Terrible customer experience with Green Motion. They rent the cars out cheap but put every conceivable obstacle in your way to make you "have to" get their inflated insurance. First I was told I hadn't had my full licence long enough, then they changed their mind?! Then they told me that in order to get the car I had to provide a letter from my boss on company letter head as I was using a corporate card. This is not explained anywhere at all that I can see, and not possible in the time frame. When I went to leave I complained to the boss, who then allowed me to use my card (so their rules are bogus), upgraded the car, gave us a free extra driver, and unlimited mileage, BUT we had to get £400 excess cover at a cost of £120 pounds for 5 days. We already had insurance but were stuck and had to take it. So £33 car hire costed £153. But PUSH THEM ON THEIR BOGUS PRICES
The rental company staff were very friendly. Despite the long delay caused by issues with the QEEQ platform, they were patient and continuously assisted us in resolving the matter.
The wait for collection was appalling spent over an hour with nowhere to sit and be comfortable, they did not accept your insurance for the car so we felt we were pressurised and intimidated to pay an extra excessive amount to carry on with the rental. They did upgrade the car but that was because we were not happy with the situation. Also there were other people in the same situation and they also were not happy with Green Motion.

Overall booking with Easyrentcars was pleasant until we actually got to the pick-up point, then it all went wrong (see comments opposite). When I communicated with your customer service they were certainly on the ball and keeping in touch with e-mails constantly, and we still have dialogue with you trying to resolve this dispute and look forward, hopefully for a good result.
“Cheating customers, Green Motion Edinburgh, horribe rental experience.”
About GREEN MOTION:2.0/10
Below is the summay of my recent car rental experience with Green Motion Edinburgh Airport. I was cheated by their staff from picking up till returing. I seek your investigation of their unethical behaviours.
1. I was forced to purchase zero excess when collecting my car. The reason is I cannot provide a credit card with pin. But after the zero excess purchase with them, then my credit without pin can be used for the 200 pounds deposit.
2. after purchase of zero excess, the staff at collection counter told me all the damages will be covered, no need to take photo of the car when collecting and returning the car. He even suggest me to cancel my 3rd party insurance with AXA.
3. When retuning the car, the manager told me the zero excess purchased with green motion is no longer valid and deducted over 1000 pounds from my credit card instantly despite that i refused to pay. His reasons are that i failed to report the scratch/dent on the door within 2hrs, which I did not even notice before returning the car. 2nd reason is the zero excess only covers 1st accident, which i was never aware of. I feel being cheated by the edinburgh airport staff at both the collection and return counters.
4. I had a flat tyre during my journey in the middle of nowhere and the car cannot move. i called the green motion emergency breakdown number 10 times and never connect through. the emergency number does not work! even during weekday day time! i was so desperate and it wasted my whole day to fix the car.
In total, this is the worst car rental experience in my life.
About QEEQ:8.0/10
booking platform is excellent and customer service is great. I just hope that easyrentcars could let users see others' review about the car rental companies, which could prevent the customers from falling into unethical company's tricks, like Green Motion.
“The car was ready for use when I arrived, it was clean, tidy and had fuel, exactly as required”
About GREEN MOTION:9.7/10
The service was excellent, the vehicle was smaller than I anticipated but this was not a fault on the side of Green Motion, I would certainly use your Company again
“Only negative was waiting over two hours to collect vehicle.”
