I have made an official request for a refund. If this is not actioned I will stop all my future business with AutoEurope. "
" Autoeurope gave me a rental agreement for 13:00 pick up at BHX airport. The office closed at 13:00! So when I arrived for my pick up a few minutes late (which is fair and very reasonable for an airport pick up) the office was closed. I could not get ahold of anyone and nobody had contacted me from GreenMotion to say they were closing. It is irresponsible from AutoEurope to set a rental agreement at the time closing! "

" No problem with Auto Europe except it should be specified about the shuttle with Green Motion. Basically the shuttle is useless and you have to pay for it. "
" Shuttle service is a joke. Once an hour, you have to pay for it and it goes round all the hotels before it gets to the Holiday Inn where Green Motion is. Had to get a taxi from T5 that cost £24.50 to pick the car up. Counter staff were fine, but it was a slow process. When I returned the car the agent tried to sting me for damage on the car that was there when I collected it (a tiny scuff on the bumper). Luckily I had picture taken at collection. Green Motion would probably be OK if you were not a rush, and willing to take out their expensive insurance. They have a reputation for stinging people for damage that was on the car when you collect it. Very minor, almost invisible damage. "

Everything worked out, I got there at 2 mins to midnight but felt bad that I kept the guys beyond the end of their shift and it was stressful "
" Pick up was excellent, drop off was good but took longer as quite a lot of people were there at the same time. The only reason I wouldn't wholeheartedly give them a "10 - I'd definitely book again" is because the shuttle bus to/from the Novotel is less frequent than to the car rental village "

" Auto Europe gave me a cheaper quote than other companies which is why I booked through them. However, need to check the information for picking up the car as the shuttle bus went from a different stand from what was indicated in the booking information. "
" The bus information was incorrect; it went from a different place and we were able to get a different bus on the way back. When I went to collect the car, I was offered an upgrade but declined as it was considerably more than I had paid. Then I was told the car I had booked hadn't been returned yet so would have to wait. Other companies normally immediately give an upgrade in this situation. After waiting for quite a while, I was given a new car which had arrived the previous day but hadn't been put into the system. Why this wasn't done before is a mystery, likewise, I could/should have been given the 'upgrade' they offered, which is the experience I have had with other companies. The return took ages too as there are not enough staff working and the two on the desk take care of pick up and returns, unlike other companies I have used. Main positive was the price which was quite a bit lower than other companies but will certainly take into account my experience this time round to decide whether to use Green Motion again. "

" Pls remove Green Motion from your website. Pls see reviews on trust pilot regarding their practice. Thanks "
" Be very careful if considering this company. Read their Trustpilot reviews before booking -- you'll find many reports of false damage claims, delays, and high insurance costs. Their practices have also been reported in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2017/jan/22/green-motion-car-rental-took-2500-fuel-mixup-no-evidence In my case, they falsely claimed I caused a scratch that was already there. They even insisted the scratch was "fresh" when my photo evidence suggested otherwise. I was told to sign a form to release my deposit, but it turned out my signature was placed on a document admitting liability for the damage. Based on my experience and numerous similar reviews, I strongly recommend avoiding this company at all costs. "

I did not take the car and lost £122 - it took over a week for them to cancel the £1505 they took in my credit card and I chased that repeatedly .

" Dreadful scam feel to the whole experience. Having already paid Auto Europe to cover the excess on the insurance, I was told at the Green Motion desk that what I'd paid for didn't actually do anything to the excess, but simply meant I could put in a claim and maybe get the excess back if any claim was made. In other words, a totally misleading sales ploy to take money off me for nothing. I then spent another £300 with GM to actually cover off the excess, rather than the pointless rip-off you guys inflicted on me. If I could be bothered, I'd report AE for false advertising and misselling. As it is, I can't be bothered, so I'll just make sure to never use you cowboys again. "

" Upon return of vehicle which I considered to be same condition as pick-up, the Green Motion rep pointed out a very tiny crack on the windscreen and they deducted my credit card deposit and advised they would replace screen and refund me the difference. Crack not visible on pick up as the car had just been washed and the screen was covered in water droplets. Advised me to make an insurance claim. My view is the tiny crack was existing at the start but hidden by water droplets so very unfair treatment. "

" I have always been extremely happy with using Auto Europe for many years but please don't allow Green Motion to advertise their cars as 'Pick Up Full, Return Full' if they don't mean it. "
" Although my booking was on a 'Pick Up Full, Return Full' basis, Green Motion don't apparently have that policy. Consequently, the car was on absolute zero when we picked it up. Leaving Manchester Airport you are almost immediately onto motorways and I didn't want to do that on an empty tank! So, we spent at least half an hour or more searching for a petrol station to put our minds at rest. Not happy with that experience. "

I was told I could not have a refund nor was I able to rebook the vehicle free of charge to collect the next day (staying at a local hotel at my expense).

" Horrible I felt scammed "
" I feel like I was scammed . The pick up shuttle was fine the person helpful . At the depot they said I could not use any of my 3 cards to pay the deposit . On the front part of the voucher it refers to a security deposit secured by credit card . It does NOT there stipulate the restrictive nature of the cards used by green motion for deposit . It is in the small print on one of the 5 or 6 pages . They said the only option was to pay an extra £45 per day / ( nearly £200 extra ) using the cards they would not accept for deposit . I phoned your customer service who simply told me I should have read every single bit of the terms and conditions . They agreed it was not clear on the main page of the voucher . I then hired a car from hertz for very much less than green motion additionally asked for , and not much more than I had paid to you for 4 days £63 .

" All of the above that I have responded in question 3. You sold me a complete dud from what was requested. The fact that I asked for an airport pick up, but got a rental 40 minutes from the airport with a courtesy bus service that only went hourly. I paid you for a waiver of the excess which was not worth the paper it was written on. Its a very poor show on your side, and will actively tell anyone and everyone never to use your company again or Green Motion. Strangely enough I met a Hertz courtesy bus driver at the airport who was so helpful and went out of his way to provide assistance to me when no one could help me find where I needed to go from the terminal to get the car. This gentleman, certainly sealed the deal for me to use Hertz next time "
" Green Motion is 40 minutes from the airport terminal, with a courtesy bus ride which is only hourly to get to the pick up point. I then spent over an hour waiting to see one of the two counter staff there were three people ahead of me. I was then told I had to pay another 30 GBP a day to Green Motion to waive the excess as the extra insurance I took from you for was nul and void. So I spent over 300GBP which is outrageous for a Peugeot 308 for a 5 day rental. When I eventually got the paperwork done, I had to walk in the dark to the back of the hotel not a pleasant experience in a rather dodgy area to get the car. Here I was told by the counterstaff that the car was at the car wash and I would need to wait a further 20 minutes. Eventually I was given the keys with no explanations from staff of how anything works. It was a dimly lit car park, so it was too dark to do my usual video walk around the car to check for scraps bumps etc which I always do for my own piece of mind, and I was told by the staff all was ok and not to worry! When I came to drop it off, It was like the third degree with an indepth look at eveything in and on the car, which was a complete contrast from the pick up. "

" You need to be clearer on whether you will hire a car to someone BEFORE they arrive to collect the car! It was only on arrival I was told members of the Armed Forces cannot hire the cars. There was no proper explanation. The assistance to resolve the situation was poor, to the point of just wanting me out of the way. The situation was only resolved because I made it clear I wasn't going elsewhere until I had another vehicle arranged, which the office was not prepared to help with. A call to their director was what enabled the hire to go ahead. However, as the director is not the underwriter, I'm I sure how this was allowed. Yes, I got a car, but it was not a pleasant experience, and the discrimination towards members of the Armed Forces using your services for personal use is unacceptable. When I have spoken tonpeople, they have been horrified, woth many saying we should be given a discount, not to be barred from your services. A quick Google search shows that GreenMotion were offering Armed agorces discount a few years ago. So what has changed?? "

" Disappointingly, my plane was late and I arrived at Green Motion Glasgow Airport at 8.02pm, but they had already closed at 8pm. Whilst I got a car (a different one to my booking) on the the following day, I was still out of pocket for £40 for 2 taxi fares leaving and returning to the Green Motion office. The big issue is that whilst I supplied AutoEurope my phone, email and flight details, Green Motion said that AutoEurope had not passed that information on to them so they did not know my plane was late or, even if they did, they did not have my contact details. I am surprised to hear that AutoEurope do not supply such details to Green Motion as that would be important information for them to monitor the arrival of a customer or whether they need to stay open longer to be able to provide the rental car. This seems to be a major flaw in the booking system that needs rectified, I'd appreciate your feedback on this issue. "

" I did not have a very good experience for this car hire. I must say that this is partially my fault, as I did not notice that Green Motion closes at 8pm. I thought I had booked 8pm as my pick up time, but it defaulted to 7pm due to the 8pm closure I'm assuming. Therefore, when my flight was delayed I was unable to make it to Green Motion until 8:30pm to find that it was closed and all in darkness. I did try and call before paying for a taxi to get me there, but nobody answered. Again this is probably due to them closing at 8pm. However, this left me stranded at Heathrow airport, so I decided that it would be best to continue with my booking and just pick the car up first thing in the morning. So I partially slept at Heathrow arrivals until Thursday morning, when I headed back to Green Motion to pick up my car rental. I arrived about 6:45 am, and was told that because I didn't collect my car the night before, my booking may have been cancelled, as I was more than four hours late. I did question this and ask that surely the four hours must be whilst you are open? I am only 45 minutes or an hour and 45 minutes late from a 7pm collection. I was told that my booking had been cancelled but that he was able to retrieve it, however, my car was longer available anymore. I asked how this was possible and that it should surely still be in the parking lot at 6:45. He said it wasn't and that I would have to pay an upgrade fee to get the car. I agreed as I had to get to Nottingham for a funeral and this was my only chance. Finally, I was then offered insurance. I said that I had already paid for insurance with Auto Europe and showed him the booking form, however, I was told that this was no longer valid as this was for my previous booking. I said, but I thought you had retrieved that booking, but this was now for a different car so my insurance wasn't valid and that I needed to take out there's instead. Again I agreed and I was charged another £60 for insurance. I can't help thinking that this wasn't really fair and that I was being taken advantage of. I didn't receive any money back, as they took the money from my initial booking and then I ended up paying another £135 over double what I had paid for my upgraded Toyota Yaris Cross, which didn't really feel like an upgrade. To finish, the drop off was smooth. the man on the counter was dealing with a customer, but he offered me the opportunity to just drop the car off and give him the keys if I was happy with that. I agreed and handed over the keys and received the confirmation paper work later on. "

" Heres why we will recommend all our friends and family to never use Auto Europe. 1. Please do NOT describe that the car is available IN airport. No it wasnt. there was ONE shuttle bus PER HOUR. A considerable inconvenience after and before long complex flights. 2. Travel instructions for arriving at green motion were NOT provided by Auto Europe. We had to make MULTIPLE (international) CALLS to get information. 3. Documentation for hiring the car was also incorrect. We wasted a lot of time at the Green mMotion counter because of Auto Europe's misleading description of the documentation required. We could have provided it if we had known beforehand. So no thanks for that. "

" I have many complaints. When we arrived after a long journey the counter staff was incredibly clown like but we persevered with his 'welcome performance'. We were then informed that we needed to use a credit card to put down the deposit. I have never owned a credit card nor intend to. I hire cars 4-5 times a year from various suppliers and I've never been asked for a credit card before. I informed the green motion colleague that I had more than enough money on my debit card to pay the deposit but this wasn't entertained. My original booking was circa £220. The counter staff informed me that they could 'help us out' by allowing us to pay the insurance in full and he quoted £570! This is criminal. We were so disgusted that we hired a SIXT car (who accept DEBIT CARDs) on the spot. This added another hour to our trip and left us significantly more out of pocket. Half an hour after leaving the green motion cabin I received an email to say any refund had been rejected. A truly horrible, frustrating and expensive experience. "

" I have used Auto Europe faithfully for many years and had successful car hires at many destinations.... BUT never before have I been let down like this !!! Their late arrival terms are not clear and di not show clearly what action a customer should take when delayed. I ASAP called/ emailed the supplier (3.45 that day) - they responded 4DAYS LATER!!! The Auto Europe site match/ allocated supplier system to my provided times & flight No. details should have allowed for off site / bus travel at Gatwick and also have been capable of avoiding or WARNING ME or stopping me using any suppliers with strict closure terms as the air passenger industry is prone to delays- no service aligned to air travel should have strict closures- especially if Auto Europe's computer matching system actually directs customers to use a specific local service provider- EVEN WHEN THE FLIGHT NO. /TIMES ARE TOO CLOSE OR AT RISK OF MISSING THE TIMES OF THAT SUPPLIER's OFFICE CLOSURE!! I am still furious!!! "
" We had a car hire reservation booked and scheduled through Auto Europe for THURSDAY 1st August 2024, with my estimated car pick up from 6.30pm which included an Auto Europe service provider/Car rental company called 'Green Motion' ....booked as usual through Auto Europe for my wife and I to collect a car (including added insurance cover) through your rental services at Gatwick Nth Terminal. Once I had booked and got my Voucher (as always, and I read those things) I looked up the terms as I noted the Green Motion (GM) office was located off- airport, and saw we would need to get to a shuttle bus to Green Motion to collect the car.....I also noted with some concern that Green Motion offices close at 7.00pm!... However, I saw that GM / AE clearly apply a late pick up charge of £35.00... and it also states that in the case of an 'out of hours arrival' GM/AE "apply the extra £35.00 fee but that would be included in the fee being charged" ....so on this basis and with my very positive long term opinion of AE from many past car rental bookings; I assumed our contracted / location & pick up times through AE and their partner suppler were flexible enough to manage any potential delayed/ late flights –which are of course are common these days.....so I felt all seemed fair enough. On Thursday 1st August in Biarritz, due to poor weather conditions over London, the EasyJet aircraft was late arriving at Biarritz and we were therefore warned we would be delayed 1 hour taking off at Biarritz airport. I called Green Motion to alert them of a likely late arrival but could not find any way to leave a message...(answer phone? or reference to email.). But I got one voice answer message which gave an email as contact: www.greenmotion.co.uk So I emailed GM at 16.43 French time (3.43pm GMT) to alert them to our delay and ask about a late pick up. SEE ATTACHED/BELOW COPY OF EMAIL The aircraft was delayed again in air due to more storms over Gatwick and landed 2 hours later than scheduled at 20.10 GMT Once through customs I called GM as the guidance notes state; and followed the auto instructions to go to Bus Stop 12. The message stated that they "cannot pick up right now.....but please send a text and GM would call back as soon as possible". However: a) BEFORE THE FLIGHT: No email reply from Green Motion was received from my 3.43pm email message (none since either!). b) No call back from GM followed my various calls, V/M messages and emails. c) On my several calls to Green Motion no message stated that the office was closed.... but a message did say "please text name & details of booking and we will call you back ASAP". d) No contact whatsoever was received even after 30 minutes of my wife and I waiting at Bus Stop 12. e) No contact, no call no emails have arrived to date (it is now 12.31 SUNDAY 4th August ). So, we had no service. No car (as had been scheduled) and no explanation of why Auto Europe/Green Motion could not provide the Car Hire service as contracted through Auto Europe. I called and contacted Auto Europe 9.30am (GMT) on Friday 2nd August and talked to Marlene who suggested I call Green Motion and ask them the question of why no reply or statement was provided to us/ Marlene then suggested we "should have called Auto Europe" if we were going to be delayed!! Where in the notes or Voucher does it tell you to do this?!! She also mentioned that... as I did not have the flexible cover that AE now promote (covers you for late flights etc;) she could not act on the problem at that time. So I said if I had seen or been shown that flexible cover service (at 72 years old) I would certainly have purchased it!! I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN THAT SERVICE OFFERED when reserving a car on AE site...IN ALL THE YEARS OF USING AUTO EUROPE!! Our only alternative: This loss of vehicle and total lack of any service or correspondence meant that My wife and I were anxious, disappointed and physically exhausted; and with no reply or explanation of what if anything was happening with our AE reserved rental car service, by 8.45pm we gave up and returned to the Terminal and booked a taxi from Gatwick to Newbury at a cost of £220.00 and finally arrived home at 11.24pm.

