I was referred to them through the visiting the UK Facebook group, everybody's recommendation was excellent, some said a little pricey, but the customer service, peace of mind and everything that went along with it made it all that more worthwhile. We rented a car, 9 days, picked up a Milton Keynes England, dropped off at Heathrow airport. Took the train from London, Steve. Our reservation guy even provided us with emailed instructions on how to get to the pickup, drop off locations and our hotel all by train until we picked up our car a few days after arrival. We out there for the full insurance even though our Visa card covers insurance, was not that expensive and worthwhile for the peace of mind. We had no mechanical issues, brand new Kia with about 15,000 mi on it. Was allotted 250 mi a day, we drove north all through Scotland, England, Wales and back to Heathrow with no issues. Definitely recommend this company if you want. Peace of mind and if you're all about customer service, which is extremely important when you're visiting a foreign country from your own. The guy who dropped us off at the airport from Heathrow was awesome as was Steve, our original guy we booked with. We opted for the dash cam and found that it did not have one when we went to drop the car off because we wanted the SD card which you are able to buy. When picking up the guy said there was one in there, pointing to the dashboard, not being familiar with their system. System I took his word for it. We truly wanted the dash cam so we can have a view of our last few hours of driving to take home with us. Other than that, absolutely perfect rental for us.

Unfortunately we had to return the car a bit later than expected and were charged an extra full day's fee, but since this was a last minute change on our end, I understand. It cost about $72 USD per day, which I thought was a great value. Checking in and out was relatively easy through Arnold Clarke, their contractor. I didn't like that no one welcomed us when we came in, leaving us to stand awkwardly until they decided to pay us attention. Drop off was easy and they shuttled us to the airport. Forgot to take a picture of the car but we did love taking it up to the Highlands.

The staff was super friendly and we even got a small credit for bringing it back with more fuel than when we got it (we got a half tank to start). Overall a great experience and would definitely rent from them again if we visit Edinburgh in the future.

We were tricked into buying an expensive upgrade by lies about road conditions in the highlands and the insistence that we needed a bigger car for our own safety on these difficult roads. Quite the opposite, my original choice of car would have served us much better. The roads were NOT as described by the dishonest employee, not even close. Aside from the lies meant to scare us into a bigger automatic car, the 70% discount was not applied correctly (unless the price of a daily rental magically jumped 100% that day). Again, lies about how their cars regularly rent for £250/day but I can't find anything that expensive on their website, even for the busy tourist season. When I brought these issues and the general rudeness to customer service via email, I was summarily dismissed. The excuse? No one was there to witness the verbal exchange (so my account is not to be believed). If you are forced to use this company, video record all of your interactions so you have proof of mistreatment and dishonest tactics.

He told me that my car was not prepaid (it was booked via Chase Travel and I received a confirmation of this booking directly from Hertz and was pre-paid). I told him that I did not want any additional insurance from Hertz. He indicated that the £208 amount was for the car rental. When I returned the car on 7/25, I discovered that the £208 amount was for the insurance, which I did NOT want. Hertz refused to refund the charge even though it was their employees mistake and misrepresentation of the charge that confused me. Horrible company. Horrible service.

If I could give HERTZ in Edinburgh (near the airport) zero stars, I would. We had reserved a…read moreautomatic, mid-size car, well in advance of our trip. When we arrived, the options given were manual transmission, petrol driven or automatic, electric. While that sounds like a no-brainer, it is NOT. Since it was going to be difficult driving on the left, shifting with our left hand would make driving hazardous to everyone on the road. Reluctantly, we took the automatic, electric vehicle. The HERTZ rep showed us a map of all the EV charging stations in the UK. That map is WRONG. Over half the EV charging stations were broken. Calling the HELP number verified that the particular station we were at was scheduled to be fixed - like 2 months ago. Another 25% would not take credit cards - you needed an RFID card that cannot be picked up anywhere in the UK, it has to be mailed. So, we ended up sitting at an EV station while the car charged - easily for an hour at a time - after we'd spent more than an hour driving from station to station only to find them either broken or not accepting credit cards. This situation was worse in the Highlands and on Islay/Skye. When we found an EV station that worked, it was usually in an isolated place. No restaurants, no shops, not even a nice hiking trail. So we had to sit in the car while it charged. This took a chunk of time out of our 2 week vacation and added frustration and stress to a time we should be relaxing. HERTZ and other rental car companies in the UK need to give renters an RFID card so they can use more of the EV charging stations. We'd have been happy to pay HERTZ at the end of the trip for any EV charges if they'd had given us an RFID card. Bottom line: if renting an automatic transmission car in the UK, be prepared to sit at EV charging stations almost every day because finding one that works is like finding a piece of glass on a sandy beach. Also, having a navigator help the driver with the roundabouts - which are everywhere - is critical. The driver will be having enough trouble staying on the left but merging into and out of the roundabouts can be complex, especially if the roundabout is 3 lane deep. Good Luck!

