Insurance scam

I had a very bad experience with Green Motion on pickup. Due to weather in my departure city I arrived early and tried to pick up my car 4 hours early. I was more than willing to add an extra day to my rental at the rate I booked with you. The counter personnel was rude and then told me it would be $200.00 to get a car 4 hours early. I waited the 4 hours and then they charged me more than agreed upon in my rental agreement with easyrentcars.com. You are reimbursing me in the next couple of days. It was a lot of hassle and extra effort. I would prefer not to use Green motion in the future. This is the 4th time I have used easyrentcars in the past 8 months and I do think you are a good company but should stop using Green Motion.

Car was fine. However 1) it took over 30 minutes to be picked up (the "Omni" markings on the van were much more apparent than the "Green Motion" markings, which resulted in us almost missing the van), 2) the person at the pick-up counter was unfriendly, unaccomodating, made a big issue of our personal insurance, promoted the Green Motion tollway rip-off policy/pricing way too hard, indicated that the car's gas tank was half-full but input on the rental agreement that it was full, 3) when we returned the car with gas tank half-full as instructed, upon return, the return agent tried to charge us $90 for gas, 4) lastly, at $500 dollars, this was by far the largest deposit I had to pay for a rental car -- and for a rental that was only $160!!!. All that together means I won't be using Green Motion again.

I rented my car through EasyRentCars, and brought the Voucher I received from that company. On my arrival at the pick up location at Green Motion, 7640 Narcoossee Rd, Orlando, Fl 32822, I handed the colleague the printed version on this Voucher, and a printed version of the receipt I received from EasyRentCars. I explained that I did not need any further insurance, and directed her to read the Voucher. She did so. I agreed that I wanted the transponder activated for the toll roads. And agreed that the gas tank was fueled to between 1/2 and 1/4. When she asked me to sign for payment, I queried the amount of 227.90, as my voucher says that the amount due on pick-up was USD 46.25. Obviously the transponder would be additional to that, but still not 227.90. She assured me that the balance was simply a pre-auth to cover a USD 100 fee in case of smoking in the car, and a USD 200 fee in case of damage to the rims. I asked if there were any extras in this cost, other than the 46.25 due on collection, and the additional cost of the transponder. She assured me that there were no other charges and the actual payment would be as shown on my Voucher, and the balance of the amount was only a pre-authorisation. I dropped the car back to Green Motion, 7640 Narcoossee Rd, Orlando, Fl 32822 on time, undamaged, not smoked in, and with the gas at 1/2 a tank, and was shown immediately to the shuttle to the airport. I received the emailed invoice after I had cleared security at Orlando Airport, and I tried to telephone the pick up location, but was unable to connect. The invoice shows a number of additional charges not mentioned in my rental voucher with EasyRentCars. I am less than impressed with this as I worked hard to convey what I needed, what I had paid for, and what I expected. The car was great, as was the shuttle and service that excludes the financial aspect

My only complaint was I had to drive a mini van because they were out of compact. Car was banged up a little and turn signal out.