" I had no problems when booking with Auto Europe but on visiting Green Motion' my experience then turned in to a nightmare. "
" I was informed that my credit card was rejected 3 times even though my credit limit was £2400 and balance at zero. A card that I have used many times when hiring cars. I used the card in a cash machine the following day and it worked perfectly well. I was told I could use a debit card ; however, I had to take their insurance at a cost of £720 even though I bought my insurance through Auto Europe at the time of booking the hire car. I was also told that the booking was soon to expire off the system if I didn't make a decision and take their cover. By this time I had been in the Green Motion' 3 hrs and had no alternative but to accept their insurance. The bank (Santander) who I have my credit card with stated that it wasn't the fault of the bank even though on the day of hire 19th Aug 2024 there was a global IT outage that they said did not affect chip/pin card transactions.

" We arrived to collect the car at East Mdlands airport. The instructions on where to get picked up were none existent. I called them and they said to wait, we were originaly standing at the hotel courtesy bus stop which seemed logical as the counter is based at the Hilton Hotel , luckily I double checked and asked the question , and was told we were in the wrong place , its a good job I asked as no one thought to volunteer this essential information . The car that picked us up was very poorly branded so we had to keep asking people who pulled over if they were Green Motion. I had regostered collection time as being around 18.00 when our flight landed , we got to the desk at 19.00 and were told we had a 75 pound late collection fee to pay , which I have never had to do before! Eventually it was reduced to 36 pounds which is actually what the charge was in the small print of the contract . I feel like they were trying it on to extract as much as possible from us and the other client at the desk. Frankly I feel ripped off and felt the servcie was terrible! "

" Easy to choose and book the car, however it was tricky to book all the options and extras (2nd driver, unlimited mileage etc.). This was greatly offset by the Green Motion staff that added everything we needed, so the gaps in the booking application didn't lead to any major issue. "
" The staff was knowledgeable and offered us relevant advice and options; at car pick-up Rahil was very accommodating and set everything up as we needed. He was calm, efficient and looking for ways to solve all issues and concerns. At drop off, the counter staff (I unfortunately don't have their name) accepted the car without any unnecessary delay and processed the return promptly. My only issue is with pricing child car seats -- this is a necessity when travelling with family, booster seats are bulky but can be purchased rather cheaply, there is no reason to price them at £10+ per day (that being said I know this is a common practice with car rentals, and definitely not under the staff's control).

" Was happy to book Green Motion as used them before. Staff at Bristol did the minimum they could, at time of collection the staff member did not move out of her chair, said to take photos, rather than show me the car & specifically where the marks/dents were. I looked at the start mileage, but stupidly did not take a picture. When I looked at the email documentation, I saw the 'start' mileage which was 161 miles less than when collected! This meant it would be easy to go over my limit & be liable for a penalty charge. Luckily I kept within my limits, but on returning the car & mentioned this, the guy just shrugged & had no interest at all. Maybe it is the way Green Motion are able to make more money & charge excess fees! Not imperessed. "

" I enjoyed the vehicle provided, but with 1/4 of the tank, it is difficult to return at the same level. The contract established full-to-full, so why not do just that? I ended up returning the vehicle with more fuel than when collecting, as difficult to plan how much longer it can run to get to the 1/4 mark. "
" Slow to collect vehicle. Could have requested all documents (e.g. utility bill and NI number) in advance, as nobody carries them around. Or advise of these requirements in advance. I know about the requirement of credit card in the name of the person in the contract, but having issues with one of my cards, they would not accept: Amex, virtual card (card on mobile phone), debit card or even a card in the name of the legal spouse, also travelling together. I was not the only one having this problem. This made the whole experience even more burdensome than expected. "

" Autoeurope sells additional insurance. However on 2 occasions I've been told very clearly that the online insurance is of no use and I'm then presnted with having to block out a significant sum (more than £1000) on a credit card or trake out additional insurance. It seems AutoEurope and the car rental companies need to get together to resolve this or stop selling additional insurance packages online if they're of no use "
" I picked up my car at Birmingham airport. It was chaotic. The car I had booked wasn't available and they tried to get me to take an automatic even though I had specifically said I didn't want an automatic. As always they were "persuading"customers to take out additional insurance even though I had previously paid for additional insurance. The whole experience took more than 40 minutes and was stressful and expensive and I'd honestly rather not rent again than use this branch. A reasonable online price became a very expensive one by the end. Awful! "

" Shocking "
" I am very angry about my car hire booking with Green Motion. We never got our rental car, finding ourselves stranded at Heathrow airport and with nobody to talk to at the company because it was closed. Eventually we had to hire another car through Sixt. The car was advertised on your website as being available to be picked up at the terminal. This was a lie. In fact, it turned out that when we rang the number to find out how to pick up our car, a recorded message told us to catch a bus from Heathrow airport. Our flight landed at 6:45pm and by the time we found the correct bus stop, we discovered the bus to the car hire location only ran every hour and we had just missed a bus at 7:30pm. So we had to wait for the next bus at 8:30pm. When it arrived, the driver told us that it was no longer stopping at Green Motion - the last bus to do so was at 6:30pm - because the car hire office was closed by this time. When we rang the number to speak to someone we were told to send an email and to expect a response within two hours during office hours. So we gave up on Green Motion. Fortunately, a proper car hire company had a counter in Heathrow Terminal 2 that was able to rent us a car in the form of Sixt. I am very upset about this, especially as Green Motion replied to my initial email of complaint demanding a refund by simply saying that I should contact the company I booked the car through - ie Auto Europe.

" We arrived at Glasgow Airport a little later than first anticipated as our flight was delayed by 20 minutes. When we went outside to catch the bus (before 8pm), it wasn't there: we waited for 10 minutes and then decided to walk. Arriving at the Green Motion offices, we found the door locked: as instructed on the email, I rang the contact number and were informed that they had closed for the day. However, the operator knew my name and that the pick up was planned for 8pm. She could not offer an alternative plan and the other number available went straight through to an answer phone. This is not an acceptable service to provide at an airport. Luckily, I was able to hire a car with another provider but I will be looking to have my money returned from Green Motion. To date, I have not managed to get through to the correct people on the phone either because they have not answered, or because the office closes at 1pm every day. "

" I, like many from abroad do not have a credit card as banks take security money from current account. Therefore I had to take out excess insurance at a cost greater than the hire as the hire firm insisted that they could not reserve a large deposit on my debit card. I rang them prior to hiring to check this and was told it would not be a problem. I have my own excess insurance so it was an unnecessary expense. This should be made clear. "

Expected full to full petrol( although it does say to return with same amount of fuel) but it was a quarter full so l wasted money putting more petrol in that l needed too. They did talk me into buying extra insurance, probably not a bad thing but it was very expensive.

" Booking online was fine and the prices looked good. I bought the extra insurance just in case. However be careful when you go to Green Motion because they will tell you with this insurance you are still liable up to 1200 + if anything happens. The insurance business is a total rip off. "
" When I made the reservation through Autoeurope, I paid for the extra insurance option. Imagine my surprise when I went to pick up the car that Greenmotion told me I only had the basic insurance, and they showed me the options to be full or partially insured. For four and half days, the fully insured price was over 200 pounds. I took the option of around 120+ pounds, meaning I would only have to pay up to 800 pounds in case of an accident, which was more than the cost of the car rental for the same period. I felt once again I had been ripped off by a car rental company. It is a reason I try to avoid renting cars when possible and it seems most rental companies run a similar scam. "

" Car booked not available so offered a much bigger 7 seater which I didn't want. Staff offered a smaller brand new car but then unable to allocate it unless I paid for the excess waiver insurance but I already had my own. Also, service light was on, eventually a more suitable sized car was offered. Finally I wish they had a Full to Full policy as it is difficult to judge how much fuel to put in - having had to fill up earlier in the rental I put 6 litres in to take it from 2/8 to back to how it was on collection 3/8 but the gauge didn't move. I had to put another 5 litres in and then it shot up to 4/8 which was annoying. "

" Generally good, shuttle times only negative "
" We had a generally positive experience with Green motion. The staff were pleasant and efficient. The car we had been allocated did not have a full tank of fuel which would have been ok as we had hired on like for like basis, but we were found an alternative car which has a full tank to make it more convenient for us. The car we got was also of a higher spec than we had ordered which was nice. We have a hire car insurance policy which was accepted with no pressure to purchase extra insurance but did have to have a credit card with sufficient limit to cover large deposit which is standard. The only slight negative is that the free shuttle is the one used for the Novotel which only runs every half hour. On our return we just missed the shuttle and the next one was a bit tight for our check in time so we ended up getting a taxi which cost £23. It was of course our responsibility to allow enough time, but it would be useful if the shuttle times were clearly displayed and attention drawn to these at time of hiring. "

On arrival there was no one there and the offices were closed. There was no mention of needing to book out of hours collection. I couldn't get through on any of the out of hours numbers and gave up after being on hold for over an hour. I ended up having to book a hotel in the hope I could collect the car the next morning. On arrival the next day I was told that the booking was cancelled and there would be no option to reinstate it. The woman I spoke to was absolutely awful and the most stuck-up and obnoxious person I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I ended up having to make another booking with the car hire company directly. The online system should not have allowed me to book this.

" I have rented from Auto Europe many times and received competitive prices and good service. "
" The car provided was generally good, although it smelt as though someone had smoked in there. On returning the car, I was charged for a very fine scratch that I had not noticed on pick up but believe was there at the time of pick up. A junior member of staff was sent out to scour the car: He appeared to focus on certain areas of the bodywork, as if he knew where to look. I am pretty sure that the staff there are running a racket. Thankfully I had taken out comprehensive cover with Auto Europe but am significantly out of pocket until I am reimbursed. I have hired cars from Green Motion before at East Midlands, Gatwick and City Airports but will not do so in future. "

" The problem is that AutoEurope sent me a voucher saying I would have a meet and greet person at Euston Station. Green Motion say they don't do this and that AutoEurope should have known this. "
" On 30 December I had a car booked at Euston Station - meet and greet, as you'll see from voucher UK5551544. It said to call the company before the 11:00 pick up and I began to ring at 10:00. No one replied until 12 noon. In between I spoke to AutoEurope staff, who couldn't help, except to give me the number of the hire firm, Green Motion. When Green Motion eventually rang me back at noon, they told me they didn't do Meet and Greet - and that I 'had been misled by AutoEurope'. If I wanted a car, I would have to go to their office at 225 Edgware Road. I had to get a taxi to their office, for which I have a £15 receipt. So I was an hour behind schedule and £15 out of pocket - and I'd been told it was AutoEurope's fault, and not Green Motion. How poor is that! (Returning the car was almost as bad. I was told I'd have to pay for a scratch on the car (photo available). I bent down, rubbed the 'scratch' with a tissue and it disappeared. They offered no apology but at least withdrew their allegation that the car was damaged). "

" It depends on the outcome of our dispute with Green Motion "
" Our recent car rental from Green Motion (voucher # UK5513041; where we were given a Toyota Yaris cross hybrid; Reg #: RE23 KJX) was over the period 26th December to 2nd January to/from Manchester Airport. We were charged €840 for vehicle damage we DID NOT cause. Upon pick-up Green Motion did not check the vehicle over with us (either because their depot was crazy-busy at the time, or that is their new policy to shift the inspection responsibility to the customer) & we stupidly only checked the car when we arrived at our local destination 2+ hrs later (as it was chucking it down with rain on the morning of the 26th Dec) where we noticed damage to the rear left wheel arch & rear. We took photos immediately (see attached) & informed the Green Motion Manchester Airport office that same day (4-6 phone calls went unanswered, & then we emailed them later that evening) & we heard nothing in return.....no email nor phone call! Incidentally, during our drive into Manchester on the 26th Dec we were in no situation where the damage could have occurred. Upon returning the vehicle on the 2nd January, Green Motion immediately inspected the car and charged us £840 for the damage (ignoring our email from the 26th December) saying their CCTV footage of that morning showed no issues where the vehicle could have been damaged in the earlier turnaround. We have requested, but as yet have not been sent their CCTV footage, being adamant that we did not cause this vehicle damage!! During our Green Motion rental there were numerous other issues we noted (both with the vehicle, and the Green Motion Manchester Airport office); i.e. 1) The staff were unfriendly both at pick up & rude at return (curt, short responses to questions; not listening to thinks already said....& asking again; etc.) 2) The car hire site was a bombsite; i.e. gravelled & not tarmacked (thus it was really poor for manoeuvring heavy luggage); & full of craters & potholes which were hellish in the bad rainy weather. 3) The car was not full when picked up (we were told to bring it back full...then when returned we were told it was a 'like-for-like' fuel policy! 4) The windscreen wash ran out within 1-2 days (after only being used a few times); & 5) The vehicle was not 100% clean. We have of course disputed this directly with Green Motion but both the Manchester office & their National office but our complaints have fallen on deaf ears & they have said we have to pay the £840 damages! Do we have any recourse elsewhere? My wife & I concur that Green Motion's vehicle checks were sub-standard (incl. the noting of the previous damage inspection); & we vow to never hire from Green Motion again, and to inform all our friends/family of our atrocious experience with them. We have now since returned to Helsinki/Finland; but should you wish further information from me please let me know & I will happily provide whatever you require. "

On collection I did not have my passport and they insisted on further proof of identity. I eventually found a utility bill on my phone which met that requirement. On arrival at Glasgow airport I had to calll for the courtesy shuttle 3 times and it eventually arrived after 30 minutes - We could have walked to the off site Green Motion depot in in half the time!!! When we arrive at the green motion office off site there were 2 courtesy coaches sitting there. On our return to drop off the vehicle we had to wait again for the shuttle.......they had picked up a group of people at the airpirt who thought the courtesy coach was a general taxi service. We then had to wait for the drive to take that group back to the airport before it returned to pick us up. All in all a very unsatisfactory experience and I will not be using them again. "

" I have used A.E. frequently for my past rentals. I ALWAYS BOOK my rentals using a ZERO deductible option and thought I did so again on my latest booking . However on examination after the rental it seems as though that option was not available, instead GREEN MOTION only allows for a high deductible so that GREEN MOTION can SELL their own insurance to you. Furthermore Auto Europe is complicit in this scheme by agreeing to allow GREEN MOTION to do this. On calling A.E. to discuss the issue they shamefully rejected my query but instead turned it into MY FAULT for booking the way I did. With no option to cancel or amend the booking I had no choice but to accept the scam. However I did refuse to pay the extra fee to lower the deductible, and spent my travels diligently ensuring the vehicle would be returned in the condition I got it. Which by the way was not very clean either. I won't use either of these companies ever again. "

