They never answer the phone when you press option 1. Instead it goes to answer phone. And when you leave voicemails they dont contact you back. When you press another option they tell you to call back and press option 1 because that is apparently the right department but it doesnt even exist

Horrendous

Lack of Communication, delayed paperwork.
We have had ongoing problems for months and have been passed from one person to another and been told that our problems have been escalated to someone higher, each time we have been requested to send email trails and still nothing was sorted, vehicles were constantly off the road and there has been one problem after another.

Vehicle hire with VMS Tiverton branch…

The customer service at the Tiverton branch was excellent. We were really pleased with the very competitive cost and quality of the vehicle we hired and how easy it was to deal with the documentation required along with the collecting of and delivering the vehicle back. We would definitely use this company again.

Reply from VMS Vehicle Hire

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. We pride ourselves on the quality of our vehicles and we would like to investigate this internally to discover how vehicles that were not road worthy were used. Can you please tell us which branch you hired the vehicle from please? If you could please email deborah.briggs@vmsvehiclehire.co.uk with this information, she can investigate further. Many thanks, VMS

VMS - ABSOLUTELY FIRST RATE SERVICE

Used VMS (previously Western Truck Hire) many times and the service has always been absolutely first rate. Always accommodated our needs, competitive prices, highly efficient and genuinely a first rate service. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

First time customer

I recently hired a van at very short notice from VMS Bridgend.
Throughout the whole process the staff were helpful, friendly and professional, reasonable rates too..
I would definitely use them again and recommend them highly.
Thank you

Friendly service

Thorough pre checks, no issues. Good value for money, with better than average mileage allowance. Out of office returns, which is always a bonus. Have used before and will use again.

Fantastic service from start to finish

Fantastic service from start to finish. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very reasonable prices. Would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend. Have hired from lots of different companies before this was by far the best all round.
