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. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 155 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers found the platform to be user-friendly, straightforward, and easy to navigate, making tasks like paying for vehicle tax less stressful and quicker than traditional methods. Reviewers, including those who are not particularly tech-savvy, appreciated the simplicity and ease of use, often comparing it favorably to government websites. However, some people were dissatisfied with unexpected charges and recurring subscriptions, often believing they were on an official government site. Customers reported initial small charges followed by monthly fees for services that are otherwise free, leading to frustration and concerns about unexpected deductions from their accounts. There were also complaints about the website's date entry fields and issues with payment processing, with some users experiencing difficulties with their 16-digit V11 numbers.

Vehichle information scam

I was done exactly as Victoria and Pauline. You pay your tax online and these people just worked there way in there. Now you can not get a refund for any of the deductions. Who can I contact to get help. I know I wont get the money back, I just want a confirmation that this scheme is canceled. We old people are vulnerable targets that gets exploided daily.

Scam!

My elderly mum tried to renew her tax, your site came up top of Google when searching DVLA tax. She paid 2 months £7.95 plus £0.50p to you. Hasn’t had car tax for 2 months and now worried you have her card details. Shocking deception.
