Rent a car VW-Taylor

Taylor was so helpful in sorting out a hire car for us whilst ours in for repair. We had dropped off our vehicle and was away in the hire car within 50 mins. She explained everything clearly, went through the process with us and handed over the vehicle with excellent explanation of its controls thank you

Great Service Friendly & Efficient

Taylor and Jacob were very helpful as we needed a car at short notice for a trip to France.
Our car had developed a gearbox problem and we had a memorial service in France to get to with 3 days notice.
Taylor and Jacob were great with emails and phone calls to confirm details and even an upgrade. Price was better by far compared to other car hire companies and included all the usual caveats. The EU car hire / green card delayed us by a few joyrs but Jacob had us sorted in time to catch the ferry.
If we needed to hire a car again VWFS/Johnsons would be our choice.

Vehicle hire

Having booked well in advance I was very disappointed by not being able to obtain the vehicle of choice. However; whilst the vehicle supplied was adequate for my needs it was not as ordered.
Both Taylor and Jacob exceeded my customer service expectations during the initial hire and return phases. Very well done to both of them. Having used the VW Solihull branch over some years I can certainly recommend both the employees and the service provided to others. Here’s to my next hire requirement and the provision of the required vehicle.

Never rent a car from here!!!

Never rent a car from here!!!
They will look for any minor blemish on the car when you return it even a little stone chip on the paintwork that might occur by by motorway debris or other debris in roads.
I was not given any warning about this otherwise I would not have taken the car. The chip was as big as a 20p coin. And they took £80 from my deposit. Absolute con.
Avoid this place

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

At VWFS Rent-a-Car, we always do our best to make sure customers are made aware of chargeable damages before renting one of our vehicles.

Liability for damages is outlined in our rental terms and conditions, as agreed to when customers sign their Rental Agreement with us.

We are always looking to create positive rental experiences for our customers and it is disappointing to hear that this wasn't the case when you rented with us.

We have taken the time to investigate this with the location and have reiterated the importance of further explaining damages as part of our T&Cs.

Jacob provided a quality service

My review is about my experience with Jacob who was responsible for organising a courtesy car. From the outset he was very efficient, knowledgeable and extremely polite. What mattered most to me was his manner, he clearly understood my needs and went out of his way to explain the essential information I needed for the replacement vehicle. Excellent customer service thank you Jacob

Great service, great car

Taylor dealt with us in a super professional manner. The process was so easy. The fact that we didn’t have a credit card was not an issue, we just used our debit card. The cost was cheaper than Enterprise. The car was clean with only 6000 miles on it

Great service from Taylor and Jacob

The service from this branch ch has been great.
We used to use a competitor, however the service and pricing will mean that we will be using VW from now on!
Just want to say a thank you to Jacob and Taylor who made the whole process seamless from start to finish, even when I needed to make a change.

Amazing service will return

Was met by Jacob who was very lovely and made the whole experience smooth and easy. My car was no longer in stock so he gave an alternative which was an upgrade. Everything was explained clearly and I will definitely be recommending to friends and family.