" Auto Europe and Green Motion - two different names, made this confusing. "
" I was surprised at the makeshift office at the Novotel car park. It didn't reflect a professional business along with confusion on which prefab did what etc. upon pick up, I found the service very average. Not only did we have to repeat all our personal information (it was explained to me this was because we went through a broker - as if I were an idiot and was being chastised). I personally don't care why - can a simple arrangement not be made? The assistant was so laid back she appeared to barely rustle up the energy to speak in a clear and audible manner and we regularly had to ask her to repeat herself (we are native English speakers - how on earth do non Native speakers cope I've no idea). She confused us both no end also and made so many assumptions about our rental knowledge- which is different according to who you go to - that again I felt like an idiot. When we asked for an upgrade, she mentioned a number of cars and models to us, which didn't mean anything to us given we live in Australia and are marketed differently. She at least brought us out to point to a car stating 'it's like this one'. To which I was very happy with. As hubby was closing the deal, I popped out and moved our multiple bags over to the said car. What a mistake that was!! When ready we were lead in the opposite direction to - yes the same make but a smaller model. I had expected the seven seater as was pointed out to us. I was utterly fed up about this and explained that this was not what she implied we were hiring. Again, being the idiot that I was she reiterated and emphasised'I said it was like that car', and I said 'yes - a seven seater' - which was far more convenient and I should have made this clear. This of course was an assumption she made at the beginning. 'it's just the two of you'. I should have explained that we were off to a wedding and extra seats would have been useful including having extra space for my terminal mum's wheelchair. I wasn't thinking straight and should have been specific however it was certainly implied when pointing out the car to us. She offered to change the car to a seven seater (3 times) without simply listening. I declined as she took so long to process the original hire - in excess of 40 mins at least. Once we got into the car it was evident it had not been cleaned to any kind of standard expected or completed with the more familiar hire companies. I can't see any reason nor incentive for me to go back there again (my third trip home in the last year). Overall, the assistant was sloppy, a poor communicator and came across as simply 'over it'. A tad unkind perhaps, yet we had travelled a long way, and needed much more seamless and professionalism, especially as we upgraded and availed of a number of add-ons. Not through her extraordinary up-selling I may add. Having said that, I did appreciate her pointing out a specific cover that was better value. "

I showed my policy to the staff member and he insisted the car was not covered. I was fully aware an excess hold would be placed on my credit card. I was bullied into purchasing additional insurance coverage from the Green Motion staff as were the two other customers in front of me. We were only given the option to purchase the 0 pound excess policy and that fee was negotiated. I have since discovered Green Motion offers a number of excess options. Customers are put on the spot especially after traveling all night without sleep and are at the mercy of the car rental agency. I would like a follow up in getting a refund the unnecessary additional insurance I was forced to purchase. Thank you. "

" I booked a full to full fuel policy and that is not what I got. "
" Check in was very slow. The rep brought us outside and asked us to wait for him to bring the car. We waited 20 minutes in the heat for him to come back. In addition, we had specifically booked with this company because the policy was a return fullnof fuel policy. When we received the car, it was so low on fuel that the warning alarm was on. The first thing we had to do therefore was to find a petrol station to put fuel into the car, and we ended up using significantly less fuel than we had put in. On returning the car, the checkin desks were empty and the reps weren't answering their phones. We had to wait 30 minutes just to return the keys. "

" Very slow to serve people taking over 2 hours to get car. I had already paid auto europe £229.24 then when we got to the counter I handed my credit card for security deposit he wouldn't take it as the first driver was in my sons name and he re done the booking and charged my credit card £256 plus £50 out of my sons credit card.

" Utterly disgraceful car rental company which quite evidently attempts to catch people out with the very tiniest of marks on the vehicle (in my case on the plastic casing below the front grille- could have been created with a finger nail as so insignificant). I didn't end up having to pay but my guess is that they stalk the weakest.

" Not happy with the car I was given. I booked a volvo v40 with auto europe or similar, what i got was a Seat Arona with a 1l engine. While the car was clean and tidy I chose the volvo for its size, especially the boot space as we had a lot of suitcases and bags. We had to leave items behind because we couldn't fit them in the car. A Seat Arona is not similar to a volvo v40. If you can get this right in the future then yes it would be a great service. "

There were 3 other customers walking around the car park looking for the office. There was no guidance or signs for drop off and, again, we were walking around the car park trying to find the office.

" The location of the green motion office was Terrible - Gard to find the bus, and the bus was not very regular and was a public bus service so had to be paid for £6. This was not flagged anywhere. The car I was provided with was not in great condition and had lots of dents. When I returned it, the agent went straight to some small scratches by the wheel arch. I was certain I had not caused them. He said customer service would be in touch. Customer service were not in touch. Instead, they took £380 charge from my card without informing me.

" Disappointed that these entry level companies are advertised on your site, any that I have used just come across as disingenuous. "
" The phone system said I only needed 3 pieces of information to pick up the car- dvla code, passport and driving license, there was no mention of proof of address on their IVR system. Also, the chap on the desk wanted to take my credit card before I paid for the deposit and write down the details. I will be reporting this to the ICO and would make me question how safe my data is. The windscreen washer was full of some substance which would not clean the window and I was unable to see properly which was extremely dangerous especially at night, I could have easily had an accident due to their lack of care when preparing the car. The hand back process was another joke, looking for a hair line scratch on the car that was dismissed after 20 minutes. It was a painful process from start to finish and I would never use again nor would I recommend to anyone. Better to pay that bit extra and go with a reputable company. Go cheap and risk being ripped or having an accident because you have zero visibility! "

" On returning the vehicle was told my deposit pre-authorisation would be cancelled and would see this in due time.

After contacting Green Motion and asking about this, they kept saying it was a pre-authorisation only until I showed them my Credit Card bill. Since that email, they have not replied once but at least 6 times when they said it was pre-authorisation. Just be careful to document the cars condition on collection and make sure you pay a pre-authorisation and not charged for the deposit.

On our return, the rental office didn't open until 07:00 and our flight left at 08:25 so it didn't leave us much time to drop the car off at Gatwick and get transfer to the airport. For earlier flights, the office should open earlier than 07:00. "
" The car, although a 19 reg, was marked and dented in quite a few places. Most worrying was that the form I was given stated that the car was over three-quarters full with petrol. Within a mile of driving it away I discovered that the fuel gauge was reading just over one quarter full. I had to return to the office to report this. If I hadn't noticed it would have meant that I would have had to return the car over three-quarters full of fuel instead of one quarter full.

" Not at all happy with this company. On arrival they demanded the green counterpart to my driving licence which is no longer issued. I then had to pay £15 for a phone call to the DVLA. The assistant was very rude & aggressive demanding I hand phone over to him whilst I was speaking with the DVLA. It took almost an hour before I was able to leave the office. I am thoroughly disgusted with the attitude of the staff. Definitely won't be using this company again! "

" Green motion are away from the airport and attract customers by offering very low prices, but they will jump on anything to increase the income. A 25mm x 2mm scratch on the very edge of a wheel is barely noticeable to the naked eye, and certainly does not warrant a charge of £140.And £96 to run a car through a car wash is robbery. "
" when i returned the car they said it was to dirty to inspect and charged me £96 for the cleaning. this was done the next day when i was not there. They claimed two tiny scratches on the wheel where down to me and have charged £280 of my credit card. they claim not to have a pressure washer on site have to go to a car wash several miles away. "

" My complaint about GreenmMotion are captured above. Moving forward, I think AutoEurope should drop this company as one included in their brokered list as their operating practices are highly questionable. I am clearly not the only one who thinks this. Other customers should be protected from the experience that I and others have had to go through with GreenMotion. "
" When we arrived on the 19th December, the Greenmotion service was very bad. The GreenMotion office was way understaffed (1 person to deal with 10+ customers). The representative said the car we had reserved through AutoEurope (on 3rd November) had been given to someone else as we were late. We actually had a delay due to a French air-traffic control strike, plus we were travelling as a family of 4 including two children 1 and 3 years, with 2 car seats, suitcases, and a stroller and also had to wait 30 minutes for the Greenmotion courtesy bus. We arrived approximately 1.5 hrs after the 18.30 pick up time. I have never had a car rental company assign a reserved car to someone else after this short period of time, especially as Greenmotion had my flight details, and given that they supposedly close at 8pm. He rudely said "do you think we track flights?" and that as the booking was through AutoEurope, Greenmotion hadn't been payed yet. I was first offered another more expensive. I complained that it was unacceptable as I had made the booking in early November. After 30 minutes we were offered a smaller car which was of inadequate size for our family (wife, me, 2 young kids), large suitcase, backpacks stroller and car seats. The Green motion representative said that we would only be able to have a car when one was returned which may mean that there was not sufficient time to clean it. Eventually after one 1 hr, a car Seat Leon car was made available after 1 hr of waiting. I am convinced this car should not have been rented out that night: • The Car Vehicle Condition Report Form was clearly not up-to-date with regards to mileage or existing damage (at the end of rental it recorded the physical impossibility of me driving 1112 miles when in fact it was more like 200m miles max). Staff did not proactively point out and mark new damage. I found several severe scruffs and scratches on a front left wheel and wheel arch not recorded on the condition form at the time of rental. • On leaving, the tires were found to be deflated by a dashboard warning light On returning the car, a GreenMotion representative performed an inspection and immediately went for a scratch low down on the front bumper which I had not originally spotted, and another mark on the back bumper which was I was told I would not be liable as it was less 2.5 cm. I raised a dispute regarding the damage being "new" damage as categorically no contact whatsoever was made during the rental period I had the car, and the majority of the time I had the car during the rental period (Christmas to New Year), it was parked in a private drive. Furthermore, there were several damages unrecorded on the condition report form which was clearly well out of date given the much lower mileage at the time of taking out the car. I was told by the person inspecting that first GreenMotion would check previous reports at head office for signs that the damage was already present on the car and that then they would contact me after 1-2 days with an outcome of the enquiries. The next thing I knew was my credit card used for the collision damage waiver excess was deducted for 519 GBP, without any warning, follow-up of the dispute outcome, or explanation. To this day I have not received a voluntary communication from GreenMotion, letter, phonecall or otherwise, on the outcome of the dispute or the justification of charging my credit card. This is unacceptable. The fees for the service /surcharge is way in excess of a repair costs. I asked Greenmotion on what basis are these damage charges calculated but I have received no reply. I unfortunately did not have a documented image of the front bumper scratch at the time of rental. However, I queried why I had been charged twice for identical damage itemized on the invoice "#165-Front Bumper - Scratch/Scuff 25-75 mm @242.250" After further emails with different GreenMotion Gatwick representatives who did not answer my question, I finally got the reply from someone different again confirming that I had not been charged for the same damage twice but that I had been charged once for the rear end damage as per the condition report form and also the damage marked to the front of the vehicle. I was not made aware of any liable damage to the rear bumper - the small mark on the rear bumper was less than 2.5 cm and already marked on GreenMotion's own Branch Copy as "OK". The latest experience with GreenMotion has been very unpleasant, on numerous accounts: • having no car available on December 2019 despite making a reservation in early November, • long waits of over an 1 hr, • rude, aggressive staff (summed up by a GreenMotion Representative when he said he didn't care when I said I would never be renting with them again) • non-transparent and honest condition of the car at the point of rental, inadequately checked car for damage; release of a car with servicing needs and potential safety issues (deflated tires) • being charged an extortionate amount for damage which I can categorically say with confidence I did not cause, and worse, without any communication or explanation in advance or after as to the reason, while a dispute was and is ongoing • Errors in accounting of damage (charged twice for same itemized damage) and excessive damage surcharges and services. • Lack of cooperativity in correspondences and answering customers very simple questions. In hindsight I looked for other complaints on the internet regarding GreenMotion and it seems the complaints described above come up very frequently, along with the suggestion by other costumers that non-disclosure of existing damage then finding this alleged "new" damage on inspection and charging extortionate damage fees is a series of an elaborately rehearsed plan. How long will it take before this company with these practices is banned from operating? One very Dissatisfied Customer "

" For a car hire company based at an airport not having a key drop facility without being forced to purchase their exhorbitant all risks policy is ridiculous. By restricting drop off to the hours of 6am to 10pm it is impossible to get an early flight when the drop off point is 15 minutes by shuttle from the terminal and the shuttle schedule is at best every 30 minutes meant having to cut short my trip and book a hotel night to drop the car the previous evening, (even then there was no one at the drop off cabin and I had to find someone from the pick up staff. A wholly unsatisfactory arrangement and smacks of restrictive practices to boost revenue that I thought had disappeared from 'reputable' car hire companies. "

" Have a "price guarantee", but don't adhere to it. On the site it says to email or phone the agents if you see the price cheaper. At night, the offices are closed so cannot call. Email is checked in the morning (including screenshots of cheaper price) and are told to call the number. When the number is called, a new price is showing (more expensive), and they say they can't do anything and that I should have "modified" the booking. Surely if that was true, it should have mentioned on the site rather than tell me to first email and then call again. "

" The people at the front desk were super helpful and accommodating especially ROHEEL, who went out of his way to make sure I left with a car despite certain limits on my credit card. However, the total opposite happened at the end where you have to actually pick the car up and drop it off. The people who served me were unfriendly and acted like they didn't care, which was probably the case. On returning and dropping off the car the person who was in charge of this task gave me some disappointing news and although I should have taken photos at the beginning ( I didn't as it was raining) I was told the car had damage which I didn't do and some scratches which were barely visible. I was charged the entire deposit which left me very disappointed, first with myself for not having taken the photos and then with the service at the end as well as the money taken for damage which was there previously. Please take the time to check the car before you drive off and make sure you take photos of every little sign of damage. Otherwise you will be suffering the consequences unnecessarily. "

" Ripped off by Green Motion supposedly because of Auto Europe's rigid requirements. "
" Travelling from Jersey, part of the British Isles, to Birmingham, UK I do NOT require a Passport. The desk at the Green Motion office at Birmingham Airport insisted that I required one to take a car booked via yourselves and it was your requirement which could not be ignored. I had a Jersey photographic licence, the paper version of my Jersey Licence WITH a photograph reproduced on it and containing my home address. Also I had an official Government of Jersey communication in the form of my Income Tax Assessment that I had received that morning and I was using as a second proof of address. I was informed that no matter that I have my own Annual Car Hire Insurance that because I was from outside the UK they compelled me to pay £260.98 extra insurance to "cover them" as I had booked via an agency: yourselves and it was you, Auto Europe, that demanded a Passport even for Channel Island residents! As this was 9 pm just before Christmas and I had some miles to go I had to comply with what I consider BLATANT ROBBERY! Just because I was a Jersey resident arriving late before a holiday, and even though I am a Citizen of the United Kingdom, I have been ripped off. "

I think that everything should be inclusive when booking this would save any shocks when you collect your vehicle.

