A great vehicle leasing company.

I have used Nationwide Vehicle Contracts for well over a decade and had numerous vehicles for my wife and I. The company is professional, very helpful and very competitive in both price and vehicle choice. Delivery and collection of vehicles is smooth and easy and over all they offer great value for money. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great leasing option.

Avoid New or used lease

Long story short. Ordered a used model Tesla model Y. When delivered lots of scuffs and scratches more than photos. On further inspection and driving with the steering so far off it was clear it had been in a nasty accident and repaired on the cheap. After several calls and emails and my first payment taken out even though told finance was cancelled, two weeks later and £120 in insurance costs for it to sit on my drive, they finally collected it! I ordered a brand new lease vehicle with them and had been told I’d have a call from the sales manager during all the mess up with the previous vehicle and surprise, new ones turned up cloudy rear light been driven 140 miles to deliver and is filthy so I’ll pay to sort that aswell shall I? Shocking service would not recommend as they don’t care when they have your money had to go through the bank to sort my own refund!

UPDATED REPLY:

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear about your experience and we apologise for the frustration and inconvenience caused, especially relating to two vehicles.

Following your concerns with the used Tesla, we liaised with both yourself and Arval to help resolve the matter. Arval advised that the account was placed on hold until the vehicle was collected and that the agreement would then be cancelled in line with their process.

Arval also advised us that no payment had been taken. We understand you had different information, and you were advised to raise this through your bank.

Regarding your MG, a member of our Customer Resolutions team has picked this up and will be contacting the supplier to investigate further. We will update you directly in due course.

Horrible experience.

It is hard to know where to start.

I took a lease for a used car; initially everything went smoothly.
I had to chase things every step of the way, but delivery was confirmed for 26th May.

The car didn't arrive.

After ME repeatedly chasing them, it transpired the car had been in a crash on the way here.

I realise this is not down to Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, however the service since then has been appalling.

I have chased progress daily. Not once - & I mean never - has any of the team proactively contacted me.

The same (lack of) proactivity has seeming been applied to a solution.
I have just received a call offering delivery of a vehicle on 18th June.

NVC were aware of a UK holiday I needed a car for from 12th June,
They were aware I was experiencing daily challenges due to no vehicle.

Their response has been sluggish and apathetic at best; inept at worst.

I really wish I hadn't bothered.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are really sorry about your experience. We completely understand your frustration, particularly given the inconvenience of being without a vehicle and the impact this has had on your plans.

Unfortunately, the original vehicle you ordered was involved in a road traffic accident whilst being transported to you. While this was outside of our control, we appreciate that the situation and the resulting delays have caused significant disruption.

Following confirmation that the vehicle could no longer be delivered, we worked with the finance provider to identify a suitable alternative vehicle, which you accepted. As part of this process, the replacement vehicle required preparation, pricing approval and new documentation before delivery could be arranged. We recognise that this extended the timescales and are sorry for the frustration this caused.

A formal complaint was opened as soon as we became aware of the non-delivery, and your case remains under active review with a dedicated case handler. We understand that the level of communication did not meet your expectations and appreciate your feedback regarding this.

We are pleased to confirm that delivery of your replacement vehicle is now scheduled for 23 June and we sincerely hope this helps bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion.

Thank you again for your feedback.

Had another great experience with Nationwide, Lauren who was my sales advisor was spot on again and whilst things didn’t go as smoothly as either of us would have liked everything was dealt with in a professional and courteous manner. I’d like to mention firstly Lauren and secondly Claire as both were most helpful and Lauren especially extremely patient.

Excellent customer service

Having used the services of Nationwide Vehicle Contracors for a number of years now, I can vouch for the excellent service delivered by Lauren Reynolds. It is brilliant having the ability to contact a representative rather than just a chat bot. Lauren is super efficient and extremely helpful, thank you Lauren!

Lauren got me a Pop Green Renault 5 with sparkles.

