CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON GREEN MOTION AT KEFLAVIK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, KEF

It’s a good car rental company! Overall, it’s fine! They patiently explain various rules to you. They won't give you the car until you listen to everything! When I returned the car, I left my phone inside. When I went back, they returned it to me! Icelandic people have a high level of integrity! But make sure the rental car has a towing rope, you’ll need it in Iceland! If it doesn’t, ask for one just in case.

Hard to find on the map

Great, there was shuttle service

Since I provided the flight number, a very nice staff member picked us up as soon as we exited the airport. The service was excellent throughout, and we were given a new car in great condition. After returning the car, they even sent us back to our hotel. A wonderful experience!

1. They didn't note the original scratches on the car in the contract when we picked it up. 2. When we returned the car, they claimed one of the scratches was our fault and demanded at least 1000 euros for repairs. 3. They forced us to sign a contract agreeing to pay for the repairs, otherwise they wouldn't let us leave. 4. Initially, they said they would deduct the repair cost from our 18,000 euro deposit, but when we signed the compensation contract, they had already transferred the entire deposit to the rental company's account. 5. When we presented photos taken at the time of pickup as evidence, they kept delaying, saying the responsible staff had already left for the day. Eventually, we encountered two French girls having the same issue and arguing. Only because of their pressure did the staff finally call the manager. It was clear they were stalling because they knew we had a flight to catch, showing a lack of respect towards Asians. Overall, this car rental company is terrible. Blacklisted forever.

The airport shuttle service was very convenient, but we were given a Fiat instead of the Volkswagen we reserved. The performance difference is significant. We hope that in the future, the car we reserve will be the car we get.

You really need to communicate well with the rental company about the insurance issue. When picking up the car, they pushed for an additional insurance of 146 Euros. They said if you don't take this insurance, you have to leave a 2400 Euro deposit. It was really intimidating, and I couldn't reach you by phone.

Booked a Volkswagen Golf, received a Fiat instead. Gas stations in Iceland are mostly self-service and have a set limit. In a rush, the tank was slightly short, and they demanded it be topped up plus a fine of 5000 Krona. The staff were deliberately difficult and rude, almost causing us to miss our early morning flight.

Insurance purchased in China is not valid at the rental company.

When picking up the car, they tried to push us into buying insurance, but I didn’t buy it. When returning the car, they were difficult and the service attitude was not very friendly.

Like: The process was efficient, picked up Right at the airport, get a number when you get there and the pick up your care...pretty easy. They'll try to sell you extra insurance which depending on where you're going, may be necessary. We didn't get it and we were fine.
Dislike: Hard to locate The Green Motion shuttle when you arrive at the airport. There's not sign anywhere. The van just picks up in the parking lot right outside the doors. You don't need to go where the rest of the shuttles are. Also, when dropping off the car the Green Motion place is hard to find, not well signed.

The staff was patient.

Domestic insurance was not directly accepted, so a high deposit was required when picking up the car. They offered sandstorm insurance, but considering the weather, I did not purchase it. They recommended renting a GPS when picking up the car. However, I had already ordered a free GPS when booking through ZuzuChe, so I didn't rent one. The car actually had a built-in GPS. Perhaps the staff was not familiar with the vehicle, otherwise, they might have tried to upsell. The Chinese GPS was more convenient.

Excellent airport pickup and drop-off

I bought full insurance on Zuzuche, but when picking up the car from the rental company, they insisted I purchase another full insurance for 160 Euros. After negotiating, they said if I don't buy it, they would hold 2000 Euros on my credit card. I can understand pre-authorization and deposits when renting cars domestically, but it's normally unnecessary for renting abroad. They blatantly bullied Chinese customers. A German couple next to me only needed to verify their order information and sign their names to get their keys and collect their car, which was conveniently parked right at the entrance. On that day, it was raining in Iceland, and after we bought the insurance, they simply handed us the keys and told us to find our car in the parking lot ourselves. Normally, I could understand this procedure at airports, but comparing the two experiences was disheartening. Aren't German and Chinese customers both customers? This isn't just about the insurance scam; it's about the extra effort paid because of bad weather and still receiving subpar service.

The shuttle bus arrives every 20 minutes. Just wait at the arrival area and look for the staff holding the company sign.

The service at the car pick-up location was decent, and it took about 10 minutes for both picking up and dropping off the car. The problem handling was unsatisfactory. The car’s air conditioner broke on a hot day. We could not reach them by phone during business hours, and had to email for help. The email response asked us to call their office, which then redirected us to call the car repair service. The repair hotline couldn't see our caller ID and couldn't text us the repair address. When we asked for an email, it took forever, and when we called again, they suddenly could see our number and texted us the address. We had to visit the repair shop twice. The first visit they were too busy without an appointment, and the second visit after waiting for an hour, they told us they didn't have the necessary parts and advised us to endure until we returned the car. Later, the rental company called and offered us a discount but couldn’t specify how much. At the airport, they claimed they'd never heard of any discount, and we had to email for assistance again. After insisting, they found a note from a colleague and gave us a one-day rental discount. Considering we rented the car for 13 days and endured the heat, the 0.76-day discount as compensation felt ridiculous and frustrating.

Fairly ordinary, nothing particularly good or bad

The model was not the one we reserved, and the rental company said they didn't have the Grand Cherokee we booked.

Decent, matches local average standards.
