Very smooth process

Jim was very efficient in locating a vehicle to fit my needs, at a price and on terms that suited my business. The car arrived on time and in perfect condition, and the gentleman that delivered it was extremely helpful.

Easy leasing

Matt made the experience easy, which is the key. Nothing was too small a question, never failed to call back when needed and did not harass me at all when I was making the decision. This is the second vehicle I have leased through Rivervale, I have looked at other companies but none offered the service I recieve at Rivervale.

Professional Service

I came across Rivervale when searching for a new lease deal as my current one was due to end in September. I found a good deal if I got the vehicle sooner so after getting an early termination figure from my current lease company I contacted Rivervale and others to secure a new vehicle. From start to finish Mark was helpful with the process. He (and other staff) kept me informed of any issues as they arose and the process was straightforward. The delivery of the vehicle was on time and I am delighted with my new Nissan. Thanks to Mark and the team for helping me negotiate this process and get what I believe was a good deal for my new lease. I would happily recommend them.

Company car to private lease

From speaking to Matt initially and his assistance in placing my order for my Lexus LBX, through to the help given by Teresa in sales support to ensure my car was available for collection in the short timescale I had, all went seamlessly!
I can’t thank both enough to helping me make the transition from 8 years in a company car into a private lease car as simple and stress free as they did.
I’d highly recommend them

Rivervale Quality Service

Jack at Rivervale supported me through my previous three year car hire and up to the present one.
Always polite and never pressured me even when we were looking at other cars through different companies, great service and will be looking to go through Rivervale again at the end of this lease, customer service second to none.

Timely, helpful, efficient

Rivervale came up via a car leasing website, along with others.
They had a good deal on a car I liked but so did others.
After reaching out to a few firms, Rivervale (Jake) is the only one who consistently returned my calls and genuinely seemed interested in helping.
Once I had made a decision, Jake helped me through the process.
The only hiccup was at delivery, which was down to the delivery company and even then Rivervale liaised with them and helped to resolve the issues.

So in summary, timely, helpful, efficient - happy to recommend.

Simple and easy communications with Jim…

Simple and easy communications with Jim to order my new lease car. Queries answered quickly. From original enquiry to delivery of the vehicle was 3 weeks, including the 2 week cooling off period. It couldn’t have gone any smoother. Will definitely be a returning customer at the end of this lease.
Delivery of the vehicle by Nick from Listers was superb, a lovely guy who explained the car controls and set up the car app.
