Renting with green motion most favourable. In car gps was invaluable driving in Scotland. Efficient

Arrived at 11 PM. It was cold and raining in Edinburgh; only two staff members were working, and they were slow and had an average attitude. I had read about others’ experiences beforehand, so I came prepared with a China Merchants Bank Platinum International Card, embossed, Visa-only, no UnionPay mark. But when picking up the car, they said the card couldn't be used for the deposit; I had to purchase full insurance on the spot to get the car. The insurance payment went through, and they explained that transactions and deposits go through different channels. They didn’t accept cash deposits, and I couldn’t cancel the order at that point, so I ended up paying £600+ for insurance. I saw other Europeans having the same issue when picking up their cars, so it felt like the company makes money off these insurance fees. I’ve never experienced such a scam in other countries. Warning other travelers not to fall for this.

It took a long time to get all the admin sorted as I was not aware I should have my NI number and DVLA code and clearing done. As I did not know my NI number I had to phone around and finally got this all sorted. It was good that I had taken my passport along as well, because a second ID was needed.

They do everything they can to get more money from you.

Stop using companies that up-sell.

Total Failure. Vehicle was collected in the pouring rain and we had to trust that there was some damage on the plastic lip under the bumper. When the vehicle was returned there was apparently more damage to this plastic lip at the bottom of the bumper in the form of a 45mm scratch. I cannot see how anyone could distinguish the difference between what was apparently there already, which was not visible, and what is claimed has happened since the vehicle was in my care. I am certain that no damage occurred to the vehicle whilst it was in my care. Out of interest I phoned Kia in Edinburgh to see if the £277 which Greencar are claiming for this addition damage to the already damaged front plastic bumper lip was reasonable. The price for this component is £22.59p This is simply insurance fraud and I am currently taking legal advice for which i shall be claiming my costs unless the £200 of my excess returned to me immediately.

Had to wait over an hour, complete waste of time. I would never recommend greenmotion. The cost more than doubled when accident insurance was applied. Cost was over £100 for 3 days. Although I hired for 3 days, I was only allowed 2 days mileage not 3 , so then had to pay another £10 for excess mileage . Overall I was an expensive disaster !!
