want to hire a car - dont go anywhere else

from start to finish the process was fantastic and easy, this is the 2nd time we have rented a car from VWFS

prices are so good and top quality car

emails with all info and friendly person at desk

i rented the car as im interested in buying one so this was perfect to test over 4 days that a 30 minute forecourt test drive doesnt give you, £30 a day is nothing

price, booking service, return so easy

Highly Recommended

Everything about my experience with VWFS Rental was excellent. The car was great (and it was very refreshing to actually know in advance what car we'd get) and Thomas couldn't have been more helpful. This will be our go-to place for car rental from now on.

The booking procedure was flawless

The booking procedure was flawless. The price was great for the car, I was genuinely really happy with the service I received. Forget the other car rental places, VW pullman is the way forward.

Excellent Service, Will Definitely Use Again

Excellent service from VWFS Rent A Car at Pulman Sunderland.

I hired a 75-plate Volkswagen Passat for 12 days and was extremely impressed, both with the car itself and how reasonable the price was. The Passat was a pleasure to drive and a complete change from some of the cars I’ve had in the past from the larger rental companies.

The whole process was straightforward from start to finish, and the staff were friendly, professional and genuinely helpful. The level of service was second to none.

It also makes a refreshing change to be able to hire a new model car that is clean, well presented and enjoyable to drive, rather than simply being given whatever happens to be available.

Having used the main car rental companies in the past, I’ll now be sticking with VWFS Rent A Car at Pulman Sunderland for any future car hire.

Highly recommended.

Rented VW Transported to go to the EU region

I have been renting from VWFS Rent-a-Car - Colindale for about 2 years.
The service has been amazing and staffs are very helpful.

Best park I like about renting here is, the cars they give are almost brand new. This time i got a brand new Transporter with moon roof.. absolutly amazing and loved driving it.

We went to the EU from the UK. totalled to about 1100 miles in 4 days.. drive was never tiring..

Amazing service, 100% recommend ..