" Wasnt told at booking that the collection office closed at 9pm... our collection was booked for 9pm!! This gave us no room for delays! Of course we had a delay which ended to be almost 10hours. As soon as this was known (within the first hour of delay) my mum (who was in the UK) tried to change our collection to another location to try and ease our logistics with our new arrival time. Auto europe said no changes by 48hours.. yet green motion said had we not booked through auto Europe we could have changed this but wouldn't having booked through auto Europe. Overall it was the most worrisome experience. I only found out 2 days before departure that the office closed at 9pm. I called the location who reassured me they would wait. However we ended up having a long delay ans the situation just went from bad to worse. "
" After a 9 hour delay and my mother calling the company 6hours before initial collection to inform of delay we were told we couldn't change location but the car would be available between 7-11am the next day(when we finally arrive 7.30am) on arrival a very rude man (Sab) was immediately aggressive telling me the car had gone because I didnt collect it and they had waited until a hour past the original collection time (despite being told we would not be landing until the next day) Sab continued to tell me to shut up and listen. Tried to make me pay to have a bigger car and when I refused he told me it was my fault because I should have personally called (despite being on a plane!!) To inform them. After a stressful altercation with a baby in tow I agreed I had no choice but to pay the £200 extra to have a car as I was now stranded however when I asked to take the assistants name he became aggressive and refused to serve me, first telling me I should wait a hour for the manager to arrive and then telling the other assistant he had to serve me. Finally once the office began to fill up Sab decided he now wanted to serve me and I should be grateful as he had now found me a car the same size and I didnt need to pay but it would take from someone else's booking. He tried hard to sell us additional insurance despite my husband having researched and spoken to our credit card company prior Sab was sure we were wrong. Finally after a very stressful morning we finally left with a clio. It was very clear from the moment we walked in this guys tactic was to try and bully us into paying to upgrade our booking. He was rude and aggressive and should not be dealing with customers face to face! After a very long stressful journey with a new baby ( he also barked at us whether we had a car seat for 'that baby' despite clearly seeing we had one on top of all our luggage) this was the last thing we needed to complete our journey for xmas. Whilst the condition of the car was ok it literally had 0 miles fuel in the tank and my husband had to go in and ask for directions to the nearest petrol station! The only other thing we didnt know was the shuttle from the airport to the collection site cost £6 each one way! Seems a little steep. Drop off was fine the girl was quick and pleasant. "

" To pick up the car, it took one hour. In your email to me, you did not specify that I needed a DVLA check code. In order to get it there and then, I needed my NI number which I fortunately carry with me. Otherwise, I would have been stranded in Stansted. Personally, I did not like the Honda Civic we were given. The engine was very loud so we could not have a conversation in the car without shouting. Also the passenger who had to sit in the back, was very uncomfortable with the lack of space. I also found out that Greenmotion do NOT have any VW golf cars at all. So, to sum things up, pick up could have been a lot smoother, if I had been given all necessary information. Plus, we were not happy with the 'like for like' car, as we felt this was a downgrade. "

" So, I was not aware that I had to bring credit card. But I managed to get someone to drop off my credit card to me. Then the assistant said I need to queue again and at this point I was there waiting for 1.5 hours just to be seen. However, then my card did not work because I didn't have 2500 available to block on my card, which I was not informed I needed. The assistant said my only option was to pay £96 to reduce the excess to 400. Which I was not happy about, but had no choice but to do it as he said this was my only option and I had made plans to use the car, therefore I made the payment for the extra cost. Also when I received the car, everything looked fine except for the next day I realised it had no water fluid, which I topped up. Then I realised there was no anti-freeze, which could have been dangerous.

However, I do feel extremely let down by the customer service of Green Motion on this particular occasion and I intend on taking the matter further. I would urge Auto Europe to contact Green Motion on my behalf to make them aware of their staff's poor conduct for this particular rental. "
" I encountered a v.pushy member of staff at Green Motion who tried every trick in the book to upsell me insurance and to upgrade my vehicle. When I declined he warned me that any scratch on the vehicle would result in having to pay the full excess of £1200... this was clearly designed to scare me into reducing the excess. When we went outside to look over the vehicle he asked me to sign the document without having even checked the condition of the exterior. I felt rushed and consequently missed a small chip on the rear bumper... (NB. This should have been pointed out to me by the staff member at the time, but was not) When I returned the vehicle 3 days later the same member of staff drew my attention to the small chip on the rear bumper and followed up by saying I would need to pay a charge for it. Thankfully, his Manager pointed out that the mark was already on the vehicle prior to my hire period and I would not need to pay. The conduct of this Green Motion member of staff was v.poor indeed, so much so I am considering filing an official complaint against him. "

" Kindly advise how to attach pictures to my review "
" Unfortunately, I feel I am the victim of a scam; I utterly disappointed, dejected and feel to have been coned by a company who is only there to rip people of their money. I picked my car on 9 November after too much hassle at the counter. Kept the vehicle in good state and came to return the vehicle on 24 Nov per agreement. The person responsible for checking the go round the vehicle and in a minute to my sheer surprised told me that I have damaged the vehicle. Initially, I thought he was joking with me and I returned his remarks with a joke. But then the person told me to look at the bonnet, "there is a scratch". I was surprised and leaned over the bonnet. I was still unable to find anything. I asked him again an this time he showed me "two tiny lines on the bonnet", which was impossible for me to see wit my naked eye. I disputed his claim of any damage and took a few pics for any eventuality. Today, I checked my bank account to find that my credit card has been charged an extra $550.23 by Green Motion. I have contacted my bank to tell them about the fraud green motion committed, who has sent me a form to fill so that they investigate the matter. I want to attach the pics I took of the "DAMAGE" that costed me $550.23 for your information and perusal but I dont know how can I do that. . I have already spoken to Diogo, one of your representatives on the phone. I request my matter is resolved amicably without the need to go to a court. Looking forward to your early response in the matter. Thank you Kind regards! "

I used the card to drive to a friends house in the countryside, it was parked in front of her house, I visited another friend and drove back. possibly 50 miles roundtrip. I refused to accept the damage because there isn't any. He has withheld my deposit. Iv tried nand tried to get someone in Customer to answer the phone. I will not accept this as service, its just scamming people and its wrong. I really would appreciate your help. Ican send the photos if you give me an email to send to. Kind regards, "

" I believe that there was a serious lack of clarity and I am very disappointed with the service. "
" I am presently in dispute with Green Motion. At the time we collected the car we told them we intended to travel to Fort William and that we intended to return the car on sunday night rather than Monday afternoon. The journey to FW is 125 miles each way so we clearly needed three days of mileage. We were not told we would be only allocated two days of mileage if we returned the car early. We were charged for 40 miles of excess mileage when returned the car which we had incurred because of an extensive detour when the road was closed. We then were charged on Tuesday £36 for a further 135 excess miles because GM claim the car was returned early. We were not told this charge would be levied at pick up or drop off, and we have been double charged for a portion of the excess miles. The service is deplorable. "

Similarly, even the slightest mark counts as claimable damage, no minimum allowed. I caused a small scrape on the car and was dealt with very sympathetically and professionally. I have no complaints re the staff at all. "

" Pick up at the airport was great a very nice driver. Receptionist at the office just confused us completely about taking extra insurance. On returning the vehicle he immediately found a small nick on an alloy which I do have a photo of. He immediately charged me £135 pounds saying I can claim it back. He admitted it was probably caused by the road surface as it wasn't a scuff. I came away feeling so upset as the car had hardly been used in the time I had it and I'd been so careful.

" Auto Europe should discuss the issue of a non-existent 'full to full' fuel policy with Green Motion, as if this is incorrect and 'just what the broker tell you', potential customers shouldn't be misled - as I was. "
" On pick up I was advised that the 'full to full' fuel policy (which is standard these days for all reputable hire car companies) advertised on AutoEurope did not apply to Green Motion, and that their company policy is 'return the car with the current fuel level'. So right from the off I had to start with a car with no fuel, and return it empty (otherwise I would be giving them free fuel at the end of my hire). I had forgotten my passport (strange requirement for a domestic booking - what if I had no passport?) and so had to return home to get this - by which time they had released my booking (I paid extra for an estate), so they could only offer me a smaller car, or charge me extra for an automatic estate (which would have made the total hire cost x3!). I wasn't given time to inspect the vehicle on pick-up either, instead being advised I had until 10am to email over photos of any pre-existing damage, but no email address was provided, so I had to send these to the generic customer services email. They advised me they would pass this over to the branch and come back to me, but never did. Judging by the reviews that others have left for Green Motion, I spent the entire rental fearing they would try to charge me for pre-existing damage. Drop-off wasn't much better, as I was told to 'go and wait for someone to come out to you in the car park'. When I parked the car, I was asked to move it to another part of the car park, and then after parking a 2nd time, the guy again changed his mind and asked me to park it somewhere else (didn't know I was a valet working for them!). All of this took best part of 45 minutes, far from ideal when I had someone waiting to take me home, and the maximum waiting time for anyone in this car park without paying was 15 mins! Can only imagine that if I had a flight to catch then they would have made me miss it! On asking for a copy of the completed and signed-off rental agreement after drop-off, I was advised they would email me a copy. It's now been 5 days and I'm still waiting! Conclusion: cheap for a reason. "

" Picking the vehicle up was a nightmare. The collection point was easy enough to find at MCR airport but the bus wasn't marked up at all. I waited 20 minutes before calling green motion. Their automated response was to look for a blue and yellow bus marked with their logo. The bus was actually GREY and marked with TOAD PARKING. Not at all helpful and took me 40mins to locate! On arrival, the bus dropped me about 200-300 meters away from the site office which was useless in the rain with a 23KG case. It turns out the actual drop off/collection reception is just around the corner from the office so I don't know why the bus didn't go there.

I wanted to pull the car forwards to check around the back but he said to just take a video which would have been useless in the dark! This left me wondering what to expect when I returned the car. When I returned the car the same guy carried out the inspection and said there were no issues but failed to give me a copy of the paperwork confirming that so I'm still expecting hidden charges to appear on my credit card. All in all, going with the cheaper car rental from Green Motion turned out not to be worth the few pounds I saved. "

" on collection the member of staff was so unhelpful, he refused to rent the car to us, because we did not have the NI number. I am retired, and live in France. We then were told we had to pay more to get the car we ordered an estate, another argument, we refused and accepted a small compact car. The car was empty with fuel, the warning signal sounded just outside their premises., this was supposed to be a full to full rental car. I never rent any car that is empty to empty., I avoid all of these when booking. The collection took around 1 hour or more, and no-one else waiting, it was hold up after hold up with the member of staff. I had passport, and driving licence with me and your voucher. Nothing else was stated in the voucher to take to the collection of this vehicle. The car was too small for my needs, which is why i wanted an estate car. "

" I would never use Greenmotion or reccomend them to anyone. In fact i will be actively advising them to avoid them like the palague. When i went in they were rude and took over 2 hours to serve me as there were not enough staff. I was expecting to be out in half hour and so my wife ended getting a parking ticket as she had to wait for me. The same happened when i handed my car back to, both having to wait and getting a parking ticket. Also i spent over half hour checkin the car after picking it up for the numerous marks when was very conveniently not on their records. When handing the car back to spotted one mark i missed very quickly which made me think that it was there previously. I would not be surprised if none of the marks i told them about when i picked the car up and the one mark they picked up when i handed it back are not noted and the next person who gets the car is charged for those. I am surprises then you continue to use Greenmotion as there are many very bad reviews online. "
" i purchased additional cover to ensure that i would get my any excess refunded and submitted a claim. It has been over 2 weeks and i have still not had any response from the claims team. I have sent two follow up emails and got an auto response saying that they would come back to me within 2-3 days and i have not heard anything back.

When I took the car back they pointed out only two wheels were scuffed and insisted they charge me £160 for a replacement alloy. I have since learned that they do this very regularly and in fact the NCP car hire people who share the site with them really want them to leave as they are fed up hearing the same complaints about them.

" I turned up at the off airport office on Friday 23 August. I was "served" by Brian. There was a long queue and cars seemed to be in short supply. I presented my forms for a pre booked car and my DVLA form showing I have no convictions. I was then asked for my passport which was odd as I did not need it to travel to Scotland but I did have it. I was then asked for a credit card which I did not have although I did have a debit card. I also offered the card held by my friend. This was refused and Brian said that a debit card was unacceptable. he then went on to say that if I was to pay the full price for the booking (£140) the debit card would be OK. Odd I went to two other car hire offices on the airport and neither said they would insist on a credit card for a pre booked car. It seemed to me that Brian was trying to lose the booking so that he could sell the cars at a higher price to another waiting customer. I was not the only customer who was turned away when I was there. The other hire companies could not supply a small car and in the end I had to take a taxi to my destination at a cost of £80.

" Staff try to oversell. e.g. people there with car hire insurance were told it wasn't good enough and manipulated into buying Green Motion's; mine costs £45 per year (for home and abroad) their's is £? per day. Also, I said that I wouldn't be using the full mileage allowance and the guy still tried to get me to pay extra per day (it was £3 plus per day!) What he didn't say was that extra miles are charged at 20p per mile - far more economical if you do go over by a few miles. The systems are so slow and the staff generally slower. There's an Irish guy who is cheerful, helpful and fair but the others are younger, surly and uncaring. They really do not seem to care that people wait in a queue here for hours on end. However, the car was great and cheap - a Seat Ibiza FR ,3500 miles on the clock and £10 a day. On that basis I'd go back. If you do hire from here be warned and give yourself a few hours to pick up the car. "

" The website was fine "
" I arrived at the Green Motion desk following a 24 hour journey, to find that there was a queue that lasted several hours to get through. The staff were overworked and not sympathetic to the needs of clients, some asked certain questions, others didnt and it was all very chaotic. When I finally received a vehicle, it only had a quarter of a tank of diesel and I was informed this was normal. I am still unsure how one is supposed to ensure a quarter of a tank again on return. The car then broke down a week into our holiday, and although Green Motion central telephone number staff were helpful, they informed me that I had to speak to their Heathrow depot where I had collected the vehicle. I was asked to take the vehicle to the main dealer and told that they would organise a replacement vehicle. I did so, and the main dealer informed me of the issue but said that it was Green Motions responsibility. I spoke to Green Motion central staff again, who then called the RAC. Following four hours waiting for the RAC, they were very helpful. They called Green Motion in Heathrow who said that it was not their issue and it was a main dealer problem and were absolutely no help whatsoever. The RAC then organised for me to get a follow on vehicle via their policy, although this in itself took 24 hours and I received a vehicle from Enterprise rental who were helpful, courteous and efficient, none of which could be said for Green Motion.

A bit scary.

