Service with a smile

1. During my rental period, I experienced a flat tire in the middle of nowhere at 8:30 PM (still within business hours). I called the rental office, company headquarters, and other contact numbers, but none were reachable. I couldn't get any assistance from the rental company. Fortunately, the car manufacturer's roadside assistance service helped me out. Not being able to contact the rental company during business hours is extremely disappointing. 2. When I purchased additional insurance, the service representative miscalculated the amount I needed to pay. After I pointed it out, they pretended not to notice and simply corrected the amount for me to re-pay. 3. The deposit payment method is extremely strict, requiring a £1500 deposit but only accepting credit cards with chips. My credit card from home doesn't have a chip, so I had to purchase additional insurance to lower the deposit amount. Throughout this process, the rental company's staff were not friendly.

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 When retuning the car, the manager told me the zero excess purchased with green motion is no longer valid and deducted over 1000 pounds from my credit card instantly despite that i refused to pay.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.

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.

Had to wait over an hour, complete waste of time. I would never recommend greenmotion. The cost more than doubled when accident insurance was applied. Cost was over £100 for 3 days. Although I hired for 3 days, I was only allowed 2 days mileage not 3 , so then had to pay another £10 for excess mileage . Overall I was an expensive disaster !!

Waited almost 3 hours for car collection. Very difficult customer service staff, and very strange document outlining vehicle damage and possible damage to underside of car bumper: all of which would be chargeable up to £1250

Like: Efficient pickup and drop off at airport. Avoided congestion at major car rental area of airport. Outstanding car made driving in the beautiful countryside enjoyable. Built in gps that was made available to us at pickup was invaluable.
Dislike: Prior written detailed information about large insurance deductible deposit at the time of pickup. Lucky we had a card with a high limit. Better signage for location and vehicle return.
