Written by the company

elmo is an electric car subscription service on a mission to help everyone switch to an electric car...

Book online in 5 minutes, get verified in 24 hours and have an EV delivered to your door in just a few days (subject to availability)

  • Electric car hire
  • Comprehensive insurance
  • Maintenance and Servicing
  • Breakdown cover
  • Vehicle Excise Duty
  • Congestion charge
  • We can also help with charging both at home and on the road. Head over to our website to find out more.

    Elmo are truly very good!

    I subscribed to an EV for 60 days - I can recommend this as a very practical way to find out if EVs work for you. Everything was slick, professional and friendly from sign up to delivery to dealing with questions along the way and returning the car. All done online or by email and everyone I conversed with were clearly passionate about customer service. My account ran smoothly thanks to Kayla. I am so pleased I used the Elmo service and would thoroughly recommend them.

    Disappointing Elmo Experience

    Very disappointed with the experience from start to finish. From the car delivery not going to plan to delayed collection after having me lose a full working day and awful communication with multiple unhelpful staff members through the shared email system. Excessive charging for additional mileage at end of subscription. Multiple complaints ignored and delayed escalated complaints response and resolution. Will escalate this to BVLA as unacceptable customer service!

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, your feedback is so important to us.

    We are so sorry if you have experienced anything less than positive with us. We can see that a member of our team has since been in touch to address your concerns internally and our dedicated team have been assisting you with your excess mileage costs.

    We would need to advise that the excess mileage cost is clearly outlined in your contract and has been applied accordingly with your usage calculated at the end of your subscription.

    Moving forward, we will continue to work towards a resolution.

    Great company so far

    Staff are friendly, I ordered a car, gave them money and then a week later a car arrived on time 😁

    This experience is far more straightforward than any experience I’ve had financing a car by a mile!

    No 8 month wait, no contact phone calls and just no hassle.

    Their prices are extremely competitive compared to other subscription companies aswell.

    Exceptional customer service from Elmo

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional customer service from Elmo. From the moment I enquired to signing up, I was greeted with warm hospitality and friendly service. The team went above and beyond to ensure that my car was available sooner, answering all of my questions and providing me with regular updates on the status of my vehicle.

    I was particularly impressed with the level of professionalism displayed by the team that delivered the car. They took the time to thoroughly explain the important things, and they made sure that I was completely satisfied with the car before they left.
    I would highly recommend Elmo for all your automotive needs. Thank you to everyone at Elmo, for making my experience a pleasant one!

    Great service

    Great service. We required a bespoke letter for our local Council where my wife works as a doctor to get a permit and Nimco from Elmo sorted it all out for us quickly and expeditiously. It’s not always possible to get what you need when the request is unusual and out of the ordinary so credit to Nimco and Elmo for obliging.

    Would surely recommend Elmo if u r looking to hire or try EVs before u buy
    Note: subscription has a min 60 day lock-in period & charges to deliver/ collect vehicles. Also do workout if the range/charging costs for the EV you choose works for you.

    Car delivered - Great delivery guy (Luca) and post delivery service (Asif)

    Car delivered - Everything was perfect.

    Special shout out to Luca, the delivery driver, really professional, arrived early in the morning, at the stated time. Was thorough in explaining all the features and doing the pre-delivery check, very polite and patient with my questions.

    Also, special mention and grateful for Asif in the post delivery time, later on the delivery day I downloaded the Peugeot app, needed the chassis number (the one on the windscreen wouldn’t work), I called up and during the call we got cut off, Asif called back with all the information I needed so I could sync the app and car.

    Reasha from customer experience is brilliant

    Reasha is brilliant, spoken to her a few times now and the service has been brilliant. (No one at Elmo knows I am writing this in advance) I am about to go onto my 3rd car, (ID3, MG5 and now 2008) and the whole thing has been very pleasant.

    I looked at couple of competitors and one of them was awful, and let me down at the last minute. So their loss is Elmo's gain.

    It's not cheap but as overall package I think it is very good value. Plus everyone answering the phone seems to care and it shows.

    I needed a car at short notice

    I needed a car at short notice due to having to return my company car (and a delay with my replacement)

    Elmo's 60 day lease terms were much better than hiring for that term and more flexible than longer leases. Jade from customer services picked up queries on chat or phone really quickly and gave the answers I needed.

    The car arrived as expected and the handover was really thorough. The lady who delivered the car was so good - a real credit to the company.

    Bunch of liars…

    Bunch of liars… I was told in a live chat (which I still have an email of) on 17/01/2023 that although they are no longer offering BP Pulse cards for new members they have no plans to cancel BP subscriptions for members who currently have this… I received an email today, telling me that my BP will be being cancelled as of 1st March.

    I’ve only been with Elmo since mid-December and this is the third 1* review I’ve left! I will now be cancelling this subscription and going with Onto. Hopefully they treat their customers better!

    Hi Katie,

    Thank you for providing your account information, it is greatly appreciated.

    We are so sorry to hear you have experienced anything less than positive with elmo.

    Only recently have we rolled out an update to confirm that we will no longer be offering BP Pulse memberships as an optional part of an elmo subscription. Our reasons behind these changes come from the feedback we have received from our users regarding the quality and usability of the BP Pulse Network.

    At the time that you asked if we would be cancelling the BP Pulse card, it had not yet been confirmed how we would proceed with existing BP Pulse card users. We have also notified you that you can continue using the BP Pulse card for the next month, until the 1st of March.

    We pride ourselves on being as transparent as possible and our team will always provide open and honest advice and did their best to assist with the information provided to them at the time.

    We understand that this news might be disappointing. We hope that the improved network offering of 20,000+ chargers on elmoCharge will offer the seamless electric vehicle experience we are striving to provide.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we appreciate the feedback.
