Worst car rental experience I’ve ever…

Worst car rental experience I’ve ever had in my life. 54 years old. Mother is dying and I tried to move the dates forward a couple days. They said absolutely not. “You a promotional deal and you cannot cancel” unbelievable. The lady was so rude. Read the fine print with these guys. Shocking.

Very good price

Very good price, they didn't push the extras. The car was near new. They are located away from the airport, so needed to be picked up by shuttle. They dropped us off in our rental on return, so that was an easy experience. The agent spoke good english.

Pick up was from a ver busy location so there was a queue and a delay. I was not in a particular hurry however, but I would imagine this can be an inconvenience to some customers. Staff were very helpful, particularly with upgrades. I have also mentioned before, that as a Premium Plus customer I do not understand the need to wait while the vehicle is inspected (albeit a fairly minor inspection) on return.

We appreciate your four-star rating and your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the helpful service from our team, during your vehicle upgrade.

We aim to balance thorough vehicle checks with speed and efficiency for our top-tier customers. We will share your thoughts with our operations team to refine our procedures and improve the overall check-in experience.

We hope to see you again soon.

I liked everything in terms of service and friendliness of the staff. What I did not like was the effort I had to go through to get my deposit back. I believe that the responsibility is 100% on your side to see to it that your customers get the deposit back and not for us to go through a lot to prove to you that we did not get the deposit back.

Two years, no complaints

I’ve used this company two years in a row now and am happy to recommend them. I’ve had a good experience both times with efficient service at pick up and return of the vehicle. I chose to do the online pre check of documents, which I recommend. Also be sure that it’s the main driver’s credit card used on the booking as I overheard another person having issues with that despite the clear instructions when booking.

Stuff is good, but the car is not so good

Stuff is great and deserves kudos. The car, though, had issues. I was already too far away to return it and had to endure the problems for three weeks. The last week, they were helpful in giving me another car. The A/C didn't work well, and one tire kept going flat.

I was happy with everything

I was happy with everything, except that they held onto my deposit unnecessarily without an explanation outside 21 working days being a standard procedure. I'm now on day 17 without getting my deposit back.

A good experience overall.

Pick up was very good. Driver had sign when we got off the plane and was friendly. Car was in decent shape.

Drop off was not so good as driver late was to the airport in spite of us texting him 1 hour before we arrived. We had to wait in the underground parking lot for around 40 minutes. Nirobie traffic is bad and he should have known that!

Car had no spare tire - not great as we drove into Rural Kenya!

Green motion car rental review…

Car already to collect nice modern Volkswagen troc was a little unsure of how to inspect the car for damage before signing paperwork Pedro assured me just to take photos of car as proof of condition. Would have been nice to have been shown how to get the sat nav to work prior to driving off luckily my partner managed to get her phone to direct us to the hotel which was a. Hour drive away . Other than that Pedro and his team were excellent and returning the car was nice and straight forward

Excellent Car Rental Experience in Croatia

I had an excellent experience renting a car in Croatia. The entire process was smooth, easy and completely hassle-free. The staff were outstanding, extremely professional, friendly, helpful and well organised.
From start to finish, everything was handled efficiently, making the whole experience stress free. I would highly recommend their service to anyone looking to rent a car in Croatia.
I will definitely choose them again for all my future car rentals in Croatia! Thank you for such excellent service.
