Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 152 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers found the user experience straightforward and easy to navigate, especially those who are not particularly tech-savvy. People appreciated the quick service and the ability to complete tasks online without much hassle. However, a significant number of reviewers expressed dissatisfaction with unexpected charges and the pricing structure, often feeling misled into paying for services that are otherwise free. Many people reported being charged monthly fees after an initial small payment, which was unexpected. Some also encountered issues with the website's functionality, such as difficulties with date entry fields or the 16-digit number on the V11 form.

this company scams people who search for car tax on google. It appears first in googles answers and then charges you for what you could do for free just by going to the UK.GOV site. it charges 50p initially but then charges £7.99pm until you cancel your account with them (which you have no way of knowing you have commited to). Avoid at all costs

Company scamming people into thinking they are taxing vehicle

I needed to tax my vehicle and this website is the first one that comes up, it some how lurs you in to write your vehicle license in. You think you have taxed your vehicle but all that's happened is you have paid to see information you already know and charges you£7.95 a month for it with an initial 50p starting charge. I then received a final notice about my vehicle not being taxed. This is not fair, this is a scam and more importantly you are presuming your vehicle is taxed.

100% SCAMMERS/THEIFS

Don't remember ever signing up to anything ever and been taking £7.95 a month for nothing. Never heard of you and never had a single communication from you.
Totally illegal practice and nailed of scammers.

Im sure I will get your generic automated robot reply of "i am sorry your experience was difficult......."

I nearly got caught out as I thought it was a Gov website. I filled in the form ready to pay when I noticed the 50p charge and subsequent £7.95 monthly for information otherwise available for free. They sent me chaser emails with a link back to their website for what I thought was full tax amount payable.
