Car rental company offers solution to stranded air passengers

Green Motion Car Rental, in response to the Scandinavian volcano eruption crisis, is offering an innovative solution to assist airline customers trapped here in the United Kingdom trying to return to mainland Europe and those trapped in Europe trying to get back to the United Kingdom.

The company is offering the opportunity for individuals to take a one-way hire from the United Kingdom to the European destination of their choice. Green Motion is then allowing individuals that wish to return to the United Kingdom the opportunity to hire the vehicle on the return journey (repatriating the car to the United Kingdom).

The Founder and Managing Director of Green Motion, Richard Lowden, said “Green Motion has been inundated with one-way requests from the UK to mainland Europe – our issue is organising for the vehicles to be repatriated to the country and hearing on the news of the amount of stranded airline passengers this seemed to be the ideal solution to get customers home.”

Richard went on to say “We’re keen to spread the word across Europe as we need to get in touch with those individuals that wish to return to the UK. We’re undertaking localised press releases, contacting the various International consulates and even spreading the word via Twitter, Facebook and online blogs.”

In addition, the company is also offering the opportunity to have car hire with an accompanied driver (to bring the car to the United Kingdom).

Those customers interested in the offer are asked to contact Green Motion’s Central Reservations on (Customers calling from the UK) on: 03338884000; (Customers calling from overseas) on: 00442033285620 or alternatively email reservations[at]greenmotion.com
