Green Motion Franchise Overview

About Green Motion

Established in 2007 by UK entrepreneur Richard Lowden, Green Motion Car and Van hire offers its customers - both leisure and business - the opportunity to enjoy great value vehicle rental, while helping to reduce the impact of global CO2 emissions associated with road travel. 

Franchise History

In 2005, Richard Lowden, the founder and chairman of Green Motion vehicle rental, reacted to the global need to take genuine and positive action to play a part in reducing the effects of climate change and set about creating a vehicle rental company which is kinder to the environment. The concept of the organisation was very simple - to give its customers, both leisure/retail and business, the choice and opportunity to rent greener vehicles, thus reducing their CO2 emissions while benefiting from greater and improved fuel economy. In developing Green Motion, he identified a real niche in the vehicle hire and rent-a-car market to provide a greener alternative to customers. The original operations commenced trading in 2007 in the United Kingdom and despite the incredibly tough economic climate that prevailed.
