Green Motion UAE Abu Dhabi is an…
Green Motion UAE Abu Dhabi is an absolute scam, trying to make up scratches on an old car that has a seen better days.
As we picked up the car, I specifically asked why they did not document the multiple damages on the car . "not neccessary" I was told. I documented all the damages myself on my phone for our own protection, which proved vital.
On returning the car, the assessor with the suitable name "Lovely" was making up scratches, pointing out scratches that were already there at the point of collecting. Also pointing out stains in the back seat, that were there at the point of collectiong the car. This ended up in a conflict, very sad way to end your stay in UAE.
I ended up forcing the manager Jetha signing a paper, where it states clearly that we have not damaged the car, this since it seems like a big scam, milking the customers.
"A deposit will be blocked on the customer's credit card until the end of the rental period". According to Discover Cars Agreement. Deposit shall be returned upon returning the car, Green motion ABU DHABI tells me they will hold the money 14 days. I have called AMEX about this, and they confirm they are holding this money. (Which is not as agreed).
Have still not recieved my 1500 aed deposit back, and in case this is not paid back soon Green Motion UAE will face legal action.
I get the feeling this is no safer than renting a scooter in Goa India, you will be scammed.
DO NOT USE GREEN MOTION ABU DHABI
UPDATE 17/4 2023: I HAVE CONTACTED GREEN MOTION BELOW AS THEY HAVE REQUESTED.
UPDATE 19/4 2023: NO ANSWER ON MY REPLY TO GREEN MOTION, THIS JUST SHOWS THAT THE REPLY THEY GAVE TO MY REVIEW BELOW IS A STANDARD COPY+PASTE ANSWER, JUST TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE DOING SOMETING, WHICH INFACT THEY ARE NOT.
UPDATE: 21/4 2023 GREEN MOTION HAS ANSWERED MY MAIL, AND I HAVE CONTACTED MY BANK, THE BRANCH HAVE CLEARED THE PRE-AUTHORIZATION OF THE MONEY (EVEN THOUGH THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE 14 DAYS AGO ACCORDING TO AGREEMENT WITH DISCOVERY CARS.) FUNNILY ENOUGH THEY WANT ME TO PROVE THINGS, EVEN THOUGH ITS THEM THAT HAVE KEPT MY MONEY LOCKED. AWAITING ANSWERS ON MY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING BREACH OF CONTRACT ON HOLDING MONEY, TRYING TO SCAM ME ON SITE IN ABU DHABI, THEIR OWN DOCUMENTATION AND PROCEDURES WHEN RENTING OUT CARS.
Good Morning,
Thank you for your email.
In order to look into this for you, can you please provide written confirmation from your bank that the deposit is still pending or has been charged.
Please be advised that pre-authorised transactions do not necessarily show as a separate transaction when they are released. The amount will just show on your available balance again.
As bank / credit card statements do not differentiate between pre-authorised transactions and charges, we cannot accept these as evidence.
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards,
Dane
MY RESPONSE, WAITING FOR CLEAR ANSWERS ON THIS, AS PROMISED BY GREEN MOTION:
Hello
You are not responding to any other concerns in my Trustpilot review regarding your outlet in Abu Dhabi?
* Your own documentation before releasing car.
* The fact that they tried scamming us on return, with made up scratches and false history.
* That you are holding money 14 days, even though Discover Cars agreement clearly stated that it shall be revoked on returning day?
As of today, there is no pre-authorization on my American express card, just checked with them, but as mentioned above it should have been lufted directly on site in accordance to agreement.
UPDATE 25/4 2023 - NO ANSWERS ON MY QUESTIONS, WHICH PROVES BELOW ANSWER ON TRUSTPILOT WAS JUST A TRICK TO SHOW THAT THEY ACTUALLY CARE - WHICH INFACT THEY DONT.
MY ADVICE IS STILL TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY THAT HAVE SYSTEMIZED IN SCAMMING THEIR CUSTOMERS.
UPDATE 27/4 BEING A FRANSCHISE YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE THAT USE YOUR BRAND. THE STATEMENT THAT MY BANK DOES NOT RELEASE UNTIL 14 DAYS IS COMPLETELY FALSE. ALSO IT CLEARLY STATES THAT IT SHALL BE RELEASED ON RETURN, NORMALLY IT TAKES 2-4 DAYS AND NOT 14.
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR "INVESTIGATION " RESULTS IN.
MY ADVICE IS STILL TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY THAT HAVE SYSTEMIZED IN SCAMMING THEIR CUSTOMERS.
UPDATE 25/5 2023 STILL NO ASNWERS OR RESULTS OF THEIR "INVESTIGATION"
MY ADVICE IS STILL TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY THAT HAVE SYSTEMIZED IN SCAMMING THEIR CUSTOMERS.