I am astonished that such an unprofessional and dishonest company is still in business. I regret to say that my trust in Auto Europe has been negatively impacted by this bad experience. "
" Green Motion is an unprofessional, unsafe and dishonest car rental. They assigned me a vehicle with an heavily damaged tire (it would have not passed an MOT), the damaged was unreported in the checkout form and it was a serious safety hazard. After my complain they assigned me a second vehicle, on which I found other evident damages, once again unreported in the checkout form. I updated the form with the staff and collected the vehicle. When returning the vehicle Green Motion charged me for a tiny dent (less than 10 mm), practically invisible by bare eye, which they only found using a reflection metric tool. Despite my several complains to Green Motion customer service they still have not refunded the illicit charges. "

" Auto Europe are a good company to book through I have used them several times with good results. They offer a wide choice of rental companies to use. Choose wisely and read ALL the small print! There are many companies that do not show all fees up front. Green Motion were excellent and highly recommended. No small print with unexpected fees. We had unlimited mileage and £0 zero excess CDW which was very hard to find when I was booking. Customer service was good, car new and clean, the airport bus now picks up and drops off at their depot every 20 minutes. I have had serious problems with other companies but no problems at all with Green Motion. I would definitely use them again. "

" After my booking with auto rental on the 29th, I travelled 30mins to pick up my rental car at green motion. All was well when I got there. He asked for all my documents and I gave that to him. he proceeded to sell me an insurance which worked out for the 9 days at 162 pounds. Further from looking through my booking reservation (and struggling to understand why I need this extra insurance) I told the customer service employee that this has already been covered by auto rental.. however he proceeded sell me this extra insurance for "piece of mind". I did explain that this is something that has already been covered by auto rental! But he said that this is what I will need. (FYI Not needed as already covered - so basically I'm paying an extra £162 for my cover). He convinced me and after that I proceeded to go ahead with the booking. Having thought about it for a couple of minutes whilst I was in green motion offices, I double checked and ensured that I definetly did not need it! So I explained to the customer service person why I don't need it and he said.. "it means that you have to do extra paper work to get the money back from the brokers". Anyways, I said no I would like to get that 162 pound refunded to me please. Soon after saying that and him processing the refund, he happen to just notice very very conveniently that I have points on my licence 7. Can I just stress that this is after 15minutes Of him asking me for my Dvla code, drivers licence and all my personal details!! This is all because I requested not to go ahead with the insurance that he was trying to sell me. And I requested to have the money refunded to my card!! Very very incredibly disgusted by this!!! And definetly never hiring a car from green motion again! Also I note that whilst I was there I overheard them trying to sell this "extra insurance" to a different customer, which he declined! So he refused to rent me the car due to my points even though I still have a full driving licence!! Further from that, there is NO wording in green motions policy stating that they have a licence policy of 6 points or less in order to higher out a car!! Absolutely horrible service at green motion!!! Completely disrupted my week!! "

" See above comment about Green Motion, since you are both involved. "
" The only complaint is that the voucher stated that the Shuttle A to Hampton by Hilton would be at bus stand D. This is wrong, and fundamentally misleading. A bus (not A) arrived at D. I told the driver I wanted bus A, and he said it was at another stand, something like G. He said that it often was. At Green Motion, the chap said that the bus was indeed sometimes at G. This is not good enough, and it was a good thing I asked someone. When I returned the car, and took bus A to the airport, it AGAIN stopped at stand G, not A. You have to correct your advice. I bet more than one person has been caught out like this. "

" Green Motion Bristol airport - avoid at all cost! I rented a car for 4 days in Bristol through Autoeurope and got a car from Green Motion, who I wasn't familiar with. Their Bristol Airport location isn't really at the airport but a long walk away in a yard shared with an hotel and with only 1 small room. At the office they asked me a card and I showed my FINECO mastercard credit card. They suddenly told me that it was'nt a "credit" but a "debit". They pointed at a small sign "debit" reported on the card. It is a FINECO Mastercard Multifunction Card that in addition to credit can be a debit card (only in Italy, Pagobancomat circuit). I used it everywhere in UK with no problem. I used equally at another car rent in Edimburg last september 2018 (Enterprise car rent). They sayed since it was a debit card I had to pay £ 17,00 per day more. I phoned the help desk of my bank and they immediatly emailed me certifying the card as a Credit Card, but the boss did'nt even wanted read the email. I insisted to try it at the terminal and he answered that their terminal does not recognise the card as a real credit card. I was furious but I had to accept the situation and pay £ 78,00 (the real renting fee was £ 34,00). At this point they gave me the car. It was a Renault Clio instead of the FIAT 500 booked online. I asked if it had the spare weel and they answered: "No problem, It's a new car". I opened the hatchback and I found no spare wheel and no inflating device. I had to wait more 15 minutes another Clio with spare wheel. The staff were very rude to me and I'm sure to have been ripped off. This experience spoiled my day in Bristol. "

" Green Motion is a very irresponsible car hirer by trying to cheat customers by threatened to buy their insurance of £450 although I had purchase extra coverage insurance by AutoEurope.Since we refused to purchase their insurance they had given us not full size MpV ( 7 seater) as promised earlier during booking i.e Ford Galaxy ... but gave Kia Carens (5+2)...they didn't accept insurance purchased thru AutoEurope and threatened to block our deposit of £1700 if anything happened ( even small scratches) to the rented car.. their attitude is so unethical and i will mot hire car through Green Motion again after this ..

" On telephoning Auto Europe to explain the problems we had encountered, we were very impressed with the way they handled the situation. We have booked through them many times before and have always been very pleased. "
" We did not actually take the car due to a combination of factors- 1. their bus drove us around for 30 minutes before dropping us down an unlit dirt track to an unmarked portacabin. 2. the attitude of the staff and the exorbitant additional charges (£50 per day) they demanded when we already had insurance 3. We actually thought it was a scam and did not want to leave our credit card details for obvious reasons. 4. We have rented cars dozens of times throughout the world and have never had such a bad experience. 5. We had to incur additional expenses in using taxis as we felt we could not take the rental car we had paid upfront for. "

" When we arrived at Bristol airport we called the company to pick us up. The 1St mini bus arrived and left full. We had to call again for the bus to return. We were taken to a small office a short distance away. I was asked for my drivers license and national insurance number the booking confirmation. The member of staff asked for a credit card for the deposit which was £1200. I don't have a credit card and they would not accept my wife's. So we had to pay an extra £36 for 2 days as I had to put the deposit on my visa card and they took £400 deposit which I was told would be released a few days after the car was returned. (this took a week).Whilst in the office I could hear another family struggling to sort out their deposit too. The staff were abrupt and unfriendly. We eventually went outside to a Renault Clio. The member of staff walked around the car while we inspected the car for any known damage. The staff had a clipboard with map of the car and when he checked the map he was convinced that the rear alloy wheel should have been damaged but when we checked there was nothing at all wrong with it. He then continued to check the car and noted any previous scuffs to the wheels. He then stated that the cars fuel should be returned to the same amount as it was on the return. It was about 3/4 full. I don't know why they don't do full to full but I had to fill it prior to leaving our final destination and just before we got back to the company as it was just under. I took a photo on my phone as proof and reminder. When we returned the car the next day we went into the office to return the keys. I had already said to my wife I was uncomfortable with the whole set up. A female staff member said she'd check the car over. We went outside to the car. She checked the mileage and fuel. (your only allowed 92 miles per day). She then began to check the outside of the car. She briskly walked around the car then promptly stopped at the front of the car as if she knew where to stop exactly. She then pointed out a very minor scratch under the front bumper skirt which looked more like dried car wax Polish to me. She said that this was a new scratch as it wasn't documented on the car map which was done the day earlier. I knew I hadn't done this and informed her the car had not been in any collision and had been parked in a field as we'd been to a wedding. I think if I'd given a different reaction it would have been just what she wanted so I'd have to pay for the damage. She stated she'd check on the computer to see if the scratch had been previously noted. She checked and stated that there was nothing recorded. I again informed her I was not responsible for the damage so she checked the previous customers map sheet of the car and she confirmed it was last customer and that their computer hadn't been updated. Though I wasn't convinced this was true as she didn't show me the sheet. I definitely would not use this company again. I would advise anyone considering this company to look elsewhere as I feel that you'll get scammed anyway they can. "

" Auto Europe, presumably based on price, recommended Green Motion however given my experience I will no longer be using your services. "
" Comments on the service provided by Green Motion. On arrival at your car hire facility at Edinburgh Airport I had to wait 1½ hours in a queue before we were eventually served by your staff. It required yet another ½ hour, making 2 hours in total, before we could then leave the Green Motion premises. This I found totally unacceptable. On returning the vehicle I was confronted by GM staff that an Alloy wheel had been scratched. I will again emphasise that this damage was not caused by me but having incurred excessive loss of time and with children in our party I failed to give the vehicle sufficient examination before leaving their premises. Based therefore on my experience on this occasion and despite having incurred the expenditure for a new alloy wheel, I have considerable doubt that the wheel will be replaced . It is my belief that a future customer is again likely to be confronted with the same allegation! You should be aware that my stepson also collected a vehicle from the GM Edinburgh Airport premises at the same time and on return was also taken to task by GM staff regarding superficial damage to a door however on this occasion he had, fortunately, taken a photograph which evidenced that the damage had been existing prior to collection of the vehicle. Again, this damage had not been highlighted on the Vehicle Condition Form. To make matters even worse, the monies blocked from his credit card have not yet been returned to his account and it is now 3 weeks since he returned the vehicle. This is, in my opinion, totally illegal. I have used Green Motion on a number of occasions in the past but it is obvious to me that a completely different culture, thro' a change of management, has been introduced to Green Motion. You will appreciate therefore that I have considerable dissatisfaction as to the quality of service and a deep suspicion as to the professionalism of their staff. I will no longer be using Green Motion for future car hire. "

" It was OK but I have a critic, I rented first time at greenmotion, when I drop off the car a stuff investigated car very detailed, cleaned dust on the car with his hand for trying to find like scratch etc.. Disappointed situation for me because when I drop off to Hertz sometimes they didn't even investigate. He found a minor scratch and told me it will be charge if you don't have insurance. I had insurance and no charged for me but I surprised because difficult to see it and I don't know who did this maybe me but mostly I didn't. They showed me the car firstly but I didn't investigate detailed minor things also your stuff too and also any customer don't do. Seems like a tricky even if you don't. "

" We booked well in advance and feel let down at having to pay an additional £180 for a car. We were on a strict budget and having this additional cost put an extra stress on our trip. "
" We booked a VW estate car (or similar) and on arrival was told they didn't have VW estate car (or similar) and was offered a Ford Focus Hatch. As we were travelling with a one year old child and having 4 suitcases plus a stroller, this was too small. We were offered an upgrade to a Kia Optima at an increase of £10 per day. We had no alternative but to take this option as we needed to get to our destination. The car was also a diesel, which we didn't want either. There was a Sat Nav installed, but this was out of date and on two occasions mislead us to our destination. I will never use this company again. "

" I was quoted £49.11 but actually ended up paying £196.11 (£30 child booster seat was extra). Not only did I only book with you because of the quoted fee, I only booked the trip because the cheap flights and cheap car hire made the trip affordable. Had I known the actual cost I wouldn't have travelled at all or would have travelled by different means. I feel like I've been mugged by Green Motion and strongly recommend you drop them as partners. "
" Hidden charges of £117 for insurance which I've written to you about and want refunded. Petrol tank quarter full, no vehicle inspection when I picked up the car but had to sign at the counter to say it had been inspected. Full inspection on return though. No guidance from staff on how to start the vehicle or use it's features. Half hourly bus service to off-site hotel near the airport not frequent enough for travellers, caused us delays. It remains to be seen whether they'll fraudulently keep the £125 I had to authorise on my debit card in case of speeding offences or fines. Don't trust them. All in all a shit experience! "

" I needed to provide a credit card to hold the excess amount on. I phoned my husband to get the details of the credit card but Green motion told me he had to be physically present and because I was in London and he was in Edinburgh, my only other option was to pay nearly £40 per day for full insurance. I was trying to budget with a cheap option and so i was very unhappy to pay such an amount. I got an email apologising when I feedback but their apology didn't help my bank balance. "

I was told this was not possible (not very helpful, considering I had already paid for the hire and theoretically I was only asking to park it overnight at your premises instead of at my daughters house) I was then told that I would receive a full refund.

" Nothing to add "
" This is the review I left on Trustpilot Last week, I collected a vehicle I had booked at Stansted airport. I advised the agent that I needed to return the vehicle earlier than expected to be informed that if this was to be before 6am, then I would have to take full insurance at a cost of GBP156 for 4 days! I hire cars regularly and have never come across such a blatant price gouging policy. Furthermore, the original car they were going to provide was not ready and so I was offered an alternate vehicle to avoid waiting. This vehicle was so low on fuel that a warning came up that there was not enough fuel to proceed! The vehicle was also not clean inside and had exterior damage. I regret that I shall not be using Green Motion again, at Stansted or elsewhere, and would caution others to beware if they want to avoid blatant price gouging. "

" The car itself was in good condition but I have one or two issues mainly with the valeting, which was a problem because it was dark when I arrived and I do not know the area. Firstly, the rear view mirror was filthy as was the inside of the front window. The headrests on the back seats had been left up and, on such a small car, made it difficult to see out the back window. However, my main issue was that I was given the car with enough fuel for only 6 miles. For someone who doesn't know the area, I found that an unacceptably small amount of fuel. I had driven off when I noticed and had I not looked at it I could have run out of fuel on the motorway. The very least I would have expected was to be warned of this and directed to the nearest petrol station! "

" They used the 'small print' to insist that I took out over £100 of additional insurance. They argued that because I did not have two proof of address that I was a risk and therefore they would not let me have a car without taking their insurance. I had passport, driving licence (and the noticed of penalties), bank statement but they wanted a utility bill. They would not let me have a car without the extra insurance. Their offices are a 10 min drive from the airport. The sale was also very pressured...he kept saying it was only an extra £12 and I could leave straight away...what I did not notice until I paid the bill was that it was £12 plus VAT extra per day! Tne insurance was nit even that good...there was still a £400 excess which I was told was the minimum charge for any damage whatsoever.On returning the vehicle I got the impression that the guy was looking for any minor blemish...looking at the surface from all angles to show any problems up in the light....on pick up no such detailed check was done. OK I did not have everything on me that was in the small print....but these are the first company that have ever demanded two prood of address. Either put this requirement clearly on the front page or remove this comonay form your list. I eventually paid over £150 for the renatl when I was exoecting £50. "

" TO AUTO-EUROPE: Your email confirmation of the booking clearly outlined what I needed to bring. This was the exact statement in your email: "Tips for a Smooth Car Hire Experience - You will need the following documents to pick up the car: a driving licence, passport, voucher and credit card. All the documents must be in the name of the main driver." It was ALL BUT a smooth car hire experience. I lost hours, had to pay extra and am dealing with admin weeks after the hire. I'd appreciate a gesture of goodwill from your end too as that email communication is NOT what's needed to pick up a car at your partner (green motion). "
" This is the complaint I sent to GREEN MOTION (they have now offered a partial refund): A RECOUNT OF THE INCIDENT: On Saturday the 22nd of December 2018, I went to pick-up my rental car at the Edgeware Road Green Motion location. The Auto Europe email instructed to bring the following: credit card, driving licence, passport & voucher. I showed all these documents on arrival, but the representative told me I can't get the car as I didn't bring two proofs of address, and that the only way to get the car (in the absence of these proofs of address) was to get FULL Green Motion insurance at GBP 256 for the rental period. I showed him the above email from Auto Europe and he said that it wasn't correct. I asked him to show me where it stated that I needed proof of address. He then pointed me to the fine print buried on Page 3 of the Auto Europe Voucher, which stated the following: "forms of proof of address must be hard copy (printed)". I told him I'm on Paperless Billing for all my utilities and logged-in to Thames Water (Water bill) to show this. I offered to go to a print shop nearby to print the two statements required. He refused and said the statements needed to be POSTED to me. This is NOT what the above requirement states. It says it must be a "hard copy (paper)," NOT that it needs to be posted. I asked how they would know if I would leave and print it myself and come back. They said they wouldn't accept it because they now knew I would do that. I asked how we could get passed this so I could take the car and get my family on our way to our Christmas destination. A colleague showed up and mentioned they only way was to pay PARTIAL insurance at GBP 208 for the rental period. This PARTIAL option was different than the initial "only" option to pay the "FULL" coverage, so it was clear to me there was no set "rule" for this but just a way for Green Motion to squeeze more money out of their customers. I also told them I already had purchased Auto Europe insurance, but they said that's not accepted in this case. I asked to speak to a manager to get this resolved. From that moment onwards, I dealt with Liton Shah. I told him the above story and asked for a resolution. He was very unprofessional and unpleasant to deal with, and not willing to help find a resolution. I even offered to log-in to ALL my online portals in front of him (Banking, Council tax, Scottish Power etc.) to show my address on there. He refused and said I could have created fake log-ins for all of them. At that stage I was already in there for 90 minutes and I needed to get on my way so I opted to pay the GBP 208 and dispute it later. He then didn't let me pay and accused me of not agreeing with the Ts&Cs and threatened to cancel the reservation instead. This was just absurd, I'm a customer, why am I not treated like one? He forced me to call Auto Europe and get them to tell him I agreed on the Ts&Cs. To be able to get the car and be on my way, I had no other option. After completing this I paid the forced insurance and 2 hours after walking in I could finally start my Christmas vacation. Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience and I was robbed of hundreds of pounds by being forced to buy insurance with no basis in their Ts&Cs that only require a "hard copy (paper)," NOT a posted copy. ------------------------- "

" The day we arrived from Spain was on the last day of the Drone problems. As a result (and through no fault of ours) we arrived 20 mins after the 2 hour cutoff. 10 mins of this was waiting for the Green Motion shuttle to collect us and take us to their offsite depot. When we arrived at the office, we were told that the car we had booked was no longer available, but they could upgrade us at extra cost, we had no choice. No sympathy about the drone problems and I think they just saw it as an opportunity to claw more money off us. In my opinion, the booked car was still onsite and there was no evidence of people queuing for cars and guess that the car we had booked was probably still onsite! We were also told that the replacement car was a hybrid and we would save money on fuel....it was NOT a hybrid, so another excuse. I had texted from Spain before our flight to say we were likely to be delayed because of the drone problems, but this obviously meant nothing. Green Motion would NOT be my first choice in the future.

