Whitney saved the day – incredible service from Co Wheels

I signed up for Co Wheels the day before my girlfriend’s birthday and ran into an issue with my verification. With plans already made, I was worried we’d have to cancel and that her birthday morning would be ruined.

Whitney from customer service was absolutely amazing. She jumped in straight away, fast tracked my verification within minutes, and kept me updated the whole time. What could’ve been a stressful evening turned into a huge relief thanks to her.

Because of Whitney’s help, everything went perfectly and I’ll now be using Co Wheels exclusively going forward. It’s rare to find customer service like that – she genuinely saved the day

Easy booking and great support

I used the service for a few months and found it very easy to set up and book cars. I had to call support once as a car wouldn't start - a nearby replacement was found immediately and another time to change my subscription - very quick to respond and sort out.

Brilliant support!

The support staff for Co Wheels are an awesome bunch. They're quick to respond and helped me sort out issues with my account. Gives me a lot of confidence to stick with Co Wheels as my preferred car club. Shoutout to Bobbie-leigh, she was amazing!

I used Co-Wheels for around three months and the service was generally fine at first.

Then I received a PCN that I wanted to dispute. Instead of giving me the chance to challenge it, Co-Wheels charged me a £25 “admin fee” and then took the full PCN amount directly from my account. I only got one email about this (which went to junk), and when I called twice to get clarity, I got no proper explanation.

Overall, really poor customer service and no resolution offered. I won’t be using them again.

Hi Nathan,

We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your latest experience. I have looked into this and can see you were contacted by our Customer Service agent on 11th October.

As per this email, the administration fee is charged to your account immediately. This is eligible for refund if you choose to appeal the PCN, and the appeal is successful. To appeal the Penalty charge notice, you would need to follow the process detailed on the PCN in the email you received. You must inform us of your wish to appeal and if it is not successful, payment of the PCN will be your responsibility. Please inform us if your appeal is successful, as you will be eligible to have your £25 administration fee refunded.

Helpful customer service

Left wallet in car, was able to ring at 7am on a Sunday morning and have them unlock it for me.

Generally, cars always in good condition, very handy.

Nothing but praise for CW

Nothing but praise for CW. After two years membership any problem sorted out by a helpful team . Good choice of new cars in my town. I'm a pensioner and the great bonus is there is no age limit. I would recommend these guys any day. D Harding

Excellent service

My partner and I decided to give up our car and join CoWheels. Their customer service has been excellent — always polite, efficient, and friendly. We’ve been really pleased with the support they provide whenever we need it.

Hi Nestor,

We are so sorry to hear that you were rejected. Looking at the information, we can see that you were rejected due to the licence pictures you provided being blurry. You would have received an email from us stating that you needed to resupply the images to continue with your application. If you still wish to continue, you can reupload the images in the driver profile section of your account.

Being held liable for a missing cable

Being held liable for a missing charging cable even though I stated it wasn't in the boot of the vehicle!
Despite stating I plugged in the vehicle using my own personal charging cable the fleet team decided I should be held responsible regardless!
Now my account has been suspended till I pay £99 for a new cable and the ridiculous £25 admin scam fee on top!
Safe to say I won't be using "crap" wheels again after the way I've been treated!

I will also not be paying any fees as I refuse to accept liability for the missing charging cable!

Hi Reynard,

We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience during your last booking. Having looked into this and having reviewed your conversation and phone calls with our customer service team, you will be liable for this charge.

We would be happy to provide the recordings of the calls you had with our team. There was no mention in these calls that you used your own cable to attempt to charge the car, yet we can see that the vehicle was plugged in for 1 minute at the end of your booking. We have sent this evidence to you via email.

Kind regards,
Rebecca
