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.

WARNING! This is not DVLA

WARNING! THIS IS NOT DVLA. This site appears in google when you type in 'Tax my Car'. You type in your registration number and your car details appear. The site says your car needs taxing and asks you for card details and a payment. It takes payment but DOES NOT tax your car. It is a subscription service to provide you with otherwise freely available information. Don't be fooled. What they are doing is not illegal but it is very deceptive.

You have NOT paid your car tax people. BEWARE

This is almost like a scam site. It comes up when you Google pay car tax online. Then you put your vehicle info in and they ask for payment. You then pay it and only later do you realise you've not paid your car tax you've actually subscribed to a service that records information about your car and that's it. Cancel immediately. I reported this to the bank and they will raise a dispute for me if the company continues to take money from the account. When people say in reviews that it was easy to pay their car tax they actually haven't but don't yet realised. The responses from the company to the reviewer don't even have the common courtesy to tell them they haven't. They clearly know exactly what they're doing but obviously don't care.

A scam company that makes out that it can tax your car. It does this by coming up in a google search bar when you search for taxing your car online, It takes all your details, asks you to confirm 50 pence on your debit card and then proceeds to lock you in for stealth 7.95 payments per month!
When you try to cancel they still take the money from your account. AVOID!

Did not knowingly sign up for this

I don't know how I've been signed up for this subscription, 9 payments of £7.95 taken monthly, I've never heard of them before and am annoyed at myself for not calling my bank sooner.

Watch out Hidden Subscription Service

They do not make it clear that it is a subscription service, they charge you £0.50 then immediatly the day after charge you £7.95. I found out 7 months later that I was paying them £7.95 per month for nothing. Absolute con with no mention of this or at least not very clear on thier website.
