CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON GREEN MOTION AT BUDAPEST AIRPORT, BUD

The car was very new, with only 1000 kilometers on it, and it was highly equipped. It's rare to rent such a well-equipped car.

We got a brand-new hybrid car with only 77 kilometers on the odometer and drove it across Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, and Austria using a Hong Kong driver’s license to complete the rental paperwork. We covered a total of 3,153 kilometers with an average fuel consumption of 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers. At the counter, €1,500 (€1,300 deposit + €200) was frozen on the card, and we paid €91 for the cross-border fee and Hungarian highway toll. The car return process was very straightforward; the staff checked the dashboard, inspected the car from all sides, opened all five doors for a quick check, and then had me sign off. Shortly after, I received the notification that the €1,300 deposit was released. The station wagon's trunk was very practical—it accommodated three 24-inch suitcases with room to close the lid, and for our trip, we packed two 24-inch suitcases, one 20-inch suitcase, and still had space for a backpack. The only downside was that the hybrid car had sluggish acceleration, lacked power for overtaking, and generated significant noise.

I booked a guaranteed Audi Q3...didn't get the car and was not even mentioned at the pick-up that they're sorry for not giving me the car I booked. Got a Mini Countryman instead which was good but not what I booked. I feel like I overpaid because of this.

Smooth as always

The car pickup location is super easy to find. Just turn left after exiting, and there’s a row of car rental companies. Service is quick, and returning the car is straightforward—the staff just did a quick check and it was fine.

Small car rental companies are still unreliable. I was extremely careful while driving, with no accidents, yet they still found excuses to charge extra. When we arrived, we had to call them, and it took the staff 10 minutes to come from the airport. There was no formal process; they just took a quick look at the car and said it was fine. Later, because we didn’t wash the car, they claimed there were scratches after they washed it, but there were none at the time of return—I even have photos as evidence. It felt like they might have used chalk or something to fake the damage, giving off a bit of a scammy vibe. They also claimed some interior parts were missing, but I didn’t notice anything wrong, and no one mentioned it at the time of inspection. Overall, it felt like they were just making up lies to charge extra.

The value for money of the car is excellent.
