5 star customer service

Fred was our contact at van monster and delivered fantastic customer service throughout the whole process. It was so easy to reserve our van of choice with just a quick call. The pics were sent as soon as the van arrived, we sent several enquiries before collection and all were answered quickly and fully with superb directions for pick up day. The man even came in on his day off so we could collect the van and after a 4 hour drive it was lovely to be offered a cup of tea on arrival. The van was exactly as described and in excellent condition. Time was taken to explain all the various extra benefits we could choose as well as how best to care for the van going forward. Our van journey was a long one and we dealt with lots of garages the van monster experience was by far the best and Fred was a star. When it comes time for my next van they will be my 1st call!

Really good experience from phone call to van collection. Dealt with Fred who organised bringing the van from down south to Glasgow. Everything exactly the same as on the description. Allowed to have an extensive look at the van and answered all questions honestly. Effortless process and will definitely be using again for future purchases.

Saw it bought it!

The whole purchase of a van was quick and easy.
I was in and out of van monster in about an hour.
I told Brian what I was looking for and he took me straight to a van which I purchased. It’s was as easy as that.

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. Originally bought a van that lasted 2 months because of an issue with the turbo which i had to hand back several times before being written off after a host of other issues. To be fair they gave me another van without additional cost that had to be handed back on same day as they gave me it with an oil leak then dpf had to be completely replaced only to find after 7 months and less than 5 thousand miles it has broken down again(timing belt and cam chain gone!) 1 bad van is maybe bad luck but 2 is down right unacceptable. The cost of repair is between £3-5k excluding VAT and the warranty offered only covers up to £2k. After contacting them they are no longer interested as its outwith there standard 6 month warranty, been left high and dry and out of pocket the best part of £10k (van price including VAT) as well as not being able to work as im self employed please avoid unless you want saddled with a van thats been battered and shoddily repaired and serviced. As these are all ex hire vans. Now moving goal posts with warranty. The copy i have in front of me clearly states any vehicle under 8 years old and under 80000 miles qualify for a claim and have wear and tear cover which the van in question qualifies. Is this not now the case?

Thank you for your comments, Mr Latimer. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the timing belt failure on your vehicle, and we appreciate how disappointing and inconvenient this situation must be for you.
Your extended warranty began on 1 November 2025, following the expiry of your Van Monster warranty, which provides cover for up to 10,000 miles. Your vehicle has now covered 12,202 miles. When the policy was arranged, a copy of the warranty terms was provided, outlining the level of cover and the applicable claim limits.
We do understand this isn’t the outcome you were hoping for, and we’re sorry for the frustration this has caused. Hello Mr Latimer, the document to which you refer relates to your extended warranty who are currently waiting for the estimate to progress your claim.

Van lasted 5 months and broke down

Van lasted 5 months and broke down , van monster collected it and inspected, told us over the phone the timing belt had snapped, a part which had aparantly been replaced before we bought it. However a week later the timing belt had made a remarkable recovery and it now wasn’t van monsters problem. Washed there hands of us. Worst mistake we’ve made buying a van from them.
