I did not get the car I booked - i asked for a small car and got an SUV which I did not want as too big. I also ordered it full to full and got like for like which I did not like. Also it only had one bar of fuel so I had to find a petrol station before I could go on my journey, and with the delay in the pick up and this it meant I ended up driving on roads I did not know in the dark. Not impressed.
1. During my rental period, I experienced a flat tire in the middle of nowhere at 8:30 PM (still within business hours). I called the rental office, company headquarters, and other contact numbers, but none were reachable. I couldn't get any assistance from the rental company. Fortunately, the car manufacturer's roadside assistance service helped me out. Not being able to contact the rental company during business hours is extremely disappointing.
2. When I purchased additional insurance, the service representative miscalculated the amount I needed to pay. After I pointed it out, they pretended not to notice and simply corrected the amount for me to re-pay.
3. The deposit payment method is extremely strict, requiring a £1500 deposit but only accepting credit cards with chips. My credit card from home doesn't have a chip, so I had to purchase additional insurance to lower the deposit amount. Throughout this process, the rental company's staff were not friendly.
The car was fine it was as described. The problem was there was over an hours wait at Green Motion in picking up the car. The staff were apologetic but we have never waited this long to pick up a rental car before. Talking to other customers it seems this not unusual. Sorry , Cant recommend them to anyone else for this reason. They need to get more staff.
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.
The waiting time and handling documents takes very long. Counter was understaffed. Also the creditcard deposit is very high for such a small car and the refund takes a long time. This huge amount is blokking my creditcard for to many day's
“Renting with green motion most favourable. In car gps was invaluable driving in Scotland. Efficient”
About GREEN MOTION:9.8/10
Like: Efficient pickup and drop off at airport. Avoided congestion at major car rental area of airport. Outstanding car made driving in the beautiful countryside enjoyable. Built in gps that was made available to us at pickup was invaluable. Dislike: Prior written detailed information about large insurance deductible deposit at the time of pickup. Lucky we had a card with a high limit. Better signage for location and vehicle return.
