Green Motion opened a car and van rental location at the Northampton Central Railway Station in the UK in May.
The franchise location will be able to assist all visiting London Midland customers, as well as local Northampton business and leisure customers.
“Having reviewed a number of franchised opportunities I decided to work with Green Motion as it is a business model that makes a difference to customers and the environment,” said one of the owners and Green Motion Northampton Director Rob Higgins. “We are honored to be providing Green Motion’s service to customers in Northamptonshire and the surrounding area.”