The car was returned undamaged on 3 August 2025. A security deposit of £1,505.00 was deducted from our credit card on 28 July 2025. This deposit has not been refunded by 15 November 2025 despite repeated requests for both refund and explanation for the delay. Green Motion have sent 2 emails on 18 August 2025 and 1 October 2025 saying the deposit will be refunded. Since then we have had no response to emails or phone calls. We are now back home in Australia and this has become very stressful and difficult to deal with given a total lack of communication and the tyranny of distance. We have been regular customers of Green Motion UK since 2018 and have never had an issue but waiting 3.5 months for a refund of a security deposit is both ridiculous and unacceptable.

I have photos of the damage (nicks, scratches, etc.) being present at the time of rental. A month later and half way around the world I'm still contesting. I suppose I can accept part of the blame for not checking Yelp beforehand. If I had, I probably would gone elsewhere given the number of outright negative reviews.

So in total it took more than 6 hours to wait for a taxi. They did not replace the car for the next day, so we had to cancel our tee-time at a golf course with no refund. In the end they charged the full price (incl insurance) for the second day without a car! Everybody friendly but the whole system is grossly incompetent! I am using Sixt all over Europe and in the US and never had such a bad experience! Since weeks I am trying now to get my money back for the second day. No reaction! This is incredibly poor customer service! I will need a lawyer!

First when we arrived from the US and went to the agency, we found out that our reservation was canceled. Unfortunately our flight had been delayed for 3 hours. We had no way of contacting the agency as we were on a flight. They gave our confirmed rental to someone else. The agency found a van on the site and gave that t us. That is where the problems began. Initially we were advised not to utilize the left side passenger door as it was not operational. We agreed we were on with that although not ideal. We had a 7 day rental. On the 5th day while driving back from St Andrews to Edinburgh, we experienced a flat tire. Thankfully, we were near an exit and we able to pull off the road safely. We called the age and they sent out a recovery agent. This took over 3 hours. When the recovery agent arrived he informed us that this was the 3rd time this month he as our for the same vehicle. He inspected the tire and informed us that this vehicle should never have been rented out. The tire was extremely bald and extremely dangerous to drive on. At that point we decided to return the car. We had to incur the extra expense of getting back to Edinburgh by bus. Fast forward to arriving home and trying to get a refund for the two days of rental we did not use What a nightmare!!! Due to Easirent canceling our reservation, we had to pay again. DOUBLED CHARGED FOR THIS INSAFW VEHICLE. When I called to ask for the refund the manager Scott was extremely rude. I said do you realize how unsafe this vehicle was. If the tire blew out it could have caused a very bad accident injuring or Kiki g the 5 people in the vehicle as well as others around us. He did not care and tried to blame it on our use. I booked through Expedia and I initially they could not get them to change their decision. We had to contact the credit card companies to assist. We are still waiting on their reply. Today I found out they reimbursed us $270 pounds which equates to $296 US dollars. This does not even come close to what we paid for the 7 days nor the inconvenience we had to endure and the expense for the bud tickets. We asked them to reimburse us a total of $619.95 in US dollars to make us whole. They continue to refuse even-though they received that amount twice. I am posting pictures of the bald tire on the vehicle for all to see. This company DOES NOT MAINTAIN THEIR VEHICLES. RENTERS BEWARE. I had to do one star for the review but trust me it should be 0.
