I waited over an hour to be picked up

I waited over an hour to be picked up. I had not been told that the pick up bus would not be the normal bus, which has aGreen Motion on a sign in the front, but a bus which indicated it was as huttle for a hotel.
Ther car I was given did not have the correct fuel on the guage which was written on the contract. I took a photo. On returning the car, I told the representative about the discrepancy and was told that Green Motion do not care about small things like that. Therfore, I did not take it up wioth personell in the office. Afterwards, I had a charge of £20 on by credit card. When I sent a mail about this, I had no reply from Green Motion. So, you have had your answer from me about why I had zero satisfaction and will share my experiences on Google maps and trust pilot.

I had booked car rental with Green Motion and they screwed me

I had booked car rental with Green Motion through a booking agent. My flight to Manchester (pick up location) was delayed by 9 hours. This meant an expected arrival time of 01:30. Upon learning of the delay I immediately called the number on the booking email. The recorded instruction was to email them. I did that immediately. The rental was pre-paid and I had provided my flight number.

I went to the pick-up office as soon as they opened the next morning, with my two very tired young children, to collect my rental and was informed that it had been cancelled due to being a "no show". I was told I had to make a new booking, which I did.

Green Motion's says it is the booking agent's decision not to refund. The booking agent says it's Green Motion's decision. Basically they are both blaming one another leaving me in the middle having paid twice and both of you profiting from it.

Dreadful customer service.

No cars available

When I arrived at the rental office the first greeting I go was that there was not car available for me. When the desk clerk checked my 'pre paid reservation' he told me it had been cancelled as I was 'no show'. I have sent a number of emails to get my money back, which I did, bit the important thing was that I was stranded. Many emails have been passed back and forth on this. It was the 3rd time I have been told no cars available on my arrival. I had full loyalty status, but have switched companies.

We understand how disruptive it was to arrive with a prepaid booking and be told there was no car, especially when the reservation had been marked as a no-show. We acknowledge that you ultimately received a refund, but that did not resolve being stranded, and you say this has happened on three occasions. Please forward the latest booking reference and your previous correspondence to ics@cs.greenmotion.com so our customer services team can review the cancellation and availability records and address your wider concern.

Disappointing experience with Green Motion Manchester Airport – £567 damage charge

Do not rent from this car rental company!!

I rented a vehicle from Green Motion Manchester Airport and returned it to their branch.

Green Motion subsequently alleged damage to the front bumper and charged me £567. However, their inspection was not recorded until almost 45 hours after the vehicle was returned, despite the branch operating seven days a week.

I also have photographs taken at drop-off in which the conspicuous scuffing shown in Green Motion's later photograph is not identifiable.

My actual journey was approximately 150 miles, yet Green Motion's paperwork records 879 miles. I have requested an explanation for this significant discrepancy, but none was communicated!

I have formally disputed the charge and requested the inspection, vehicle movement and mileage records, but all my correspondences have been ignored to date.

My concern is that I have been charged for damage without satisfactory evidence establishing that it occurred while the vehicle was in my possession.

I would not advise anyone to rent from this rental company.

We understand that you dispute the £567 bumper charge and have asked for an explanation of the inspection timing, vehicle movement and mileage figures. Those records need to be compared with your drop-off photographs before we can comment on the charge. As you say you have already written without a response, please forward your existing correspondence and case reference privately to ics@cs.greenmotion.com so central customer services can locate the dispute, review the records and reply.

Very disappointing experience with Green Motion Manchester Airport.

We were charged £686 for alleged damage that we deny causing. The car was supplied completely dirty car inside and out, that had no petrol ,washer bottle empt in a poorly dark lit underground car park, making it impossible to see existing scratches . No damage was brought to our attention during the return inspection. The damage section was blank when the return document was signed, but a scratch was subsequently recorded after they had washed to car .

I personally delivered our dispute letter to the office and also emailed it. A man who identified himself as the manager’s brother apologised and promised immediate contact from the manager. We have received no response whatsoever, and attempts to reach someone by telephone have been unsuccessful.

Payment was subsequently taken despite our dispute. We have now disputed the charge with HSBC and escalated the complaint to UK head office.

We expect a formal response and a fair investigation

We understand that you dispute the £686 damage charge and the sequence of the return inspection, and that your letter and emails have not received the response you expected. We cannot determine the vehicle’s condition or the basis of the charge from this review. As you say the matter has been escalated to UK head office and your bank, please forward your existing case reference and correspondence privately to ics@cs.greenmotion.com so central customer services can locate the case, review the collection and return records, and respond.
