Great service

Great service, car was immaculate and shown all the features. Steve from the Durham VW Pullman branch served me, he was amazing and helped me extend the dates. Would certainly use again.

First class service with very competitive pricing. I rented a van for moving home. The process from begining to end was very straightforward and the team were able to assist when I had questions that were out of the ordinary. I had no idea that vehicles were rented from this site let alone vans. We will definitely use you again.

Exceptional Service, Great Vehicles – Highly Recommend!

We recently returned to VWFS Rental due to our excellent prior experience, and once again, they exceeded all expectations. From the very start, the level of customer service was exceptional.

Sarah went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, even arranging for us to collect the car close to where we were staying, which made things incredibly convenient. Dominic continued the trend with his friendly and warm approach, making us feel truly valued as customers.

The VW Tiguan Allspace we rented was perfect—spacious, packed with great features, and ideal for accommodating my parents and their mobile scooter. The car was a pleasure to drive and suited our needs perfectly.

Pricing was competitive, and the overall experience was fantastic. We highly recommend the team and their vehicles and will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you, VWFS Rental, for making our trip so easy and enjoyable!

Hi,

On Saturdays, our Durham location is open from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Vehicles must therefore be returned prior to that time.

If you'd like to make a reservation then please visit our website www.vwfsrentacar.co.uk. You could also speak with one of the Rental Managers on phone at 0191 206 9604 or by email at rental@pulmangroup.co.uk. They would be pleased to help you with your reservation and any additional enquiries.

Kind Regards,
VWFS Rent-a-Car

The best rent a car I’ve ever used!

I’ve used rent a car Atleast 5 times over the last year due to car troubles or needing extra seats for family trips. Steve & Sarah have always been absolutely amazing, always help out with anything I needed, helped me pick the right car for what I needed/when I needed it, always let me know the terms & if I could extend if needed, super informative & of course made us feel so comfortable, like we were part of the family. Sarah even dropped me a text message to make sure everything was okay and asking if I needed to extend when my car was in the garage. Couldn’t praise them both enough. Not to mention the amazing selection of cars they have to offer, all brand new, amazingly clean and maintained, we’ve never had an issue with any of the cars we’ve had from VW Durham & we’d always use their services first when we need to hire a car.

So rude before I’ve even bought the car, so walked away.

Have been trying to arrange to see a specific car and colour that this branch of VW apparently has. No call back that was promised. Eventually spoke to a very rude young sounding man who aggressively challenged my reasoning for the enquiry.So glad I’m not getting my car from this branch of VW.

Hi Sam,

Thank you for notifying us of your experience. However, we have investigated this, and it appears this matter concerns the Volkswagen car sales department. VWFS Rent-a-Car is the car rental department. We have forwarded your complaint to the correct department for further investigation.

Thank you,
VWFS Rent-a-Car

Fantastic experience all round

Fantastic experience all round! I believe the gentleman was Steve who called not long after booking (which was only the day before I needed it) who advised there was an issue with vehicle I booked but another would be arranged. Fast & efficient when picking up vehicle & the same with drop off with refund issued quickly for the deposit. Would definitely recommend

Renting a car was actually easy and cheap!

Easy to book, website works well, good payment options, nothing hidden or in tiny print, great prices, golf that I had was almost new and faultless. Experience in the office was just the same, Sarah was friendly and efficient and it was all very hassle-free. I would highly recommend this rental service. Superb.

My experience of using VWFS Rent-a-Car…

My experience of using VWFS Rent-a-Car was entirely positive. I used the Durham branch and was delighted that the customer service - which receives so much praise on Trustpilot - was as good as people claim. The vehicle I rented was well-priced, clean and in excellent condition (I was the second person to rent that particular vehicle). I would not hesitate to use VWFS again.

Great service

Great service, very easy to book and staff were helpful and pleasant. Van was available for collection as agreed with sufficient diesel in the tank ready for use, all I had to do was replace the diesel I had used on the day of return.
Would definitely use again and recommend.
