Receptionist was great, ended there.

Receptionist was great, Car wasn't what I would call clean, they charged me twice, which took over a week to sort out, I've chasing for my invoice for 12 days now.

The customer service is the best I have encountered for a long time.
I asked to extend the originally agreed rental duration and the friendliness and excellence of the staff involved was absolutely fantastic.
I will certainly be back and highly recommend VWFS to everyone.
Thank you very very much.

I have used this hire service several…

I have used this hire service several times @JCB Ashford and always had a professional and effortless service. I was never disappointed.
Unfortunately this time Carol is no longer working at JCB Ashford. I eventually received my hired vehicle that was dirty inside and out and with documents inside of glove compartment from previous hire. I also had to clean the inside of windscreen to drive safely at night - due to a smeary windscreen. It also had a low tyre pressure amber warning light on the dashboard, the tyre required inflating on more than one occasion during my hire. On the return of the vehicle and after vehicle inspection from staff I was informed by several staff that no documents are available for me to confirm returned vehicle is of satisfactory condition.
After some time Wayne Henry who is the after sales manager produced a document and copy for me to sign, confirming the vehicle has been returned to satisfactory condition, Before informing me that we must cut-ties and I am no longer welcome to use any VW services at JCB Ashford.

Why replace a competent member of staff with an online system?

The start of the hirer was perfect as always swift and professional service from Carol, the return due to Carol no longer being employed was a mess. Noone seem to know what they were doing and who was responsible for what. Even when I was told I could return the vehicle of Sunday I was met with confusion. Now apparently this service is all online what a shame, it will make me think twice about using it again.

I contacted Carol at Ashford Office from Australia by phone and she was so friendly and helpful- she provided all information for us to hire on our arrival. The car hire was great and very competitive and because Carol provided a really personal service that the online ones don't- made me feel comfortable. Carol has outstanding customer service skills and seems to really value her customers and the entire experience was enjoyable. We will use again and recommend wholeheartedly. Thank you Carol!

Extended ID.4 Test Drive

I wanted to experience the ID4 more than the usual test drive, I came across VWFS “rent a car” located at JCB Volkswagen. Carol was very helpful and attentive with the booking from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed the car for the week and would consider getting one myself after this experience. Thank you Carol!

The most welcoming and helpful atmosphere I have ever received. Great price, excellent coverage with no worries, and no hassle. I will forever recommend over Enterprise who is well below in quality and service.

Amazing hassle free car hire

Dealing with Carol at VWFS rent-a-car was a pleasure. I have always used enterprise in the past but this time they was beaten on price by VWFS and I can honestly say they was beaten on customer service! I can’t thank Carol enough for making it so hassle free and accommodating I will definitely be contacting her again if we need a vehicle, she is a real credit to the company! 5 star service

Outstanding service

I have been using VWFS Rent-a-Car (Ashford) on a regular basis for a couple of years now and Carol has always provided an outstanding, friendly and helpful service and experience. They offer by far the best value with everything included when booking.
