Couldn’t fault anything. This was our second time renting a campervan through VWFS, and once again everything was perfect. Gary and Barry were fantastic from start to finish, even arranging for the va... See more

Really nice experience!

We did the booking for Kodiaq for 5 days this Easter holidays. It was a really great experience with VWFS Rent a Car. The condition of the car was exceptional, would love to book again for the next holidays! :)

Very good service

Straight forward reservation process, best price I found in the market for a 7 seater, car in very good condition, just as advertised. Only downside is that they need to update the website as accounts and online payment systems are not working properly, and that’s why I needed to pay the remaining payment on the day my rent started. Definitely recommend, and will be renting from here again.

Typical car rental company.

Very pleasant chap behind the desk working in the office. Unfortunately he was working alone and on a very lengthy phone call with the police when I arrived regarding a missing rental car and customer. This ich meant I was waiting much longer than I would have expected to be seen if he was supported by a second colleague.

Contary to the Volkswagen Financial Services marketing claims, the car model I booked was not available so was offered an alternative. Apparently 99.9% of customers get the choice of car they booked. Incredible odds the first time I use this company I'm in the unlucky .1%, I should remember to buy an Omaze lottery ticket.

The accepted alternative car smelled badly of smoke from a previous customer, I was assured the car had been cleaned but still traces of ash on the dashboard remained..

I rate this car rental company no better than a typical car rental experience.

The chap I saw behind the desk I rate highly for his courtesy and plesant manners to customers.

Hi Pasqualino, thank you for the feedback and we are sorry to hear about your experience. We have spoken to the location about this issue they have assured us the car was thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with air freshener before your rental, but unfortunately sometimes the smoke smell tends to imbed itself in the fabric interiors.

Regarding not receiving the Skoda Fabia you had booked, we apologise for the inconvenience caused this was unfortunately out of our hands. As an apology for this the location were able to gave you a free upgrade to a Skoda Scala.

Quick, easy & hassle free (Slough)

Have always used EuropCar UK, but in an online comparison this came up as not only the cheaper option but the better car. I did have some trouble as they had my email wrong and I called from overseas to correct it but somehow I still didn't receive a confirmation. I made a point of noting the booking reference though so it was super quick and easy once I arrived to check in. The car was new and in great condition. The process was simple and hassle free. I will definitely book with them again (Slough).

Friendly & Efficient Service

Friendly & Efficient Service. Waseem explained all the T&Cs & took time to show how things worked on the car. Equally as professional when I returned the car. Would recommend using this company & having a Waseem on hand!

Exceptional service

Exceptional service! I love this car rental company! I use it for business and private hire for 2 years now. Best prices and service in the area. But the best part of experience is Waseem who runs the Slough Branch! He always goes above and beyond and provides excellent customer service. I would strongly recommend VWFS Rent a Car to everyone in UK.

Excellent experience

I have now been renting form slough on numerous occasions for the last 5 months, every time there has been no hassles. The cars are new and well turned out.
I do prefer a full to full fuel policy but that is a real first world problem.
Overall thoroughly recommended great value and service.

Thank you Waseem.

Needed 7 seater for weekend

Needed 7 seater for weekend, for larger family trip. Easy to book online. Much better value for money than the normal hire companies I've used. Pick up and drop off process were really easy and smooth.

It stank of smoke

It stank of smoke and when i raised this at the time of pick up, the response was ' that happens sometimes and we cant stop people smoking in the car. It's in the fabric. Hard to get it out.". Unfortunately i was on a schedule so had no time to discuss. They could not offer me anything else. I cut down my rental from 2 weeks to 6 days. They only charged me 50% of the days i used. However this SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. This car should not have gone out to rental unless it states 'smokers car'. They resolved it (barely) but only because i called twice and complained and said I wanted to escalate. If there are no issuse, its fine as this is my second rental from them. I will also look into other companies to rent from.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave us this feedback. We’re sorry that the vehicle wasn’t up to standard on this occasion and for any inconvenience caused. We always try to accommodate our customers where possible. After liaising with the location, we can see from our records that the team did try to organise a replacement vehicle for you and also offer an alternative vehicle too. We appreciate your custom and hope you consider using us again in the future.

You wont confuse good service with the good cars

You wont confuse the experience with the excellent, new cars you can expect for rental from the car salesroom attached.

First time you pick up bring loads of proof of address. Your confirmation email tell you what to bring with you. It wont mention more documents for proof of address you will need if this is your first time at this outlet.

The check in guy was unhelpful to the point of rudeneess about what is acceptable as proof of address. A discussion will ensue about what is proof of address and a valid driver's licence is NOT enough.

Express an alternative point of view and get a surly contradiction (in my case unfactual).

Make a trust pilot comment tand get an irrelevant and illogical reply (I left my licence at home).

Hi Steve, thanks for your feedback. The Slough branch have informed us that due to you being unable to provide an in-date driver’s license they were not able to give you the vehicle due to the polices we have to follow. We do apologise for this inconvenience, thanks.

I love the cars and outstanding customer service they offer

I love the cars they offer. They only offer new cars.
But the main reason I go there is because of the level of customer services. It is out of this world. Waseem and Gary, love you both. Without you guys I can't think of Slough VWFS. Many thanks for your service.
See you soon.
