Review of VWFS Rent-a-Car
As I don't have a car of my own at present, I hired a '? koda Octavia from Citygate in Slough through VWFS Rent-a-Car for a long weekend visiting friends in Sheffield and the surrounding area.I chose the location as it was convenient for me to get to and I'd always taken my Octavia to Citygate for servicing when I owned one and never had any issues. They also quoted a better rate than firms closer to home.The car was spotless and Waseem walked me through the key features, some of which had changed between my previous Mk3 and the Mk4 I hired. The car had half a tank of petrol when I picked it up and the round trip used a little over a full tank.The only minor niggle I had was that the car was a plug-in hybrid, but the hybrid battery wasn't charged when I picked it up. For some unknown reason, it was also configured in "low speed" charging mode, so it took roughly eight and a half hours to fully charge on what would normally be a 7.4kW charger.That aside, I'd definitely rent from VWFS Rent-a-Car Slough again in the future, given the model you book is the model you get rather than something they class as "similar" like you get from other companies.
