Was not given a car unless I paid a ridiculous deposit after booking. They haven't refunded the initial booking after I was left stranded without a car. AVOID at all costs. Currently attempting to get a chargeback from Credit Card.

pick up time was quite long but it was a busy day and I just missed one bus so 30 mins wait for the next. Better instructions to locate the bus would help

Read the fine print in their contract before you book. I was denied a rental because of my occupation.

We were warned that this company is notorious for nickle-and-diming you for minor scratches and damage to the vehicle. Thankfully we had on issues and were diligent with our pre and post rental inspections; however, I think it makes sense to warn potential renters. Additionally, note that their location is not -- in fact -- at the airport. Instead, you have to PURCHASE shuttle tickets between the nearby Novotel Hotel and the Airport, which adds time and cost to those flying in and out of Stansted Airport. Other than that, they allowed us to return the car on Saturday (some rental car businesses don't have weekend hours in this area), and everything went great. Budget rental, friendly staff. I would probably use them again?

Rental pick up is at Novotel about 15 min bus ride from Stanstead terminal. Bus pick up point is difficult to find, no signs or directions and is not with main car rental locations. Bus runs about every half hour, so could take 45 min or so to get to Greenmotion rental office which is a small trailer, staffed by indifferent people a short walk from the hotel. Took a long time to complete all their paper work, even though I had pre-paid on line. Agents try to sell you all kinds of add-ons. Car was nice, clean etc.

No directions to car rental pick up point at Stansted Airport. It is not in the car rental village, you have to get a bus from the main bus stands to a hotel right on the outskirts at the airport complex. The information for the car drop off point at Heathrow is wrong. It is not at The Sheraton Skyline. After an hour of searching (no-one was answering the Easirent phone) I found it. It is currently in a plot of land behind the Moxey hotel. There is no shuttle bus from there to the airport. The Moxey Hotel bus only runs once an hour. I had to get a taxi to terminal 2. The operator at Stansted was extremely efficient and friendly. He deserves to work for a better company. The vehicle was in great condition and good value for money.

Liked nothing. Telling the truth on price when booking cost us an extra £75.00.

Everything went fast and easy. I was lucky and got a car upgrade. The airport bus that took us to the rental village at arrival lasted half an hour, that was a bit annoying, but it had nothing to do with enterprise.
