This is our second leased vehicle from Rivervale. They are a great company to deal with. Everything is clear and everyone is always happy to help even when we ask daft questions! Jake in particular always goes above and beyond. Highly recommended.

We had a bit of a rocky start but in fairness this wasn’t the fault of Rivervale. The original vehicle was found to be faulty the day before delivery. Rivervale responded well and I was given a temporary car in the interim until my vehicle was ready. This was my first experience of leasing a car and there was a bit of miscommunication when it came to completing the forms but other than that all was very straightforward
The delivery service was a little disappointing. The car arrived on time but the delivery guy was very uncommunicative and I don’t feel explained the car and it’s features

Our account manger was with us every step of the way, helped us through the process, was honest and went above and beyond to get us sorted.

This was my first time leasing, so was quite wary, but everyone I spoke with at Rivervale was very patient and explained everything; along with prompt and detailed responses to additional questions - Tracy and David were very helpful here.
This made the entire process, from my first contact with Jake and Jordan, right through to its conclusion, easy, quick and straightforward, resulting in my receipt of a car within two weeks of signing the lease.
Well done to the entire team and thank you.

Kyle was prompt, informative and managed to source a car in double quick time, beating a 3 month wait list and at a price that was unbeatable.
Having leased cars for many years, this was the best and most enjoyable experience thus far.
Thanks again.

I found Rivervale through a website for car leasing. After submitting my request for a quote I was contacted by Jordan who stepped through the process of leasing a car ( my first time ). Jordan was extremely helpful throughout the process, no forceful selling, it was as simple as here is the spec, this is the cost and this is the lead time. Let me know how you want to proceed. No pressure, just support and that is how it should be. I would 100% recommend these guys, everything they have told me they have delivered on. Car got delivered this week so all in all really pleased with the decision to go down the leasing route. Thanks Jordan and team for the support!!!

A rather poor experience with Rivervale from start to finish with a lease agreed but a 2-month delivery time stretching into 8-10 months.
My biggest issue was lack of communication. Once I had paid my admin fee, the only emails I got from Rivervale were replies to emails I sent chasing. i never once got an email updating me on what was happening - I only got updates when I enquired why I hadn't heard anything for a month - and I wasn't badgering them, I would email at the beginning of each month asking what was going on and it just felt like a can was being kicked down the street.
Even when I cancelled, it took many calls and emails to get it sorted, I never received an official email cancellation acknowledgement or invoice and my car order still shows live on their portal (I have received my admin fee refund, luckily).
I understand that the car delay may have been out of their hands (although someone who works for the car brand told me no vehicles of this model were being issued to 3rd party leasing companies as they were struggling to keep up with direct demand). They really need to be better at communications and updates. If I had not have chased them up, I would likely never have received a single email or call from them.

Reply from Rivervale
Great communication off Jake Zeegan. The whole process was simple and did not have any impact on our day to day operations.

Reply from Rivervale
If you are afforded the pleasure of being taken care of by Joe @ Rivervale expect nothing less than above and beyond customer service and a smooth leasing process, very friendly and informative and doesn’t leave any stone unturned, would highly recommend for someone new to leasing or is looking for an alternative option.

From my initial enquiry to post-delivery check in Joe was great. I had a very specific set of requirements and he worked to satisfy them all - locking in a great deal at the same time. Subject knowledge and comms were fantastic throughout. Would recommend without hesitation.

Another great experience using Rivervale! Dan was really helpful throughout the process of leasing my new vehicle, from providing the initial quote through to processing the credit agreement and then completing the lease agreement.
Delivery of the car took place at a convenient time and date. The delivery driver was friendly and helpful.
I would highly recommend using Rivervale to source your next lease vehicle: the price and selection of vehicles is great.
