Green Motion scam at Tirana airport
Hello,
I returned from a week-long trip to Albania on April 19, 2026.
Beware, do not book with GREEN MOTION under any circumstances.
Upon arrival at the Tirana airport agency, the agent made a mistake and told me my card wasn't working (I should mention that I had previously booked with the same card through GREEN MOTION without any problems).
The only solution to pick up the vehicle was to purchase additional insurance for €120, which I refused.
I received a call from a supposed manager who suggested adding my wife as a second driver so we could use our joint card.
Having no other option, I paid an additional €60 (doubling the rental cost).
At the vehicle pick-up, there was no joint inspection.
I was asked to take photos of the vehicle, which I did.
Upon returning the car, realizing the scam was coming, I temporarily blocked my card remotely. Sure enough, three guys started inspecting my car from every angle.
After 5 minutes, one of them told me the car was dirty and tried to extort money from me…
I decided to leave the agency without arguing.
Today, I received an email with photos of damage that aren't photos of my vehicle—easy for them, they have plenty of similar cars.
So I immediately blocked my credit card, hoping not to be charged. (Nothing so far).
Clearly, these guys are thugs, and there's no proof they work for GREEN MOTION.
ALSO IN ALBANIA, NEVER RENT FROM GREEN MOTION.
