It was ReduceMyExcess who were excluding Green Motion ...
NB that Green Motion have a mileage limit of 100 miles per day. It looks like if you book through Ace Rent A Car (who use Green Motion and seem to have even worse reviews) then you get 200 mpd, and some of their pricing is different (eg compact/Focus from 31/07 to 16/08 is £419 while Green Motion direct want £559).
(For the same time period you could get an Octavia from Europcar in Slough for £711 or a compact for £660. If the difference is a hundred quid, I might be tempted by that.)
(I'm getting too absorbed in this - ain't displacement activity wonderful ...)

Thanks, can't see any exclusion with insurance4carhire.com which I use for excess insurance. Guess I'll be picky at collection and then give it a thorough checking over before returning. I did have to use T-cut on last year's rental to get some cosmetic scuffs out of the paintwork (due to Cornish roadside hedges), didn't hear back from them (but it was Budget last time, and booked via Avios).
I'm already getting this one from Heathrow to help reduce the cost (I'm in SW15).
(Also a bit galling that a two week rental car is going to cost pretty much the same as our existing car costs to run for a whole year, including fuel.)