" I know the staff are just doing their job, but Green Motion's terms and conditions expect you to jump through a number of hoops to get a car rental (we were told this is due to the insurance). They require two proofs of address that have been posted to your address in the last 3 months. A. They don't make this clear enough beforehand and B. In the paperless world we're in, this is becoming a harder requirement to achieve. In the end we had to go to our bank to sign and stamp a statement (luckily our bank was open on a Saturday but this isn't always the case). Dated requirements from a dated company. "

" I was given a car without a luggage tray. I picked it up at night, car has tinted windows. I advised by e-mail. No offer to rectify anomaly. On returning car, it was a case of 'the emperor with no clothes on'. A staff member who told me he was from Rumania pointed to the passenger side of car below the windows & said it was full of scratches. I can assure you that car was certainly not scratched. It was quite dusty & I told him to clean it cos I thought he was being facetious. After cleaning it, the pristine condition of car was obvious. He stood there staring. Eventually he said he had to check his computer. I asked him to call the police. Whilst he was away I made a video of whole car. He returned with a clipboard & said the car was ok & I should just sign. I saw he had marked the damage box with an X. Long story short, I told him I could not sign the false declaration. I also told him That had I damaged the car or had it been damaged in my contracted period, I had no problem whatsoever in taking responsibility. He said he would speak to his firm .... another man appeared after about 10 mins &!told me the shuttle was ready to take me to airport. My conclusion: this is an absolute disgrace. I don't know who or what this man represents in this firm but if this happened to me, it must be happening with others of your clientele too. I would be only too happy to assist in exposing such a practice. I might add too for the record: You advertise that cancel & amendments are free up to 48 hrs before contract day. Not so with this firm..... "

" You can see my feedback in the above. I would very much appreciate a courtesy call from you to discuss my experience but I know these surveys are just processed by a machine so I do not expect to hear from you. I will be actively recommending that my friends and family do NOT use Auto Europe for car rental bookings. "
" My experience was appalling. The counter staff were extremely rude when I turned up at the counter. Thereafter they refused to accept what constitutes a hard copy of a bill for proof of address. When I left the counter to retrieve additional proof of address documents (my wife was bringing them from home) I returned 40 minutes later t the counter. The staff just said they had cancelled my order, without my authorisation, and it would cost £550 to rent a new smaller car. I received no notification of the cancellation and still have not. The staff were extremely rude and not willing to be reasonable. Needless to say we did not pay the additional fee and ended up having to get a train home on 23rd December at short notice at an additional cost of £185. This is on top of the £152 I had spend with your company in August for the car rental which they said I would not be entitled to as a refund. Needless to say I am absolutely shocked that a company can be so poor with their Customer Service but I have read the feedback online from other customers and it is all exclusively negative (a terrible google review score of 2.4). Unfortunately this reflects extremely badly on Auto Europe as I associate your company with Green Motion. Disgusting. "

" Auto Europe must better vet its rental companies. I am sure you have had other feedback. The voucher must clearly state the correct address. I rented the car based on where I could pick it up from, and didn't intend to be running around trying to find the actual place to collect the car. "
" I arrived at City Airport, as per the booking and voucher but found out that they are at Albert Dock, not City Airport. If you fly in there, they'll pick you up otherwise you have to lug your cases back onto the DLR, after calling them to find out where they are, and try to find them. There was no address given, even when I phoned: 'we're just a few hundred meters away'. The staff at City Airport reported a lot of problem with Green Motion claiming to be at the airport, and having had unhappy customers complain to the airport. I arrived to a queue and was given a buzzer, with no indication of how long the wait might be. The issuing of buzzers indicates that a long wait is normal. I waited outside, it was really cold and there was only a bench for the first 3-4 customers. When my buzzer went off I went inside the office (a portacabin) and witnessed a terrible row going on with two separate clients who were clearly dissatisfied. The agent was red in the face from shouting, and was gesturing aggressively towards the female clients. I was upset to witness this. The agent asked the client why she bothered booking with them too. I was asked to fill out a form, which I did and presented my documents. The agent asked for proof of address, which isn't on the voucher list but I offered electronic versions. As most of my bills are now email. He refused that and said bluntly that I couldn't have my car. I offered the DVLA number too, which vouches for my address against my driving licence. This as rejected. No solution was offered but I heard from other clients that he could have helped. I was too distraught, cold and a little bit frightened to be honest. I left, and got a train to my destination, but the holiday was ruined by this whole scenario. "

I was informed that without a passport I had to then pay an additional £92 in excess waiver fees to be able to take a car. 3.

" Experience with Green motion was good. With your Auto Europe representative - very poor almost disgraceful in terms of customer service. As you know I rent cars regularly using Auto Europe without any problems in the past. However on this occasion, I had been scanning my license for record purposes and foolishly left it in the scanner so not with me. My wife had her license so no problem, she could drive. However Green motion asked me to phone Auto Europe to change the driver on the contract or they would need to charge me 120 GBP for my wife as a second driver. I spoke to a male representative who advised that he could not change the contract unless it was 48 hours before the collection time so all he could do was cancel the contract (and loose 236) and give me another one which would have been for a smaller car and at 600. I told him that I did rent regularly through Auto Europe and could he not do something. his comment - No it is not my fault that you were foolish enough to leave your license and I cannot help you - goodbye and have a nice day. I know that It was my fault not his, however having been in sales for 40+ years before my retirement, neither I or any of my staff would tell a customer he was foolish. If you can trace the call on 20 December around 10-30 to 11, maybe some customer service training is called for. "

" Although having paid extra insurance to auto europe and having my own comprehensive car hire insurance, the extremely arrogant green motion staff member insisted that I pay further insurance to them, claiming that the car would not be insured otherwise, and refusing to let us take the car unless we paid this extra and unnecessary insurance!!

" As I said above, my booked car was given away and the staff refused to give me a similar car, of which there were hundreds standing around the yard as it was in the middle of the winter, and they said their policy was only to upgrade, not downgrade. So I was forced to pay more than three times the amount I had originally paid when I booked the car months in advance. I phoned and explained to the Auto Europe person what had happened and she was extremely patronising and didn't care at all. The behaviour of your company and Green Motion is shocking and I am telling everybody I know. As a part time expat, I know many people who rent cars regularly throughout the year and we are all spreading the word about your treatment of customers, and also writing really bad reviews on social media. "
" I will never ever use them again. I was late, which is something that happens a lot when you fly, and they had given my car away and forced me to upgrade to a car more that three times what I had originally paid for my booked car. It is a scam they are famous for, just read the tripadvisor reviews. I am disgusted at their behaviour, and at you for recommending them. "

" Same issue, you need to have better clarity on the insurance situation. I would recommend your site only to people who are already aware of potential insurance policy differences and have factored this into your prices. "
" When I arrived, I was told that I would have to buy additional insurance or have a unlimited liability. There is no mention of this on the voucher I received from auto Europe which indicated a liability limited at about gbp 1200. This made the cost significantly greater and makes a mockery of auto Europe as a price compare website. I pointed out this was not in the voucher, they stated this is there only available contract.

I got to the parking lot and the guy assumed I was there with an older gentleman (I'm a female in my mid-twenties travelling alone) and was then surprised when I was still there and still wanted a car.. it was quite odd.

" Car received was not what I ordered (I was given an SUV but booked and wanted a small car). Car had unmarked bodywork damage on pickup... this is very suspicious as presumable I would have been charged for that damage if I hadn't spotted it prior to departing. Vehicle broke down on second day and recovery service required. AA advised that it needed replacing. I had to drive back to the airport to return it and get a replacement. I believe it should have been Green Motions responsibility to deliver a serviceable vehicle to me rather than the customer having to waste time driving back to the airport for a replacement (from both a customer service and safety perspective).

" I spent about £90 on the initial car hire. The tire blew whilst hiring the car - no repair kit in car, so I had to spend about £90 getting a new tire and for a day and a half I couldnt use the car. Not the Green Motion's fault - I grant that, just my bad luck. However when returning the vehicle there was a 'scratch' on the one wheel that wasn't scratched - and i was charged £160 for the damage. Incidentally something that happened the last time I hired a car from Green Motion I understand genuine damage should be paid for, but I this is the only company that is so expensive and meticulous about the tiniest of scratches...scratches whish must be considered genuine wear and tear on a car, and which are so small as to be unoticable. I believe this is a scam, made all the more iritating since the Green Motion got a new wheel out of me as well as having a fuller tank returned to them than I recieved. I belive this company to be corrupt and will never use them again. "

" Green motion are crooks - there staff will not even give you their name. Why promote them? I wish I had read the reviews on trip adviser prior to the hire. My experience seems normal. "
" These people are crooks. Their price is very competitive but if you don't upgrade to their insurance (far more than the cost of the hire) then they bill you for non existant damage. I have hired dozens cars all over the world and the biggest rip off merchants are in my own city. You should end your partnership with this firm to avoid reputational damage. "

" It took a full hour trying to get a suitable child seat. 4 different seats later and had to accept the dirty seat with twisted straps as it was their last one. The first seat I was given the buckles wouldn't fasten and smelled of vomit. The second one for a bigger child despite me telling the staff what size I needed, the woman just kept telling me 'she dosent know anything about car seats'. Not the kind of answer I was looking for. Surely they rent car seats out every day the staff should know the basics. The third seat I couldn't get it securely fastened to the car it seemed to be missing a buckle. Also the fuel policy, the car was empty, petrol light flashing and beeping. Lucky to have made it to the petrol station. Also despite me paying for excess insurance with auto Europe, I was informed at the green motion desk it wouldn't cover the excess of anything happened. Is this true? "

" Green Motion Liverpool is a sham and rip-off. Having patronised Green Motion twice within the month, Stanstead and Amsterdam, I have to single out Green Motion Liverpool as out of sync. The low price attraction offered was countered by the extra levy of added insurance cost for failing to produce a passport. On arrival, the operative tried selling an insurance offer that I declined. Once he found out that I had no passport, it be became compulsory that I bought the insurance premium, according to him. All my explanation that I had travelled into the Liverpool as part of an internal travel plan did not appeal to him. I made him realise that I had only recently patronised both Green Motion outlets as earlier identified the operative insisted on the extra payment to atone for the non-provision of a passport. Cornered, I paid and had the car. This was gotten on the highest premium. Once in the car, I found out that the amount of fuel in the car was less than what was marked. I went back to complain. 'Noted', he said, asked me to go that he would make the amendment later. I stayed and insisted that he made the amendment while I was still there. He did, but never gave me a copy of the amended sheet. The tyre indicator on the dash was lit. I did not bother going back to complain since I was already fully covered for any eventuality anyway. Or, so I thought. On my return the next day, the fellow who did the inspection of the car 'spotted' a low tyre pressure. "You have a flat", he told me, and asked that I go back to the same operative that I dealt with the previous day. Pronto, my bill will be 400 pounds he informed, else, take the car to the nearest garrage and buy a new tyre. When I raised the issue of a tyre alert noticed on collection, I should have reported back and taken another car he told me. He probably felt touched by something, offered to go with with me to the garage to get it sorted. That last kind gesture reduced my last bill to ten pounds. When I asked the essence of high insurance premium that he made me undertake, it means they cannot make me pay anything over four hundred pounds, he explained. I had a flight to catch back to my base and was happy to walk. Who knows what maybe lurking ahead. After all, they still have four hundred pounds from my credit card locked in their account. I hate to speculate that the other fellow who inspected that car seemed to be aware about the presence of a nail stuck to the tyre, given the speed with which he went straight to the point (it was within the easiest view). Chances are that someone else may have been similarly trapped. Choosing to publish my review might attract such a person or persons. A lot of people just walk away and don't return. This might encourage them to speak out. "

" The notes you gave me clearly stated I would be picked up by a shuttle from City Airport if I called on arrival. There was no condition of me having to arrive on a flight. I called on arrival and then found myself having to travel on two trains to get to the vehicle when Green Motion declined to fetch me. I wouldn't recommend or use Auto Europe again as you don't make it clear who is hiring the car to me before the booking is confirmed and I would now want to avoid Green Motion at all costs. Thanks for the cheap hire but the service from Green Motion was absolutely horrific. "
" When returning the vehicle with a minute scratch they employed pressure selling techniques in order to try to force me to pay exorbitant costs. They said I needed to avoid a worse situation where they would be unable to record the vehicle as being returned if I objected and this would involve me paying for weeks and weeks of lost rental income. After 30 minutes of polite refusal they relented and removed the alleged severe damage costing £480 to repair with a touch of T-cut. "

" when I picked up the car i was advised that i needed a credit card for the deposit but I do not have a credit card. In the end I was allowed to secure the deposit on a debit card as long as I took out insurance which cost me £153.78. This is straightforward gouging as I of course had no alternative but to pay even though I already have my own separate insurance cover. These sort of practices are really unacceptable and just designed to extract money. The defense that that the counter staff gave was that the credit card requirement is in the booking form but really no one will look at the booking form once it has been booked which was incidentally paid with a debit card. Even if I had read it then there would be no time to organise a new credit card just for this purpose. Really very poor business practice! "

" Please see the above comments as they apply to auto Europe and green motion "
" I booked a car after consulting with Auto Europe and Greenmotion as I needed to hire a car but as I was travelling from France to the Uk and had whilst been away renewed my photo licence, I did not have it in my possession when arriving in the UK. It was at my UK home address. I had my passport and DVLA check code and driver details. Both Auto Europe head office and Greenmotion head office told me this was ok. I would have taken the basic rental but was told by Autoeurope that if I paid the extra insurance it would be ok to hire the car. Unfortunately I did not get names but I am a person who puts trust in people. I paid £144.47. On arrival at Greenmotion I was told I could not hire the car. I was told a new agreement had to be made in my husbands name and I could be a second driver. We were told the new agreement was £341. We were also toldby Greenmotion the voucher would be refunded. On checking our credit card statements we have been charged £144.47 and £341. Greenmotionhave now sent us invoices for the car hire which we have never been shown until yesterday, by the way which are not signed by my husband...we were not given them at the point of pick up on the 5th October. Had we seen that the outrageous final cost, almost £500, we would not have hired the car and would have paid for a taxi to take us home. The only paperwork we were given by Greenmotion was the check list for the condition of the car. I feel we have been taken advantage of and would not only NOT give a recommendation, I would actively warn people not to use or trust these two companies. We are waiting for further responses before we contact the credit card company because my husband did not sign any agreement to charge us for the itemised invoices. The voucher was in my name, not his and I did not agree for it's transferral "

" I booked on-line and paid extra for extra insurance to find out that this arrangement is not with green motion but with auto-europe. Although this arrangement may suit you as a company it doesn't suit me as the customer. If anything had happened I would have the stress and financial responsibility even though I have paid extra. It feel dishonest and defiantly is mis-leading. There was pressure on me to up-grade although I clearly didn't need this. Also there was pressure on return to fill in this feedback in front of staff - this is inappropriate. You talk about carbon off setting but no information on the detail of this was forthcoming when I inquired. My concern is that you invest in conifer tree plantations that are detrimental to the environment or worse still rely on FSC standard which means nothing in terms of the benefit to the natural environment.

