Unprofessional attitude…

I recently hired a car through VWFS Rent-a-Car Birmingham. In terms of the vehicle, pricing, and overall rental process, everything was excellent — no issues at all. The car was in great condition, the price was fair, and the booking system was straightforward.

However, my experience was let down by the staff’s unprofessional attitude. I had booked the car for 8:30 AM and arrived on time, but there was no one present from the rental department. The VW showroom staff didn’t acknowledge us, and when I asked at reception, I was told the rental team was from a different company and not in the office yet. After waiting around 20 minutes, the VWFS staff member eventually arrived. When I mentioned that I had booked for 8:30 and it was now 8:50, instead of acknowledging the delay, he defensively replied that due to paperwork, I wouldn’t have been able to take the car before 9 AM anyway. I found this response dismissive and unprofessional.

Overall, while the car and rental service itself were excellent, the customer service experience could be improved. A little more professionalism, punctuality, and acknowledgement of customer concerns would make the service truly outstanding.

Hello Shad,

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this feedback.

We are delighted to hear that you had an excellent rental service, but we want to apologise for falling short of your expectations during vehicle collection.

From time to time, we might not fully meet customer expectations but what matters is that we are able to work on this and improve.

Upon investigation, we have concluded that this interaction didn’t reflect our best practice and we have since put measures in place to prevent this experience from happening again in the future.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to provide us with this feedback and we hope to welcome you again in the future.

Regards,
VWFS Rent-a-Car

Unprofessional Conduct

I attended the branch to return a hire vehicle, and during this interaction, Mr. Hafeez was noticeably rude and unprofessional. He made an inappropriate remark suggesting that the car had a “funny smell” which was due to it not been cleaned prior to being handed over to me and that i would not be able to rent in the future due to something which is no fault of mine, This comment was uncalled for, especially as the smell was present before I had taken the vehicle. Rather than resolving the matter courteously, his tone and attitude made the experience uncomfortable and disappointing.

As a customer, I expected a higher standard of professionalism and basic courtesy from them.

Outstanding Service from Raheel

I needed to rent a car last minute due to having my alloys refurbished and being told I couldn’t drive my own car for 24 hours. Naturally, I was a little nervous about the whole process, especially with it being such short notice. But from the moment I contacted VW Rent a Car Birmingham, the experience was smooth and reassuring – thanks entirely to Raheel, the manager.

Raheel truly took the time to listen to my concerns and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. He found me a car that closely matched the spec and feel of my own Audi, which was incredibly thoughtful and made the transition effortless. I was given a Golf R-Line – an automatic, but with a very similar driving feel to my Audi – which made it not only easy to drive but also really enjoyable.

The car itself was immaculate, both inside and out. It genuinely felt like stepping into a brand-new vehicle, which gave me added confidence during the rental period. Booking was fast, easy, and efficient, and the whole process was handled professionally from start to finish.

I can’t thank Raheel enough for his attention to detail and customer care – he turned what could’ve been a stressful situation into a completely positive one. Highly recommend VW Rent a Car Birmingham and especially Raheel for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality service.

I don't normally leave reviews but this company stood out for me! I had a phenominal experience using vwfs rent a car birmingham on the 27th may 2025. I booked a vw arteon for a few days and recieved exceptional service from Raheel from start to finish. His level of customer service, mannerisms and technical knowledge really stood out for me and would highly recommend everyone to try it out!
The vehicle was spotless and clean inside with no odors which is always a plus side when it comes to renting cars.
Just wanted to say a special thank you to Raheel for the top service, i will definately be back!

One of the smoothest service for car rentals in Birmingham in my experience. They give you almost a brand new car at times and pretty cheap for the quality of service they provide.
