We waited at the North Terminal bus station of Gatwick Airport in London for a while before a shuttle from the rental company picked us up. The car pickup process wasn't pleasant. My husband’s Chinese license translation wasn't accepted. I showed my UK license but was told it would cost £15 to call and verify its authenticity with the DVLA, although they didn't ultimately charge the £15. The staff had a very bad attitude. Also, because I bought full insurance from Zuzuche, they said it wasn't valid, and any scratch or minor issue found on return would result in a £2800 charge to my card, leaving me to claim with my insurance company back home. We drove very carefully and argued with each other a lot. Luckily, there were no issues when returning the car. I’ve learned my lesson and won't choose a rental company with low rental fees but high insurance excess again. It spoiled our trip's joy.
I was given a brand new car for my rental. As I had no experience of an electric car, the staff explained everything to me. The time at the counter is always a bit slow, as with most car hire companies. As I hire on a regular basis, usually every six weeks, it would be great if Green Motion could store my information on their records.

Qeeq is always the cheapest. My only quibble is when I book around 6 weeks in advance, I get my price. Around 5-6 days before the hire date I check if price has come down with Qeeq price checker. I then double check by creating a new booking for the same dates. Often it is a lot cheaper, so I cancel original booking and proceed with new booking. I shouldn't have to do this if Qeeq price checker was doing it's job!
The car was good - paid for an upgrade to give us an additional driver. Delayed at collection due to their internet not working well. Upon dropoff they found a long scratch that could have been there at pickup or may have happened during the rental (it directly lined up with the crease at the base of the doors) - I certainly didn't hit anything but it could've been done when parked some time. Not dissing them on this, luckily my insurance paid the amount in full that I was charged. They are generally fair about rentals and scuffs/dings - I would definitely use them again
“Good clean car with low mileage. The addition of a passenger was a bit pricey, 10 GBP per day.”