" As I have said, we had no problem with Green motion, they were excellent. Our problem was with Auto Europe. We had no communication from them to say we were late for our booking, which we know was our fault. We accept that we should pay for the car, but not the insurance. My wife has emailed Auto Europe explaining what happened, she has had NO reply. The lack of communication is shocking, first for not telling us that we had missed our booking, then not answering our emails later. We will use Green motion again, but will not be using Auto Europe, for sure. "
" With Green motion we had no problem, the staff were helpful and courteous. We had put the wrong date on our car hire, which meant we were a day late, ( due to our setting off the day before arriving) This was our fault, but the gentleman who we dealt with was extremely helpful and sympathetic and did his very best to solve the problem, which thankfully he did.

" I have rented with Greenmotion for over a year as I feel their price is the most competitive in the market. However, exactly due to the fact that i am a customer with them for over a year and have over 15 bookings with them, i was unable to pick up my car due to a credit / debit card technicality - which i then found out was not fully implemented at the time of my pick up. the staff was not very responsive to my needs and failed to provide a solution, even given the fact that i am a long-standing customer. this resulted in me having to get a taxi to my home and another one back to greenmotion on the following day. the following day, when i went to collect my vehicle, the manager greeted me and apologised for the incident, offering a upgrade.

" We never got to rent the vehicle as Green Motion Liverpool Airport, went home early!!!!! Closing time on the documents we received and Green Motion agreed was correct is 8pm and they went home at 7pm!!! We phoned Green Motion from 7.20 when we arrived. Auto Europe phoned, Hertz desk phoned!!! We waited and phoned till 8.20pm. We had to book into the Premier Inn at last minute premium charges as we could not get to the Holiday Inn in Bolton which we had already booked and and paid for, then rent from Hertz on Saturday morning at huge extra expense for both!!! On Saturday am we phoned early to be told the vehicle was no longer available! Absolutely uncaring lady on the phone. Didn't show any empathy and I trust you can pull the recording of the call to hear the call. She did say something about they went to a party!!! And because we were unable to start until late Saturday morning we will have to go back again to complete the first appointment which we had to cancel. We were subsequently late for the second appointment but got to it. We will have to book Train ticket + car hire + Hotel again to complete the first appointment!!!!

" Very unprofessional and disappointing. I felt cheated. I would not have booked a bright yellow Kia Stonic if I was looking for a Volkswagen Golf. I feel like I was lied to and the company is still holding my depoist for no reason. "
" It took an hour to pick the car up. There was a queue of angry and disappointed customers. They were clearly understaffed and the collection process was obviously inefficient. The staff were rude when people were complaining about the queue taking so long. The lady had to enter all of the information I had inserted when making my booking online into her computer which took quite a while when I finally got to the front of the queue. This should clearly not be required. I had booked a Volkswagen Golf or similar. I was informed there were none of those availble and was given a bright yellow Kia Stonic, which is not comparable to a Volkswagen Golf and a bright yellow car for hire is ridiculous and quite frankly embarassing. The front was also covered in dead flies and when I pointed this out as part of the walk round the guy didn't care. I was made to pay a deposit of over £1000 which for a Kia is nonsense. My depoist has still not been returned to me which is completely unacceptable given how quickly money can be transferred in 2018. "

I'll be an evangelist for anything I believe in, and at the moment, I believe that both AutoEurope and GreenMotion will never get mine, my family or my network's business again. "
" I will never take out a car rental with GreenMotion again. I should have known that something that looked too good to be true would probably end up so. During the initial car rental, I went around the car with the manager and he noted down the majority of the scuffs on the car. He laughed about all the scuffs on the wheel caps and appeared to draw a mark on them all. When I brought the car back, the counter staff mentioned that there was a scratch on the cap that was not on the paper. I mentioned that the scratch was there before and that it had been agreed with the manager before hand. He went on to call the manager who was not at work that day, and the manager denied any such occurrence. I was forced to pay £100 extra. So £26.71 became £126.71 which I would have expected to pay at an Avis or Europcar. It's a no from me, all my friends, my whole social media. "

In future I will likely book directly through the rental company, to avoid these sorts of issues. "

I will outline my experience and you tell me where I went wrong. 1) Booked my rental online through AutoEurope and the voucher (see https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZB5bD7ZUk1Gc8jQJA5EOUNYH5Bhm7QMLaoV) clearly says that I have a CDW deductible of £1205 and a theft deductible of £1205. 2) Showed up at the rental office (which is basically a portakabin) on the reservation date half-hour before the reservation time at 11.30am. After a 1.5-hour wait, a staff attends to us. She takes the voucher printout off our hands and outright lies that we don't have any CDW (at this time I hadn't noticed this part in the voucher). She then proceeds to keep the voucher with her and issues us a car upgrade that we explicitly denied and also SELLS US CDW insurance (see https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZOzeD7Z4AxTmJcgwwBnRHvWU0gQvu2jHPrk). Then she asks my wife (who is renting the car) to sign a form electronically. The part with the car information was not visible at this time so we didn't notice the upgrade. 3) Ten minutes later, I notice the part about the CDW in the voucher and go back and ask the staff to cancel the CDW insurance since it was already covered in my initial booking. She brings in the manager Rob who was discourteous from the beginning and says that it is impossible to cancel the charges (which I find hard to believe given my vast it had experience with renting cars). It was drenching rain outside and it had already been 2 hours past the scheduled reservation time. I had two parents who are senior citizens waiting outside so I didn't want to delay matters further and therefore took the car. I don't mind the part about the undirected car upgrade (which was still unprofessional) but selling us insurance that we didn't need and denying to reverse charges 5 mins after invoicing is appallingly unethical behavior.

" To be honest, I felt that I had been "set up" into a situation that most people seemed to be resigning themselves to, and paying these terrible additional fees. I will certainly not be considering Green Motion again, and unfortunately, this has reflected badly on Auto Europe. Very disappointed. It may well be that these two companies should not be tarred by the same brush, but when I asked about these "hidden" fees, the Green Motion guy basically said "well, these brokers should not put this information in the small print - it is not our fault". Since I cannot separate the two, I have to give a bad review. Sorry. "
" I did not complete the pick-up. After waiting in a queue for almost an hour, I was then told that my pre-paid car hire would also have a further charge of over 1200 pounds. The charge itself seemed entirely ridiculous given that I had purchased the insurance, and frankly, seemed like a con. Either 21 or 45 days to return a (to me, unnecessary) deposit is such an imposition. At this point is merely walked out - I am not willing to subject myself to this kind of financial "arrangement", that was not well explained, merely excused as "the small print", and certainly not to be encouraged. I missed an additional day off work because of this, and am very disappointed to see this kind of practise. "

" We paid online with an amex credit card with no issue, we received our booking voucher and information and thoroughly read the T&Cs. No where did it mention you cannot pick up the car with an AMEX, we turn up at green motion with only an AMEX (having already paid on an AMEX), and find out we cannot hire a car with an AMEX. Due to the sizeable deposit (£1000) that is required to hire a car they were unable to put this through on a debit card unless we paid an additional amount to reduce the deposit to £400. This amount could then be charged to a debit card. This created a significant delay and an extra expense (£69.90) that was in fact more than the cost to rent the car for the week! As this information was not included in the T&Cs to have prepared us with an alternative credit card, we will be contacting you directly to discuss compensation for the additional expense. "
" They picked us up from the airport with only a 5-10 minute wait for the car, however we waited in the queue at green motion for over an hour before we were seen. We got to the front of the queue before we found out we needed a DVLA ID check code, we could have done this in the hour we were waiting! Once we were served it was pretty quick, no up-selling compared to other customers. The car was okay, a little dirty but that was fine. Drop off was seamless and incredibly quick, we were back to gatwick from drop off in under 15 minutes. "

However, Auto Europe told me that I needed to call after the contract finished to make this request.

" I was due to collect my rental car at 8pm on the 16th of August. My flight, through no fault of my own, was delayed to an arrival time of 10.15pm. I called ahead to see if green motion was open. There was no answer on the office number, I assume was the Birmingham office, so decided to call the other number, which took me to a call centre. They attempted to transfer me to the office in Birmingham airport but after 26 minutes on hold with no answer I had to get on the flight so was forced to hang up. I arrived at Birmingham airport at 10.15pm. Following the directions on the confirmation I arrived at the first stop on the shuttle bus and couldn't see any signs to find where Green Motion was located. After speaking to the other car rental companies I found that green motion had closed even thought all the other car rental groups still remained open till 12pm or even 1am due to delays. I was stranded at this point in a place that I am unfamiliar with. In seeking some help I had to rent another vehicle from Hertz. They where only to happy to help and provided me with a car for a good price given the circumstance. I was at this point able to continue with my trip. This review email is the first contact I have had since being left on hold on the 16th of August. Auto Europe had my flight details and contact number both of which I provided because they give you as a company more accurate means of contacting and determining my travel details. It's obvious that as I haven't received a call or email this information is not used. In short I was charged for a car that I never got the opportunity to collect and use as planned with no help from Auto Europe. It's very unlikely that I will use the company again for this reason. "

" Not accepting American Express at a travel company is, simply, ridiculous. Because Green Motion can only take the deposit on a credit card, they really should accept all major credit cards. They don't. The information was not made obvious enough at the time of booking. It should be in GIANT CAPITAL LETTERS at the top of any communication related to Green Motion. The car cost me double what I'd expected to pay, and rendered the whole point of renting it completely useless. I was so disappointed. It felt like a scam. The staff member I spoke to when I returned the car was rude and combative when I tried to tell him I thought the fact that they don't accept American Express is a problem. (Another couple were having the same issue I had.) The car also had 2 points of damage when we picked it up, which the staff had not got on their records. Thank god we had taken our own photos, or else we would have been charged for that, too. If you have an opportunity to give them this feedback, please tell them they need to become more professional. They should accept Amex (which most small businesses in London now do, in spite of additional charges), or at the very least update all their communications so there is no way to miss the information that they do not accept it. They should also be apologetic and polite to people who get caught in this trap. Green Motion's low prices are only available to people who use a VISA or Mastercard credit card. "

" Firstly. Our flight was over 3 hrs late in departing Belfast International. Because we arrived at Greenmotions office late (approx 23.30pm) , we were charged an extra £36.00. Bearing in mind it was pitch black, we were unable to inspect the car properly. The following morning I was able to inspect the vehicle. I had to send pictures of any damage to the vehicle. There were a lot of scraps, dents. The car was also very dirty, inside and out. The inside of the windscreen also had a film of dirt and grease over it making it very difficult to see out of. When I returned the vehicle the following day, the Greenmotion representative hardly batted an eyelid. A very disappointing experience and a car hire company that I certainly won't use again and will be advising friends/family not to touch with a barge pole. "

Inconsistent Car Vehicle Condition Report process, where by damage on the car was not recorded prior to rental agreement. Up on pick up a 1mm stone chip on the windscreen at the very bottom, has resulted in a £500GBP bill! "

" We were not told by AO's confirmation email that we will need to bring a passport or bank statement within the last 3 months in order to pick up a car. In your email there was a link to the voucher, and by clicking that voucher, it takes me to another link to Green Motion's terms and conditions. Within the terms, it says that it has to be a hard copy 'printed', that's it. So the staff refused to lend me the car, even if I have a dated bank statement, he refused if I can go and print a recent e-statement from my bank, because I no longer receive any postal bank statements. So I found the entire process was very misleading, also when I tried to call your number, there was nobody to answer. This was the most frustrating experience ever. "

" I tried to phone Auto-Europe on day of pick up, and couldn't get through. I emailed and got a reply telling me to ring after the booking had completed. I rang and spoke to someone, who told me to email customer services. I emailed and have not had a response. I have also emailed Green Motion and have not got a response. I am now picking this up with consumer websites, and will be taking advice on next steps. "
" This is the email I sent you on 31 July: I had serious issues yesterday with this hire and ultimately left without a vehicle and had to hire a car at short notice with another provider at the airport. This was both stressful, a waste of my time and has also left me out of pocket. This is what happened: - on arrival at Green Motion Gatwick, there were long queues, and while waiting I could hear other customers already being served arguing because the service staff were doing a really hard sell to upgrade to their insurance add on. They were using what I would describe as scare tactics to make the sale, by underlining repeatedly how punitive their charges are if there is any damage to the car. It was bizarre to hear them basically try to sell product by explaining how unfair and over priced their repair costs were. Two different sets of customers got quite upset by this. - I thought to myself that I was glad to have annual insurance which means I always say no. - When I was served, I produced my licence, passport, proof of address, DVLA code, and finally my Amex card that I'd booked with. I was immediately told they don't accept Amex and they'd need a different credit card. I explained that was what I booked with and that I don't have another credit card, only debit card. - He told me that wouldn't work and that I'd have to take out their insurance which would mean I could use my debit card. I remonstrated that this was ridiculous as I had booked using that card. He said that wasn't his problem as I'd booked through a third party. And he said it was made clear in the booking voucher. I checked and couldn't see anything and asked him to show me where. He struggled to find it too, and then pointed out that the very last small print T&C on the 4th page said it. I said this wasn't fair and that it had to be more clear if it was that fundamental. He shrugged and said there was nothing he could do. - He again tried to push the insurance option. I asked why that meant he could take my debit card and said it felt like a scam to sell the insurance. The insurance was going to add another £25 approx/day, for something I don't need. By this time a French couple to my left were having the exact same argument with their agent. - I asked him what my options were and he said to call yourselves and arrange a different rental with another company. We tried that but couldn't get through and he said there was nothing more he could do. I asked him if he could understand that from my perspective, having booked using my Amex card this was a very frustrating situation. He again suggested the insurance option was the way to go. I asked to speak to the manager. - she came over and immediately said there was nothing they could do and that he had already done everything he was obliged to do. She clearly did not care. - at this point I took their names, and they didn't like that. Then I took a photo of the laminated point of sale item they had breaking out the different insurance packages they were offering, and at this point they got very angry with me. The manager demanded I deleted the photo, she came round from behind the desk and was very aggressive, she seemed like she was going to try and take my phone and threatened to call the police. I told her she had no right to do any of those things and she said she was calling them right away. She called to the desk agent to make a note on the system, something to the effect that I was to be refused future rentals. - I took my bag and left the building, obviously without a car. And I was quite upset by her aggressive behaviour and also the threat to call the police. - while I was standing outside with my bags, wondering how to get back to the airport and then arrange alternative car hire (my family were all waiting for me to arrive!) the manage followed my outside, and was now even more aggressive. She told me that unless I deleted the photo immediately and showed her that I had done so, then she would call the police and also would flag on the system something that would mean no car hire companies in the UK (she emphasised all, not just Green Motion) would refuse to rent cars to me. She was speaking very forcefully and in front of all the other customers waiting there, as if I was some thug or criminal. I don't think she has any right at all to demand I delete something on my phone, including highly dubious insurance packages that they are happy enough to laminate and promote to all their customers, but have obviously been told not to let "get out". And she also was way out of line to dress me down in public like that and to threaten me. - I deleted the photo and showed her that I had done so. She insisted on looking at other pictures in the folder in case i had taken more than one. - however, before deleting the picture, I emailed it to myself, so I still have the evidence. Sorry, that's a bit of a long story there, but I want to get all the details down. In essence: - I want a refund - I assert that I did nothing wrong here - and if a customer books with a credit card the vendor will not accept, then the fact should be immediately be flagged. Burying such a fundamental barrier in the Ts&Cs isn't good enough. - but I also want you to raise this unacceptable behaviour with your vendor - this was clearly not isolated behaviour, I was not the only person being bullied (I use the word specifically and deliberately) by them into buying expensive insurance that they shouldn't need. Finally, I want to make clear - as I suspect they will spin the story differently from their side - I never raised my voice, shouted, swore or got abusive. I was assertive about my point of view of what was happening, and I told them I thought it was a scam. But I stayed calm throughout, unlike the manager who lost her cool entirely and was threatening to me both verbally and physically. I have tried 4 times to ring you, but after going through the IVR tree I can never get beyond the Mozart hold music. I am on holiday with my family, don't have access to a landline, and do not intend to spend my holiday on the phone chasing this. However, once I'm back at home I shall be pursuing this through all channels, including social media and newspaper consumer champions. I understand there is already a large group of unhappy Green Motion customers agitating for something to be done. "

" I think if you are advertising rentals as cheap because they hide their costs then that is not providing a good service. I will just use car hire companies I trust from now on. Europcar and Enterprise are transparent and upfront, they do not hide costs and what they say they charge is what you pay at the end. It would have been no more expensive for me to use those companies in this rental than go via Auto Europe to Green Motion and I will know in advance what I am expected to pay and receive. "
" Because they didn't accept my American Express I had to pay an additional £36 in order to lower the insurance enough to put it on my debit card. This was not communicated to me in advance and I think they should have been able to accept a method of payment which other rental car companies do accept to avoid forcing a hidden cost on my rental. They also didn't explain to me that my £400 deposit would take up to 15 days to be returned - I still haven't got it back yet 6 days later. This is causing me costs as I am now in my over draft. In my opinion they were intentionally not clear about this, leading to nearly doubling the cost of the rental, because they don't accept Amex. I will never use them again. They did not put the customer first and I felt exploited. "

After the paperwork was completed I then had to wait 50 minutes to be given the car - even though I had a reg number.

