Very disappointed

The only positive impression was that the staff were friendly. However, I am disappointed for two reasons: one the late pick up from Airport since the company has no office in the airport, the second is that it has been nearly 20 days and my money has not been released yet. So, I am afraid that I have been ripped!

Thank you for noting that the staff were friendly. We understand your concern about the late airport collection and the money you say has still not been released after nearly 20 days. Please email your booking reference and the relevant transaction details privately to ics@cs.greenmotion.com so customer services can check the status and explain the timeline.

Everything was excellent and fast!

Everything went smoothly and very quickly. The staff at the desk were very friendly and welcoming. The Toyota Yaris was in perfect condition—exactly the car I had planned and expected. Highly recommend this Green Motion location at Paphos Airport for a hassle-free rental!

Thank you for recommending our Paphos location. We are glad the Toyota Yaris was the car you expected, in good condition, and that the desk team made collection quick and welcoming.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

good vehicle, great staff

We received exactly the sort of vehicle we wanted - something on the smaller side rather than the "upgrade" to a large SUV that some places foisted upon us.
The staff at the location were helpful and friendly, and didn't pressure us to get more than what we'd booked.

Thank you for your review. We are glad the smaller vehicle suited your needs and that the Bristol team were helpful without pressing you to change what you had booked.

Worst car hire I have ever used

Worst car hire I have ever used. I am used to other car rental companies in South Africa like Avis and Hertz which refund the deposit within 48 hours. With this one it was a nightmare. I received my deposit after six weeks subsequent to numerous phone calls and emails. And what outraged me the most, is when their staff and Financial Manager do not see anything wrong with their refund policy and see nothing wrong with the fact that the customers have to make phone calls and follow up on their deposit refunds. I would advise anyone to stay away from them if they want to maintain their sanity. Terrible refund policy and customer service, to say the least !!!😭😭😭😭😭

We understand why waiting six weeks for your deposit, while having to make repeated calls and send emails, left you frustrated. We cannot establish the payment timeline from the review alone. Please email your booking reference and relevant transaction details privately to ics@cs.greenmotion.com so customer services can review what happened and explain the delay.
