Peugeot- We actually received a Peugeot 208 instead of a Polo, which was good.

About GREEN MOTION:9.7/10
The staff was helpful in using the dreaded Dartford Tunnel, and eased problems thereof with full assistance. First assistant was a bit overbearing when trying to "upsell" insurance.On that subject, there is still a $1500 + charge in my credit card statement 2 1/2 days after returning the car with no problems.Most rental companies do not charge as much, and the charge is cancelled faster.

Overall, good value, - would consider using again now that we know where to get shuttle etc.
The return inspection is extremely strict. They use a flashlight to meticulously search for tiny scratches and small damages (some of which were not recorded and normal people wouldn't even notice). They found one small chip on the windshield and demanded to replace the entire glass, demanding an immediate payment of £900. It's blatant fraud! (I complained to their customer service and requested a re-inspection, they said they took it to a repair shop to polish it). If you had bought their insurance, they wouldn't be so strict with the inspection. The next client who doesn't buy their insurance will be in trouble. It's a despicable practice!
We waited at the North Terminal bus station of Gatwick Airport in London for a while before a shuttle from the rental company picked us up. The car pickup process wasn't pleasant. My husband’s Chinese license translation wasn't accepted. I showed my UK license but was told it would cost £15 to call and verify its authenticity with the DVLA, although they didn't ultimately charge the £15. The staff had a very bad attitude. Also, because I bought full insurance from Zuzuche, they said it wasn't valid, and any scratch or minor issue found on return would result in a £2800 charge to my card, leaving me to claim with my insurance company back home. We drove very carefully and argued with each other a lot. Luckily, there were no issues when returning the car. I’ve learned my lesson and won't choose a rental company with low rental fees but high insurance excess again. It spoiled our trip's joy.
Slow and inconvenient- shuttle took ages to arrive and there was only one person at the check in desk. Process for check in was unnecessarily slow and new costs were added even though we had bought full cover online, ended up missing flight back because shuttle was so slow dropping us back to airport.
I have given feedback to Green motion, to tell them that their minibus driver was exemplary and a credit to their organisation.
