Travel Restrictions

Green Motion vehicles can only be used on the UK mainland - including Scottish Islands, Isle of Wight and Isle of Man – without written permission to do otherwise.

Any costs associated with customer misuse/not using the vehicle in a sympathetic fashion e.g mis-fuelling or clutch misuse, in these islands will be the customer’s responsibility and customers should expect longer response times for warranty breakdown. Please ask counter staff about Roadside Assistance Plus.

Permission for use in Ireland* or on the continent and France will attract the following charges

The cost will be calculated as the Standard rental + £140 surcharge + £30 per part calendar day.

Permission is not assured and must be sought from the Green Motion supplying location 7 days prior to any overseas use. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure all that all European driving regulations are followed including GB stickers plus any mandatory equipment required. If prior notice is not given then permission at the rental counter may be refused.

Failure to obtain permission will result in a breach of contract and will incur charges including reverting to a rack rated tariff. (https://greenmotion.co.uk/rack-rate) Charges will be dependent on the circumstances of each case e.g the cost of repatriation of the vehicle, foreign storage costs or impounding costs.

When a vehicle is taken overseas a daily mileage limit of 100 miles will be applied to the ENTIRE rental. Mileage over the agreed amount with be charged at £0.30 pence per mile. Any unlimited mileage package applies to travel in the UK only.

Green Motion are unable to provide 'French Air Quality Certificates' to customers wishing to drive in Paris, Grenoble or Lyon therefore fines and potential charges may apply. We would recommend you do not drive our vehicles in these cities. If you take our vehicle to these cities and incur a fine then all costs relating to this fine will need to be covered by the hirer.

*Vehicles hired in Northern Ireland will not attract a fee for travel into the Republic of Ireland.

Cancellation and no-show policy

What is your cancellation policy for fully prepaid or part-paid bookings?

1 - If you cancel 48 hours prior to your pick-up, you will be refunded in full.

2 - If you cancel less than 48 hours in advance of pick-up, you will receive a refund minus BHD39. If your online payment is less than BHD39, no refund will be made for your car hire booking.

3 - If your booking is made less than 48 hours before pick up, the cancellation policy will automatically apply to your booking.

4 - All cancellations should be made online via the Manage Booking page prior to the scheduled pick-up time and not with the car rental provider.

5 - You can make any changes to your booking up to 48 hours before pick-up, with no additional charge, however, live pricing will apply. If you amend your booking less than 48 hours in advance of pick-up, the amount you currently paid will be carried over to your new booking minus a late amendment fee of BHD21.00. If you have paid less than BHD21.00, no amount will be carried over to your new booking.

6 - If you cancel your booking less than 48 hours before pick-up you will be charged a cancellation fee of BHD39. If you have paid less than BHD39, you will not be charged more than you currently paid.

If you purchased our Damage Refund Insurance product and have since decided to cancel your car rental booking, the Damage Refund Insurance will be cancelled automatically.

If you wish to amend or rearrange your booking, the Damage Refund Insurance will initially be cancelled. We will, however, automatically create a new policy for your new booking.

In both cases you will receive an email to confirm the cancellation at the email address you have provided during the online booking process.

Please be aware that if you cancel your insurance policy less than 24 hours before the start of your car hire agreement, no refund for insurance will be granted.

What is a no-show?

A 'no-show' occurs for the following reasons:

1 - You didn't inform us about your cancellation prior to your pick-up time.

2 - You failed to pick up the car at the arranged time and date.

3 - You failed to provide the documentation that's required to pick up the car.

4 - You failed to provide a credit card in the main driver's name with enough available funds on it.

In the event of any of the above, no refunds will be made to you.

The car hire company reserves the right to refuse a car if you fail to arrive on time with all necessary documentation and a credit card with enough available funds for the car's security deposit. In such a case, unless the car hire has been cancelled at least 48 hours in advance, you will not be entitled to a refund.
