GREEN MOTION - Manchester Airport Information, Car Rental Instructions & Policies

Very bad service. Not friendly and for deposit there were no price relation to what you got, not really any list where to so how much you pay for a deposit depending on size and brand of car. Deposit was more depending on how much they want in the moment.

The only issue I had was the price of an 'admin fee' for handling a fine I received. I feel it was very very expensive for sending an email to me, 84GBP is a rip off! The actual car was great in every way and I will use Green Motion again

An overall excellent experience, will use this company again

Great service, pleasant staff and good prices.

It took 40 minutes to pick up a pre-booked car. The counter staff were incredibly slow. In that time only 3 cars were booked out. A new bus load of customers then arrived and as there was no queuing system in place I had to stop the member of staff who was about to serve one of the later customers when it was my turn. The car was dirty and had lots of damage so the check took another 30 minutes. It was the worst car hire experience I have ever had.

The car itself was great. The exterior was not perfectly clean on pickup and may be the result of storing cars in an unsealed yard. There are no numbered parking bays. Finding your hire car can be tricky. The office directions were casual to non-existent but one of the yard staff kindly located the car for me. There is no designated place for car return, forcing hirers to cruise the yard looking for an available space to leave the vehicle. Overall it was great value for money and the service okay for the price paid.

Green motion takes a little long on pick up and they try to upsell unnecessary insurance. Vehicles usually good condition and price is competitive. Location is usually away from terminal at airports. Would use again of price is right

I wasn’t happy with the attempt to upsell me when I picked up the vehicle - I can only think the staff must be on significant commission if they achieve this. Only glad I picked it up, not feeling my sharpest after a long haul flight. Otherwise excellent.

The counter staff in particular Mr a Patel was very rude. I've emailed a complaint to Green motion regarding what ID is required. On their website & on the recorded information when you call the branch they state you only need a driving licence & proof of address, I didn't arrive on a flight. I had to return back home to get my passport a 40 mile round trip.

Shocking, hidden charges awaited me at pick up. Wen't and booked Hertz in the end,

Counter staff very friendly bit of a hard sell for extra insurance which i told them i had already bought. New staff though so probably told to try and sell. Car had all scratches on it which is unusual for them usually pristine but no trouble when i took it back

The price I thought I was going to pay was no where near the final price. You should be upfront on prices, because you know at the end of the day you know people are in a place where they cant say forget I’ll go somewhere else. They just want to be on their way. Also, you have to get out of the space you currently in, it is way to packed. People shouldn’t have to lug their bags to the bus because there’s no room for the bus to turn around.

Staff were very slow in taking care of customers; their main objective was to scare and bully you into as many additional insurances as possible, ignoring completely the coverage already subscribed to at the booking. Not helpful their policy to hand over the car with an (almost) empty fuel tank and expecting it back with the same level. On the positive side: The car I had booked was also the one I got - which is rather exceptional.

Very disappointed. I was forced me at the counter to pay 280 pounds extra for insurance. Though I had a credit card they said its not valid and they have to charge extra insurance otherwise I couldn't take the vehicle.

I've ordered a car with full petrol deposit and it was almost out of petrol. There wasn't any water for cleaning the mirrors

Got a good upgrade to a Hybrid car that was excellent

Excellent service. Friendly and efficient. Thank you for the upgrade! Only downside is that there is limited staff at check in and as travellers all arrive with the same bus the waiting time is a bit long.

There wasn't a long wait time in line, but the customer service tried to upsell expensive insurance.

The order reminder was to call the car rental company upon arriving in Manchester, they would pick us up at the airport and take us to the rental location. On June 15th, after we arrived at the airport, we contacted the rental company several times, and each time they said they would come immediately. Even the staff at the airport information desk and the traffic coordinators helped us call the rental company. However, we waited at the airport for over an hour before they arrived. When we finally got to the rental location, there were only three customers ahead of us, but we still had to wait another hour. During the car pick-up procedures, the staff continuously tried to sell us insurance. On June 17th, when we returned the car, the company claimed we had exceeded the mileage by 190 miles and needed to pay extra. We pulled out our rental order, which clearly stated a maximum of 432 kilometers. The initial mileage was 6333 miles, and when we returned the car, it was 6570 miles, totaling 237 miles, which is 379.2 kilometers, not exceeding the 432-kilometer limit. After we pointed this out, the staff apologized and admitted their mistake. The service of this car rental company is truly subpar, and we will be more cautious in choosing next time.

The staff were not British, had very heavy accents, which made it hard to understand them. They were unprofessional and did not offer any explanations or suggestions. The rental cost shown was £231, but I ended up paying £780.95. They required an additional £440 for insurance (for 2 people) and £110 for a second driver. A Visa card without the UnionPay logo was needed for payment, which was a bit frustrating.
