around 8-10 pounds per day. 4. When calculating the cost, they overcharged us by 50 pounds, and reclaiming it requires contacting their company. We haven't received it back yet. 5. The final amount you pay will definitely not be what you initially saw on the rental site.

We booked a Mercedes Vito but were given a Fiat. Later, we upgraded to an automatic Volkswagen Transporter for 7 people. The rental company demanded an exorbitant upgrade fee of 2000 pounds (an extra 190 pounds per day!) which was even more expensive than other companies' rental fees for a 9-seater automatic at the same time! However, since we had already paid for the manual car, we had to upgrade with them... The vehicle already had several scratches, but they weren't all recorded on the inspection sheet. When returning the car, the company charged us an additional 450 pounds for a minor scratch on the roof. It feels like this company exploits customers to claim insurance. Will never use this company again!

Booked for 9:30 AM pickup, ended up waiting over an hour to get the car.

Not many people in line, and the staff were quite friendly.

Upon arrival at the rental location, they insisted on mandatory insurance fees. Since we were already there, we had no choice but to comply.
