Very helpful and effective customer service

Kyle contacted me proactively to support me in updating my licence so that he was able to swap the car I had hired rather than just cancelling the existing booking. He was very customer focused and was able to sort the issue quickly and easily. Really great service!

Very Poor Service

Car had a flat tire which delayed my booking and then had to keep phoning customer service to unlock the vehicle. Evidently very poor systems that could not cope with issues. No refund offered and asked for compensation and was told this was not possible. Would NOT recommend.

Hi Simon, We're really sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been to face delays due to the flat tire. Our aim is always to provide a smooth and reliable service and we regret that we didn’t meet that standard in this instance.

I have reviewed your interactions with our customer service team and can see that our team were quick to switch you to a suitable vehicle so your journey could continue. As the booking went ahead, we are sorry that we were unable to offer a full refund and refund of your joining fee as requested.

Excellent customer service

My partner and I had a car booked and had to cancel last minute due to an emergency. We emailed to see if they'd refund us and they did it straight away. It was a huge relief during a stressful time. Generally, I find the help and support of customer services to be excellent, especially on the phone.

Have found co cars really easy to use. I only need a car about once a fortnight so it is a lot cheaper than having my own car. Customer service is excellent.

Really disappointed about this removing a co-wheel car close to our house without any communication. We joined Co-Wheel club because one car is very close to our house. We used it so often and now it is taken off without any notice. This makes us very uncomfortable.

Hi Lizzie, We are so sorry to hear that you are disappointed. We regularly review our locations and unfortunately, due to lower demand for this vehicle, it was relocated.
I have taken a look at your account and your next closest vehicle is just 0.27 miles away, with a total of 5 cars within 0.5 miles of you so we hope you can still continue to use your local vehicles in the area.

AI chatbot is acutally useful, and quick to pass you on to even better human customer care agents

Customer service are very responsive, helpful and clear when I have had issues. The AI feature in the chatbot is incredibly helpful if you have a direct question and is very quick to pass you on to a human agent. I chatted with Gareth twice, he was brilliant. I am yet to drive but I am confident that the service will work well once I am set up.

The car club works really well for us

The car club works really well for us, as we don't need a car full time. The staff have been lovely and very helpful whenever we have needed to talk to someone and do their best to resolve any problems quickly and effectively.

Excellent support while I'm unable to drive.

As I will be unable to drive for a few months, I asked about suspending or cancelling my account. Co-wheels offered a free account until I am able to resume driving. Brilliant!

Hi Helen,

Thanks for letting us know that the tyre pressure was low in this vehicle. While we check the cars as often as we can, we have no way of knowing if one of these lights comes on between checks unless a member tells us. If you do have any further instances of this happening, give us call and we'll see if we can swap you onto another vehicle.

I've found Co Wheels to be very effective in terms of customer service, when there is (occasionally) something goes wrong. Generally the car-sharing service they provide is very good, the cars are clean and I've never had a breakdown. The fees they charge are fair in my view.
