Try to avoid green motion if you can

Fair and standard.

Arrived at 11 PM. It was cold and raining in Edinburgh; only two staff members were working, and they were slow and had an average attitude. I had read about others’ experiences beforehand, so I came prepared with a China Merchants Bank Platinum International Card, embossed, Visa-only, no UnionPay mark. But when picking up the car, they said the card couldn't be used for the deposit; I had to purchase full insurance on the spot to get the car. The insurance payment went through, and they explained that transactions and deposits go through different channels. They didn’t accept cash deposits, and I couldn’t cancel the order at that point, so I ended up paying £600+ for insurance. I saw other Europeans having the same issue when picking up their cars, so it felt like the company makes money off these insurance fees. I’ve never experienced such a scam in other countries. Warning other travelers not to fall for this.

I use green motion seven or eight times a year and have yet to get the car I actually book, but it’s always near new and usually in pristine condition. It can be a bit slow on pickup and they can be super picky with condition on return. I’ve definitely been the cause of a scratch to two in the past, but there’s been at least one occasion where I’ve been charged for damage that I halve definitely not caused, which was barely perceptible and so missed on initial inspection. My advice is to be super picky with anything before driving away.

An overall excellent experience, will use this company again

Cannot comment on customer service as we didn’t require it, but all other aspects of service excellent

Hard to find, as I didn't know I was looking for "Green Motion" or that this was inside the hotel.

Quick, easy and good value. I would have benefited from knowing the name of the agency I was picking up from, as it is not visible from the street.
