Thank you for your review. We’re pleased the transaction at Durban Industria was smooth and pleasant.
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.

We cannot determine the deposit status from the review.

I have traveled around the world and this was the best rental car experience I have ever had! The pickup and drop off of the rental car at the departure lane at the airport was seamless! The staff was courteous and professional! The car was exactly what I had rented and it was immaculate! I wish all rental car experiences were like this and I highly recommend them!
