Lovely but underpowered car with pressure and poor transparency of costs- so won’t use again

About GREEN MOTION:6.7/10
Hard to find- we went to wrong car hire place (due to looking for easy rent)
Felt very pressured to buy expensive insurance and ultimately felt ripped off.
Won’t use again
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!
We were charged an extra £200 for some rebooking fee because we arrived two hours late to pick up the car. Our friends, who were also two hours late but booked with a different company, didn't have to pay this fee. This rental company doesn't care about customers' interests, and their service is very average and impersonal. I've never encountered such problems renting cars in the USA and Spain. It's so unfair! What would have happened if we didn't pick up the car that day? This kind of unfair clause from the rental company is just uncomfortable and not good service. In the future, I'll book directly with the rental company instead!
I booked a Passat on the website, but upon arrival, they said they didn't have that model and only had a Citroen C5 (not sure if I remember correctly) of a similar size. This should be promptly communicated by email after the order is confirmed.
Staff try to upsell.Booking out of vehicle process not needs attention.
