Complaints

At Countrywide Vehicle Rentals Limited, we place our customers at the centre of everything we do and work hard to provide you with the best possible service. However, if you are unhappy with any aspect of the service you have received from us, please let us know.

We will do everything we can to put things right. To help with this, we have a Complaints Procedure that you can use to make us aware of any problems you've had. The investigation into your complaint will be conducted fairly and promptly.

Our Complaints Procedure meets the requirements of the Claims Management Regulator.