I have used Nationwide Vehicle Contracts in the past for a works van. This time I was in the market for an Electric Renault . I found the whole experience really good. I dealt with Lauren Reynolds and she kept me informed at all times. The model and colour I wanted was not available from Renault but I was prepared to wait for Renault to manufacture one for me. This was all organised seamlessly by Lauren. I could have gone to a Renault main dealer locally, but then I would have to deal with a car salesmen and end up with something I didn't want. Lauren and Nationwide did the organising for me and I got a better deal on the car I required. Will I use them again, absolutely. This is my first EV car and I am so impressed with it. I would not buy one, leasing is the way forward due to the 8 year life span of these vehicles. Leasing is the future, EV's are the future. My Renault 5 is very green. Leasing is the way forward for these vehicles and thanks to Lauren it was a very good experience. The car even arrived on a low loader which I wasn't expecting.

Really disappointing experience.

This was my first time leasing a car, and to be fair to Nationwide, their pricing was the most competitive I could find in my research. What I've since learned is that a lower price does not equal a better deal.

After my order was confirmed, the estimated delivery date to the dealer was pushed back repeatedly:

1st estimated date: 24/04
2nd estimated date: 29/04
3rd estimated date: 05/05
4th estimated date: 18/05 (communicated to me on 11/05, six days after the car was expected at the dealer)

On 07/05, I asked for an explanation for the repeated delays and my query was passed to the complaints team. Nineteen days later, I am still waiting for a response.

The car was finally delivered to me on 22/05. In fairness, the car itself arrived in good condition and the delivery driver was professional. Unfortunately, I later noticed it was missing an item, and when I rang up to enquire, they informed me that the matter had been forwarded to the complaints team.

I am not one to complain or to usually write reviews, but I'm struggling to see another way to resolve this matter. Given I'm still waiting on a reply to my initial enquiry after nineteen days (and counting), I'd rather not be left in the same position again.

Please can you action the missing item promptly.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback. We're pleased to hear you found our pricing competitive and that your vehicle arrived in good condition.

That said, we're sorry for the repeated changes to the estimated delivery date. We understand how disappointing it is when dates change, especially when updates are not as quick as expected.

I've spoken to our complaints team and can confirm that they've opened a complaint and should have been in touch this week regarding the missing item.

We're sorry again for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

I ordered a car

I ordered a car, paid, the fee and agreed that new car would be delivered in May. Cancelled as dates kept being moved back last email says until the end of August. Was promised a refund (in writing) within 28 days. That has now passed. Poor communication and last email has been ignored. I have now lodged my concern with my credit card company to try to get my money back. I have leased other vehicles this has got to be the worst service ever. I would avoid!
The response demonstrates what type of a company this is . I have one email confirming a refund within 28 days and another apologising for the delay saying the matter has been escalated. The agent seems like a fair and reasonable person. I am awaiting a response from my credit card company, it would be preferable if Nationwide just processed the refund as they have said they would do on two occasions.

Hi Neil

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration regarding the delays and refund process.

As your order was cancelled outside the 14-day cooling-off period, a full refund of the processing fee is usually not applicable. However, we appreciate the circumstances surrounding your order, including the delays and communication issues.

We will escalate this internally for further review, and a partial refund may still be considered, subject to management authorisation.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused and for any frustration experienced during this process.

Renault Astrale in Garage for over 9 months

Renault Astrale in Garage for over 9 months, leased from I am told (by autoserve) by Nationwide vehicle contracts. No end in sight, no suitable vehicle supplied to replace warranty vehicle, customer service non existant, where to turn from here. Company has nerve to continue to charge monthly lease for vehicle that has not been on road for over 9 months - Disgracefull beyond belief

Updated reply: UPDATE: Hi Jagdish. We completely understand how frustrating it must be to be without your vehicle for such a long period of time, particularly when the matter is still unresolved.

While repair and replacement vehicles are handled by the manufacturer/finance provider, we appreciate that your agreement was arranged through Nationwide Vehicle Contracts (under the name Lorraine Mcsharry).

We’d like the opportunity to review this further and help establish who is currently managing the repair and replacement vehicle. Please contact our Customer Resolutions team at cr@nationwidevehiclecontracts.co.uk with your details, and we’ll look into this as a priority.

We’re sorry again for the distress and inconvenience caused.
