I don't normally give feedback to companies, but this time, I cannot stay quiet. I received the most appalling service from Green Motion and want other people to be aware of this and stay away from this company if they don't want to be scammed of money. I booked a car from a third party site, checked in online to speed up the process. Bought the full insurance at the time of booking the car, it costed £50. The documents I was advised to bring with me were the drivers license and ID. I also knew I would need a credit card that is in my name, is valid and has enough funds, which is what I had. On the day of car collection, our plane was delayed by 1 hour. We get there at midnight, tired, we still had about 1 hour drive to the destination. I provided the requested documents at the check in, and the woman tells me my card is expired, it has to be valid for at least 6 months from the pick up date, so I won’t have a car unless I pay €250 for Green Motion full insurance, and €50 deposit. And to do that, I can then use my debit card. I was very surprised by this, because no such requirement was listed on the website where I booked the car from and all the terms and conditions only refer to the name and limit and where there is a mention on "valid", there is no specific term in months. The best thing was, Green Motion T&Cs state that you should refer to the third party T&Cs if you booked through a third party vendor. Anyway I paid that amount, because I needed the car and at midnight, there was no other place to go to to get a different car. That Green Motion representative then tells me how good it was that I provided my flight number, as she would have cancelled my booking altogether because I was late and charged me a late pick up fee, as if it was my fault that the plane was delayed. Finally, I booked a small car, specifically chose a small car, and got a huge one instead. When I asked for a small one, I was laughed at and told they don't do small cars. Probably hoping that I would damage it, so they could collect more money from me. This happened on the 28th June 2022, I formally complained to them on the 1st July. I only received 2 responses, where they did not try to come to any resolution, the last one was on the 18th June. They have stopped acknowledging my requests for the update of my complaint and I am pretty sure they are going to keep the money they scammed off me. Furthermore, they are not part of any association, so you won't be able to take your complaint any further. Everyone who can see this post, please be careful when booking cars online from third party vendors and please stay away from Green Motion as they are not an honest company and will try to scam you as best as they can. When I booked online, I didn't know which company I was booked with until I paid, so if you do get that, cancel immediately. Or best go through another rental company directly.
