Green Motion is proud to announce the opening of its newest UK location at London Southend Airport, with in-terminal car rental services bringing enhanced convenience, affordability, and quality to travellers and locals alike.

Whether flying in for business, escaping to the coast, or needing a local rental, customers can now enjoy affordable, high-quality vehicles with pick-up and drop-off just steps from the arrivals area.

“We’re delighted to drive this partnership forward with Green Motion – literally! This new addition gives passengers even more flexibility when planning their trip to the UK and offers our local community a much-needed, convenient car rental option without the hassle of travelling further afield,” said Caroline Fitzgerald, Commercial Director at London Southend Airport.

Located in Southend-on-Sea, the airport offers direct access to one of the UK’s most iconic seaside towns — home to sandy beaches, the world’s longest pleasure pier, and unforgettable coastal walks. With Green Motion now on site, exploring the region has never been easier.

This new airport location is operated by experienced franchisees Matt Jones and Sean Lahiffe, who have successfully grown the Green Motion operation at London Stansted Airport. Their focus on reliable service and smooth customer experiences will now benefit travellers flying through Southend.

The launch was marked with the handover of the very first rental, as Green Motion officially welcomed its first customer at the new Southend Airport terminal location — a major milestone for the brand and the airport alike.

            “We’re thrilled to expand into London Southend Airport and bring our trusted service to passengers and customers across Essex, while becoming a valued part of the local community,” said Matt Jones, Franchise Owner at Green Motion.  “Having a presence at LSA strengthens our growing network and gives customers more choice when it comes to renting high-quality, affordable vehicles. We’re excited to build on our success at Stansted and deliver the same great experience at Southend.”

Richard Lowden, Founder and CEO of Green Motion, shared his excitement for the brand’s continued momentum: “Our expansion into London Southend Airport marks another exciting step forward for Green Motion. This launch not only cements our position as one of the UK’s leading rental companies from a domestic perspective, but also represents a major milestone as our first in-terminal presence in the country. We’re proud to be growing our footprint in the UK and to offer outstanding service to even more customers. This partnership with LSA reflects our commitment to providing affordable, eco-friendly car rental options to travellers across the country.”

With a fleet that includes everything from city-friendly compacts to family-sized vehicles, Green Motion at London Southend Airport makes car rental easier and more accessible for all types of travellers.

The in-terminal facility is now fully operational and ready for bookings.
