While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 40 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers report extremely poor customer service and non-existent communication, finding it difficult to reach anyone by phone or get a response to emails. People frequently mention issues with payment processing, including being quick to take money but slow to resolve problems, receiving repeated invoices, and incorrect charges. Reviewers also experienced significant problems with the leased vehicles themselves, such as cars not being fit for purpose, having electrical issues, warning lights, and various malfunctions like intermittent boot locks or faulty sensors. Customers are often left without a replacement vehicle despite extended repair times, and express frustration with the lack of accountability and clear resolution from the company. Some people also felt that there were inaccuracies recorded on their credit files, leading to further complications and stress.

THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY

THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF. STAY AWAY. THEY WILL MAKE UP INVOICES AND EXPECT YOU TO PAY FOR MADE UP CHARGES.
THEY WILL BLATANTLY LIE TO YOU AND THEN DENY IT. WHEN YOU ASK THEM TO LISTEN BACK TO THE TELEPHONE CALLS THEY WILL REFUSE BECAUSE IT PROVES THEIR LIES. THERE COMPANY VALUES ARE
1. LIE
2. MAKE UP CHARGES AND RIP CUSTOMERS OFF

I PAID THEM OVER £9000 AND THEY STILL JUST MAKING CHARGES UP .
THEY CLAIM TO HAVE A CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE DEPARTMENT WHICH IS A JOKE.THEY HAVE A CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE ADVISORS WHO CANT BE BOTHERED TO LISTEN AND CONTINUES THE COMPANY VALUES OF LYING
