Awful queue but get a battered vehicle and you’ll avoid the stringent checks!

The pick up time was ridiculous, the queue had about 8 people before me and took nearly 90 minutes to get to the counter. There was also a very narrow barrier to drive through when the van was picked up, quite hard to navigate when I’d only just got the vehicle and wasn’t used to the size and feel of it! Seemed to be lucky that I was given a battered vehicle and told that it probably won’t be checked like the others usually are - I’d heard that Green Motion are incredibly particular about the bodywork and the video playing in the reception backed this up. Also, I couldn’t find a car hire excess policy that would cover Green Motion, which worries me. Luckily I was given a battered vehicle and told there were so many scratches on it, they wouldn’t check it at the end. I didn’t add any new ones but it was good to know that I didn’t have to worry about it.
