It's a very useful and convenient service, I just wished there were more options around me and the price was lower, 29 euros to 3h and 16km was too much, I would not use it for longer trips or to go to other cities.

I opened an account because I expected to use it. After several months without renting anything, I closed the account. They sent me an email saying they had made a bank transfer to return my deposit, but the bank account number did not match and I never received the deposit back.

For months I have been sending emails to customer service and making phone calls to explain the situation, but I have never received any reply. Very unreliable and unprofessional. A company to avoid, terrible service.

Customer unfriendly

I had a very frustrating experience with Greenwheels. I booked a car for the next morning and canceled the reservation within 30 minutes. However, I did not receive any cancellation confirmation email. In fact, I received no communication at all — no cancellation notice and no usage reminder — until I was sent an invoice stating that the amount would soon be deducted from my bank account.

I contacted customer service immediately, but it has been over a week and I have not received any response.

This lack of communication and support is extremely disappointing.

Hi Katsuko, when you become a Greenwheels driver, all the rules are shared with you. One of these rules is that your rate does not allow you to cancel a reservation starting within 24 hours free of charge. If you make a reservation within those 24 hours, you have 15 minutes after making the reservation to cancel free of charge. Since I see that this is your first reservation, I have made an exception this time. You have just received an email about this. See you next time on the road! ^Mara

Excessive fees and costs severely limits the uselfullnes of this service

What is the point of a short trip car rental company that charges 6 euros in fees per trip? That 30min booking to pickup shopping, pick someone up from the train station or an item from marktplaats is now double the price. This is what is mainly used for?
This company also uses community resources - such as the very limited parking in Oegstgeest - and competes for these spots with other companies. Therefore, I think they have a responisbility for fairer prices.
I was also not impressed by the sneaky automatic opt-out charging of reduced risk insurance, which I only saw after I spent a lot of money on it. Greenwheels refuses to compensate despite the consumer bond recommendations to do so.

Hi Andrew, I can imagine that you are disappointed that there are additional costs when you make a reservation. This only applies to the type of subscription you have chosen. The costs are shown during the reservation process and can easily be found on the website and in the Greenwheels app.

We exchanged emails last week and explained in detail why your situation is not covered by the compensation scheme. You could choose to look at the other subscriptions, as these offer the option of buying out the own risk and do not charge a starting fee. You can check the website to see if another subscription is more suitable for your situation. ^Mara

Handy for short trips and simple to use

Really simple to use, lots of cars available all the time. Theres not so many automatics but for me that’s not a problem. App is super easy to use. It’s not the cheapest - the costs can add up quickly if you go a long distance but it’s really handy for short trips. Re-fueling is really easy too. I use the cars all the time

Hi Joanne, glad to hear you're using the cars all the time and enjoying them! As we are in the process of replacing more and more cars with electric ones, the range of cars with automatic transmission will continue to grow. If you find yourself making more frequent or longer trips, you may want to check out our other rates that are specifically designed for this purpose. You'll save money that way. ^Mara

Disappointing and misleading

Disappointing and misleading. The cancellation process is a black box. I was charged 80% of the booking fee with zero prior warning in the app. No cancellation receipt, no clear rules shown. I would have rather used the car than pay for nothing. Very poor customer transparency.
Before I write this review I wrote an email to you. I still haven’t got a reply from you yet. When I canceled, it was a night before the day I was planning to use the service, I cancelled within 30 minutes. My reservation was 10:30 in the morning onward.

Hi Ameno, I understand that you are disappointed about having to pay for a cancellation. Unfortunately, I was unable to find an account with this name to view the reservation.

The cancellation policy varies depending on the subscription. With most subscriptions, you can cancel free of charge until the start of the reservation. Only with the Soms-rate is cancellation free of charge up to 24 hours before the start of the reservation.

The rules for reservations and cancellations are clearly communicated on the website and when you register as a new customer. Furthermore, each reservation confirmation states when you can cancel free of charge and what will be charged if you cancel too late. But I can view your reservation if you contact customer service about this. ^Mara

A 579 Euro charge

I returned the car where I picked it up: an electric charging spot. The car was full when I returned it (I had only driven 4 kilometers) - thus, I didn't plug it in. The car got towed, and Greenwheels wants me to pay 579 Euros. Greenwheels answers that their customers should know that they need to charge the car even though it is full. I would have never dreamt of plugging a full car in (and to prevent someone else from charging). Greenwheels needs to do a better job of clarifying this! What, also, about a warning sign: "You risk a 579 Euro fine if you don't plug the car in even if it is fully charged".

Hi Andreas, I’m sorry to hear that you received a fine. I have checked the fine for you, and I can see that the car was towed because it was parked in a place where it was not allowed, specifically in a charging spot without being connected to the charging station. You also received an email with an explanation about this. ^Lin
