GREEN MOTION CAR RENTAL REVIEWS IN ICELAND

We had to change first car as we felt it was not reliable ,car was changed and that car was brought to us and that car was fine

Green Motion double-charged for insurance, costing over 2,000 yuan.

Waited quite a long time to pick up the car, the staff are friendly and hot drinks are available for free

easy to use, quite strict on refund of cancellations

Al momento de la recogida todo medianamente bien pero nos hacen pagar un seguro (porque sino, no nos dan el coche aún llevando contratado otro seguro con antelación) y este seguro no te cubre nada!. A la hora de la devolución El personal fue lo peor, hacían por no entendernos, con el idioma, se reían de nosotros incluso con burlas. Nos han estafado y además nos amenazaron con no llevarnos al aeropuerto y casi perdemos el vuelo.

Todo bien, cuando tuvimos problemas siempre contestando rápidamente e intentado ayudar en lo que podían

The car we got was a bit battered on the outside, but it didn't bother us since it consumed next to nothing (which is a big bonus with Iceland price for petrol) and even though it looked small on the outside (Toyota Yaris), we could easily fit in 3 people with all camping gear. Pick up was easy, so was the drop off. I took pictures of all the bruises our car had and was a bit worried they might blame me for some of them even if they were not my fault (bad Trustpilot reviews), but they did not complicate at all.

We saved some money with price alert, thank you for that!

I rented a GOLF in auto transmission with a higher price but end the staffs offer me with a Mazda 2 in manual transmission. I was surprise and asked them that I thought I rented a GOLF in auto when booking but I was told by the staffs it is similar car. I said when I book online that time Mazda 2 or Hyundai i30 is cheaper than a GOLF. But the staffs told me that this is only similar car that they have so end up I they give me a Mazda 2 auto transmission. I’m very big size so when I’m getting in or out from the Mazda 2 always will have some difficulties. The car conditions was terrible as the engine check light indicator was on when I got the car and they told me is fine as it has been like this for awhile and after i drove for a feed day the water and tires indicator light on. I’m quite disappointed and upsets that it was a totally different type of car that I booked and the condition of the cars was so terrible that I need to worry for my whole trips that will this car breakdown halfway. I will definitely not to recommend any of my friends or book any car rental from this company again.

Is easy to use but it did not match the type of car that I booked.

Provided car was smaller than booked (Volvo v60 5 doors instead VW Passat 4 doors), quite old and with spoiled parking assistance device. Unfortunately we agree to take it. In the middle of journey the car started to deteriorate: rare window wiper was working unproperly and trunk’s door was unable to open. But the company refused to change the car or provide some compensation because “malfunctions are only minor inconveniences”. Also one tire on the car was with very shallow tread, but were to assured “it is legal and safe”. Shuttle to airport after check-out was very slow and probable unsafe: we have waited about 30 minutes, and they have packed 10 passengers in 8-place minivan.

The driver was rude. The instructions were unclear and the hoops we had to go through for the car did not make up for the cheaper price. I will not rent from them again.

We have had a horrendous experience with Green Motion cars, the car which was given to us was a 10 year old car and on day 2 as we left Reykjavik to go around Iceland we started facing a number of issues: 1. The Air Con was not working- since it was peak summer in Iceland, we needed AC most of the time and the AC in the car was not working. 2. The wipers were not working and this caused lot of issues during the whole trip 3. Anti Mist not working- we faced a lot of issue because of the clouds/misty/foggy conditions where the anti-mist was not working. When we called support and customer services a number of times, they asked us to visit a garage in Mvytan where we had to go out of our way to visit the garage and the mechanic confirmed that the ac pump is broken and he also said if he changed the wiper blades it wont make much of difference as it was an old car and the wiper motors need change. We were asked to continue the trip in these horrendous conditions since they dont have any other option and would offer a discount when we return the car back.

No Yes Everything could be better ! Never will rent from green motion

Great people work there. Everything was perfect exept one thing - radio wasn't workin in the car.

Process was smooth and pleasant all round.

Amazing again!

Long wait to pick up our vehicle, almost 2 hours. Wouldn’t reimburse us for bringing the car back a day early when our flights got changed.

Our car wasn’t available so we waited 2 hours for a car. When we dropped it off at the end of the trip, it took so long that I missed my flight home and was stuck in Iceland an extra night.

When we returned car the staff at the car rental company said the car has a little scratch that even can't be seen it. They were trying to make us to pay for this damage and finally we found this scratch in the photo that we took before. we fought with this guy in a hour and almost missed flight. I will not use this GREEN MOTION again! By the way, I saw people complain the same situation in internet..

Green Motion staff was great, friendly and knowledgeable. Though they aimed at telling us the ash and sand damage is not covered by any insurance even I got Super Protection that covers all in my rental. They talked many times and eventually I was made to buy the ash and sand protection.

Price Protection is a great thing. But customer service could be more helpful in case. And the pick up location, it known could show by the photos or maps

The car wasn’t the Fiat 500 we had hoped for. But the Toyota Yaris they have us was brilliant! Lovely reception area with hot drinks.

Price drop came into play! Great little addition to using easy rent cars

They are a scam. Aweful service. Would not acknowledge my existing credit card insurance. Forced me to pay more money to get the car. Then upon return charged my credit card for damage that was pre existing. Will never rent through this service again.

Still did not get any official paper about my closed booking, still hola a lot of money on my bank account without any reason, no documents, just really terrible.

Green Motion is committing serious fraud against tourists. I would like to recommend you remove them from your listings. I was a victim and would be happy to share my story. It is not unique as there are many other similar stories based on posts on TripAdvisor: And Google (this review among countless others) https://goo.gl/maps/VC4dX28Efs8nXi6B9 My story followed the common narrative arc. Discount rental found on your site that it less expensive than many brand name rental companies. Pickup a car that is much worse shapre than typical for rental car companies (not a big deal since you are paying a discount rate). Do the walkaround and notice dings and chips. Drive away. Return car. New "dents" and "chips" are found - they are often inperceptible to the human eye unless you stand at just the right angle. Since no one does such a detailed inspection beforehand, it is impossible to know if they were already present among the constellation of dings and dents that were on the car to start with. Green Motion proceeds to claim damages and requires a credit card charge or they won't return you to the airport. They require a huge amount of money for the miniscule damages. In my case, they charged me 290,000 Kr. for two "dents" that were only visible from a particular angle and each were at most 2 mms long and 1 mm in depth. That is close to $2500. The whole car is barely worth that much. Since all the cars are in rough shape, it's a safe assumption that the car is never actually repaired and the company simply pockets the money. It is an absolute scam. The behavior is criminal.
