Company details
Written by the company
Green Motion operates a car hire desk serving London City Airport (LCY), based at the London Regatta Centre, 1012 Dockside Road, London, E16 2QT.

Thank you for your review. We are glad pickup near London City Airport was quick and that the car and coverage suited your plans.
Great price but disgraceful deposit practice
Green Motion provided a great car at a great price, with friendly staff but the practice of demanding an outrageously high deposit and not releasing it for a MONTH is truly appalling. I have effectively lost my credit card for an entire month - my available credit limit is £1,500, the amount I had to provide to Green Motion. EVERY other rental company has required a deposit of £200, refunded 3 days after the return. Every other company! It was hard for me to provide the £1,500 in the first place, as I had to transfer funds into my credit card. So if you are thinking of renting from Green Motion, look beyond the cheap rates and consider the inconvenience of this predatory practice. Can you afford to be without a credit card for a month?