" I will never use Green motion again. This is the 2nd and last time. They try to say the car is damaged in some way, as soon as you bring the car back. I picked up the car, at 10pm, and it was pitch black, and could not see any faults, but it was dark. When I returned the car, it had a small cut on the tyre. I only drove the car from the compound to my home and back, so there is no way the cut was made during my rental. The staff where very rude, forcing me to sign to the effect that I had caused the damage and I would not be getting my £1,250 deposit!!!!!! sorry these guys might be cheap, but they are cowboys, and auto Europe should stop using them. I want my deposit back, or I will take this legal and deal with it through the courts. "

" This was without doubt the worst car hire experience of my life. I would like to raise a complaint about the company green motion. Who appear to be running a fraudulent operation. On returning the vehicle the the member of staff went straight to the front of the car to find a tiny scratch on the underside of the bumper that he clearly knew was there already. He then refused to have any discussion and I received a bill for over £500 for the cost of a new bumper. I have tried to get In Touch with the company but have had no response. On reading some other customers experiences and several newspaper articles about the company I see that this is common practice for the company. It reflects badly on auto Europe, a reputable company, to advocate this company. "

" - It wasn't clear at the pick-up desk where we had to go to collect our vehicle. We waited quite a long time at what we assumed was the collection desk (having followed the signs for 'vehicle collection'), only to be told we had to go elsewhere. - When I registered to take the car I was asked for proof of my address (as well as my driving licence). I had not been alerted to this beforehand. Fortunately I was able to download a bank statement, but if for any reason this hadn't worked it would have caused a big problem. I should have been told about this beforehand. - At the collection desk I was also asked for a DVLA code (to show I had no points on my licence). Again, I was given no advance warning about this. "

Green Motion have deducted £156.00 from my credit card without notifying me in any way. I have chased them three times by telephone, and have also sent a written complaint.

" Never really had issues before like the above. Having said that it was usually Hertz or Europcar that the hire was from. Also due to all the changes, licence and DVLA wise this also contributed to all the confusion. Mabe the terms and conditions need to be highlighted more re the changes. To have to provide, a photo licence, proof of address, passport, NI number and a further DVA number, to prove no points on the licence at time of pick up is just too far. Surely all these things could be done online on the booking form. Not sprung up on you ,when your flight has been delayed by three hours, all you want to do is pick up your car and go. Also does seem that the original "cheap price" hides an upselling opportunity, because of the credit card issue, we had to pay another 18.00 per day, so not a great bargain after all. All in all it does make me think twice about recommending Auto Europe and or using your services again. "

However, it's okay, but I hope they can provide the car that I booked, then I can have free choice to change the more fancy car or not. By the way, I had car fire experiences in the U.S, once, they helped change a more expensive than the one that I booked without charge any extra fee as the reason is there is no available car that I order which is not mine responsibly.

On return staff found tiny dent without paint cracking less than 10mm. However staff said dont worry, its ok, no worries so I signed the check form. I was then asked to enter the office and that if I did not pay £454.80 I would lose my deposit £1205 in full. I relluctantly paid. I had gone from green motion to a house where the car was safely parked. I did not use the car again until fueling and returning ìt. I knew this small mark was not noticed when we did the pre hire look round. I contacted customer services who did not want to know saying they followed procedures the pre check showed no tiny dent. I emailed and asked how as I had found two new damages in the dark with a torch so these must have been missed before as we added them to the form. I asked for them to explain how they can evidence that I or someone had caused the tiny dent on my hire given the above. Also they told me I could have rechecked the next day and telephoned. They do not say this when you pick up the car up or is it included with the paperwork. Horrendous unjust bunch of crooks! They have since taken the money and will not answer any of my questions. "

" Awful The worst I've ever had. I feel absolutely amazed that a company like this has a license. It is absolutely shit. "
" Absolutely shocking. If I had more energy i would be mounting a full scale social media war on such a company. I have never witnessed such a terrible company. It is shocking. I cannot believe you have allowed yourself to partner with such a company. It fills me with dismay. I am so angry. First I arrive at the airport where my instructions tell me to call them to arrange a pick-up. these are your instructions. I call and i call and I call. The line is constantly engaged. This goes on for 45 minutes until finally I get through and am told where to go for the shuttle bus. The bus arrives and I tell the driver I am very disappointed in the service so far. He looks unconcerned, he tells me he does not speak English. I get in the bus and am driven 10 minutes away from the airport to a back alley. There is rubbish and leaking pipes, there are lots of people. Those working for Green Motion mostly on phones or smoking, looking unconcerned at the length of the queue to check in. There is no where to sit. It is very hot. There are a lot of people in front of me. The conditions are dirty and horrible. Everyone is very quiet, resigned to this incompetence. I can feel my blood boiling. It is just not good enough. I have a boat to catch. The queue does not move in the 20 minutes I stand in it. Nowhere. I have not moved. No one is being helpful, no one who works for Green motion looks the slightest bit concerned. There is no customer service, there is no care, there is no trust on my part. This looks like a shady deal. It is really unpleasant. I decide to go to Thrifty and rent a car from a reputable company that has a proper check in desk and a person that actually cares about me, the client. I am very glad i did not give Green Motion my credit card. i am about to write comments on social media to warn all the tourists arriving who might be tempted to use this company. I felt embarrassed for them. I felt so very very angry. it was an absolute disgrace and I think very little of you too for allowing such a shady operation to run under your umbrella. "

" As in section 3, it was a mess and I would not use them again. "
" Pick up was a complete mess, the instructions were to call Green Motion on arrival and they will send the bus. We call 13 times before they answered the phone, they then said just go to the pick up zone and look out for the bus, its always around. They could have just put that on the pick up instructions. We had to wait over an hour to get on the bus as there were so many people waiting for the same small bus. When we arrived at the office we had to wait in line for 2 hours as the service was so slow, there were over 40 people waiting inline and we were all outside as there was no room in the office. At one point people started to go crazy as it began to rain. We had young children with us and it took over 3 hours from arrival at the pick up point to actually getting our car. The car was another mess, we ordered an automatic Passat or similar. We ended up with a VW caddy which is very far from a Passat and closer to a van. It is based on a VW Golf chassis which is a smaller car class, so it was in no way similar. A mondeo or a A4 would have been similar, not a Caddy. However we were told this was the only automatic they had left and more or less take it or leave it. I WILL NEVER USE THESE GUYS AGAIN. It was well priced for what we were supposed to get, but what we got was very far away from what was expected, I feel we were taken advantage of as a customer. "

" Auto Europe should not use Green Motion and should clarify the information on the documents regarding level of insurance. Also clarify location of drop off. "
" I used Auto Europe because it was recommended by my son-in-law. I purchased the higher cost hire rate with full insurance for two weeks. The man at the Green Motion counter, Mr Hassan, said that I should pay an extra £290 for insurance because he said it was not clear that I was covered. I phoned my son in law for advice and he said it was not necessary. I am a 77 year old pensioner. I found the pressure put on me to buy extra insurance stressful. It would have doubled the hire cost. The Green Motion depot at Glasgow Airport is at least half a mile from the main care car hire area with all the other companies, Hertz etc. There was no location map or directions in Green Motion documents. I had to ask directions. Very inconvenient with a deadline. "

I could not find the Green Motion damage charging matrix on their website but I when I looked I did find news articles about customers being charged for damage which they disputed. I consequently didn't use the car much. I would like to be able to rent an ordinary car and not have to worry too parking in car park without being charged a hefty fee.

" I recommend Auto Europe take Green Motion off their list of suppliers. Judging by other comments on the web and I wished I had checked before hand - never go near this company again. I rented from autoeurope many times and have had no issue before. This is extremely disappointing. Normally would have been a top rating for you. "
" No 24 hour return service. We returned the rental car in the same condition as we it checked out. Dropped key in the dropbox as instructed by the manager of the branch manager. We got charged nearly £1,200 for alleged new scratches??! No evidence whatsoever were provided just an email saying we are being charged for 3 new scratches. There were existing scratches on the car marked in the checked out form. We took a video of the car on return and have sent it to Green Motion and in addition have requested for photo and cost evidence. It's nearly 4 weeks and no response although their customer service email said within 1 week response. As Trump would say - BAD BAD BAD!!! "

" Misleading internet ad and rental. Hit with loads of extras up on pick up of the car. Also they didnt have the actual car i rented ! "
" Firstly i rented at VW passat or similar which i received confirmation of. However when i arrived i was told i was being given an SUV (kia sportage) but wasn't told why. So i questioned the lady at the counter who i could barely hear speaking, she was that quiet i had to ask her 3 times to repeat herself and to speak up. She just said im being upgraded to a kia sportage which i didn't want due to the fact it is a big car with a small 1.6l petrol engine and i was going to be doing motorway miles hence the reason i rented a 2.0l diesel passat or similar due to their good comfort and motorway cruising ability. I was then given the the paperwork and told to go around to the car pick uo area. When i got to thw car pick ip area it was there i was told thwy didn't actually have any passats or similar vehicles which i Thought strange and was then told i was getting the kia sportage. I refused the sportage and pressed on te matter of wanting at least a 2.0 diesel. After i done thia they found me a 3 series BMW which i would consider in the same class as a passat or skoda octavia. So they did have what i wanted they just wanted to palm me off with a lesser vehicle. I have no complaints on thw vehicle as it was brand new an perfectly fine. However my other complaint is how misleading the website it, you think you're hiring a car for £11 a day and with free transfer to and from thw airport with the hopper bus but when you arrive this is rubbish. Ypu have to pay for thw transfer bus then mess abkut getting receipts and emailing them to green motion ! I didn't know thia until told by the bus driver ! And with the car being £11 a day that all changed whn i arrived because i wpuld have been required to give a £1400 pound deposit which they would keep even if a small scratch was found upon return !! It was this or pay and extra £25 pounds a day on top of the rental price for better insurance. I took the extra £25 pound option for the peace of mind. So with all of this taken into account it's highly unlikely i will use this comoany again. I will stick to thw main players that dont have all this hidden shite to hit you with when you arrive. "

So I came back and cueing again for another h at 18:00, the other guy that assisted me, looked very professional at the beginning and then he tried to blame me saying that I wasn't there on time so my golf was gone and I could get another car paying a deposit double the one I was supposed to get at the beginning, at that point I was about to explode and the guy I think he understood the situation and allowed me to get a Peugeot 3008 at the same deposit as a golf, I really enjoyed driving it, More communication between HEADOFFICE and the guys at the desk.

" A lot of hassle. Not worth the savings compared to other rental agencies. "
" The young lady who served me when collecting the vehicle was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. This was very positive. However, the 2000 pound 'block' put on my debit card to cover the excess was very inconvenient and not required by other rental agencies. Also inconvenient and not required by other agents was the vehicle licence check to show I have no driving offences. Even after she asked me if a VW Passat was of a sufficient size for my needs (it was), when I went to collect the car it was a peugeot 308, significantly smaller. This was rectified on the spot with the offer of another vehicle, but not what I needed after an overnight trans-Atlantic flight with 2 children. I was also not refunded my hopper bus fare. On collection I was told this would be refunded on drop-off, but on drop off they said that was incorrect. Finally, and this is a complaint I have with all rental agencies, is the disproportionate cost of child safety seat hire. I can buy a car seat for the cost of 4 days' hire, and they are a legal safety requirement to have. Hiring 2 car seats should not cost almost as much as hiring the car! "

" I do not blame you but this car company are crooks "
" This is what I wrote to Green Motion : As you are aware provided this car is totally different ( a diesel estate turbo compared to a compact economy) from the one I contracted to. I was told that the car was at the end of the lease agreement with the company you contract Your fleet from and would be returned at the end of my hire. I was told that the road chips scratches to the front fender and radiator were ignored because the car had been driven for over 11000 miles and they were known and would not be counted The extensive damage to the front fender on the passages side were noted on the damage sheet which I recorded. So although I inspected the car in the light of the assurances you provided me with I did not note the disputed damage on the passenger side which even when it was pointed out to me I still found it almost impossible to see. The gentleman who pointed it out appeared to know it was already there. I do not believe I can be held responsible for such undetectable damage on a car that exhibited so much wear and tear and I believe judging by the behaviour of your staff it was a means of extorting money that is not due. You have not attached a vehicle condition report and I suggest you are unable to as the damage you claim is unnoticeable. I drove straight from Stansted airport to my home in London and back again in two days and the car was in protected place when not in use with little chance of damage being caused. I had to fly back from Holliday for two days for an urgent hospital appointment and I find your behaviour very distressing. I have had one insurance claim in twenty years I i certainly will not loose my no claims bonus for what I consider "sharp practice"i therefor request that you return my deposit in full or send me the report, where I will proceed with legal proceedings to recover my money in addition to the costs of the recovery. You kept saying the insurance would pay but this blown up claim is a form of insurance fraud that increases the premiums for honest motorists. I strongly suggest you review your practice in the light of my statement. "

" I had to rebook the vehicle for another week. Adviser over the phone said he booked it exactly as I did previously. But I was told by green motion it was booked for a lower category "
" I was told I have booked through a 3rd party so will not be covered by excess protection. I did not understand why I had to show both a driving license and passport. The car I received has a huge dent at the back, rattling engine "

" Firstly my sincere thanks to Hugo atAuto Europe for sorting out the nighttmare that Green Motion created. When I arrived at the Green Motion office in Luton, I was told they could not supply me with a rental car and I really did not understand why as very little reason was given by the member of staff. Luckily I was able to phone Auto Europe and having spoken to Hugo who was able to change the booking to UK 4434231 and after all the inconvenience and lack of care caused by Green Motion, I was able to proceed to the Easyrent office at the Airparks in Slip End & get a car. I write this because I feel that this should go on record. As I travel abroad a lot I rent a car regularly at Luton airport and have never experienced anything like this. It was the first time I had used Green Motion and it would not wish to take the chance of using them again. Please accept this as constructive criticism and once again my thanks to Hugo at Auto Europe for sorting the problem out so promplly & efficiently , so full marks to them "
