Green Motion Car and Van Rental is a global eco-friendly car and van rental franchise founded in 2007 in the United Kingdom. The brand was created to offer environmentally responsible vehicle rental solutions to leisure and business travelers.

From the beginning, Green Motion positioned itself as a sustainable alternative to traditional car rental companies. The company is headquartered in the UK and operates on an international scale.

Green Motion has operated as a franchise-based business since its early expansion. The brand uses a fully franchised and affiliate model, meaning all locations are locally owned and operated.

The franchise provides car and van rental services with a strong focus on low-emission and fuel-efficient vehicles. Its fleet typically includes compact cars, hybrids, electric vehicles, SUVs, and commercial vans.

Green Motion also integrates global booking platforms and travel partners to drive reservations. This helps franchisees compete effectively in both leisure and corporate rental segments.

Training

Green Motion provides franchisees with a comprehensive training system to prepare them for operating their business in compliance with system standards. The training programs include:

Initial Training Program: Franchisees and their principals must attend and complete the franchisor’s Initial Training Program, which may be conducted at headquarters, a franchised outlet, or virtually. There is no tuition fee for this program, but franchisees are responsible for all associated costs such as travel, lodging, and meals.
Additional Training: Green Motion may require franchisees to participate in up to five days of additional training per year, including national business meetings or conventions. While tuition for these sessions may be charged, franchisees must also bear incidental expenses, and failure to attend is considered a default of the franchise agreement.
Remedial and On-Site Training: Upon request or as deemed necessary by the franchisor, trained representatives may provide on-site remedial training at the franchisee's premises. Franchisees are required to pay a per diem fee for this service, along with all related travel and accommodation costs.
Ongoing Support and Consultation: Beyond scheduled programs, Green Motion offers consultation and assistance via in-person visits, phone, email, or video conferencing. This includes guidance on employee training, marketing, inventory, and operational issues, subject to availability of franchisor personnel.

Territory Protection

Green Motion grants franchisees the right to operate within a designated territory, which is determined individually based on criteria like population, airport deplanements, and number of households or businesses.

Within this territory, the franchisor agrees not to open or license other outlets using the Green Motion brand, provided the franchisee meets minimum performance standards and is not in default. This limited protection ensures that other franchisees under the same brand will not be placed within the assigned area during the term of the agreement.

However, Green Motion reserves broad rights that diminish the exclusivity of the territory. The franchisor and its affiliates can operate or license similar or competing businesses under different brands or trademarks within or outside the franchisee’s area.
