Hello,

Thank you for your patience whilst we took the time to investigate the below with our team at Bury St Edmunds.

Unfortunately, on this occasion, the exact vehicle you had originally booked wasn't available on the date of your collection. Our team contacted you prior to collection to explain this and discuss an alternative vehicle. Based on our records, an alternative was agreed before you arrived, and the vehicle was subsequently accepted and signed for at collection.

We completely understand that not receiving the exact vehicle you expected can be frustrating, particularly when we pride ourselves on doing our best to help customers get the model they book. While we were pleased to be able to provide an alternative and ensure your journey could continue, we're sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations.

Your feedback has been shared with our Regional Sales & Operations team so we can review and ensure any vehicle substitutions continue to be communicated as clearly as possible to ensure customers have all the information they need before collecting their vehicle.

Thank you,
VWFS Rent-a-Car

The vehicle was well presented and awaiting my collection. It was a very low mileage car with many features that I had not expected.

Drove a 2025 Volkswagen polo

Drove a 2025 Volkswagen polo, great little car! My kids love it too. I like the lane assist and the stop-start system of the car. Mike of Bury and Shannon of Ipswich were both helpful on the paperworks process and all the things I needed to know about the rental. I am one happy renter here!

Excellent service and good value for money.

Hired a car in a hurry to visit a relative. Ailsa at Bury St Edmunds was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. The price quoted was very reasonable and I would not hesitate to use this service again.

Thank you Ailsa.

Smooth and Helpful Process

Arranged the rental with Paul at the Ipswich branch who was, as always really helpful, and he arranged a car for me to collect from Bury St Edmunds, my home town.
Collected the car without problem, and the handback was very easy too. All staff very helpful and polite, which is what you would expect from a VW dealer.

VW Touran 7 seat rental experience

Albeit the VW Touran 7 seat petrol automatic we hired was a superb car and met our needs completely the process of pick up and drop off left a lot to be desired. On arrival to pick up we went to the designated rental desk to be told it had moved to another building altogether due to new company process. Going to the next door premises the receptionist greeted us and asked how she could help. Telling her we had come to pick up a rental car we were told to go back to the original desk as they knew nothing about it.Eventually we went back to the same area where they found someone who would help but only having minimal training in the process had to make phone calls to get help.l was then asked for driving licence and national insurance number to clarify licence status. After what seemed an awfully long time we concluded and drove away. On returning the car at the alloted date and time there was again nobody there to help.The receptionist did make a call and after a while l asked her how long because I had to get someone to the station to which l was asked what time, l retorted somewhat sharply that was irrelevant. Again after quite a wait someone came along and finished off the hire even though another phone call needed to be made as he had not done this before .l will use you again should the need arise and hopefully next time staff will be properly trained in procedures. Thank you.

Excellent overall

Excellent overall. Really reasonable rates compared to others and fabulous customer service. Couple of minor quibbles, I rented the vehicle with the petrol on empty, not great as it's very difficult to return the car on empty. A manual would have been nice as during the months rental several lights appeared on the dash that I had no idea about. That said I called the number on the documentation and they were excellent with their help and assistance even on a bank holiday. The staff at the rental office were top notch! Wouldn't hesitate to hire a car from them again. Thanks so much!
