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.
