Do not use this company

Do not use this company . All they are after is squeezing you for money once you sign up . Every time it goes for a service through their scheme or needs tyres you have to pay additional mileage costs as they use some weird system , even through you are not over the ocntractual mileage . AVOID AT ALL COST !

Good evening Matt, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback,

We cannot charge a customer excess mileage if they have not exceeded their original contracted amount.

The excess mileage charges are also stated on both your Vehicle Order Confirmation and Maintenance agreement, which you are required to sign before we can add the service plan to your deal.

Thanks,

Lauren

I had been on the Vanarama website and had in mind the vehicle I was choosing but wanted to speak to someone, as I had a few questions.
I rang, got straight through to Kwame, and within minutes had all my questions answered and my vehicle details confirmed and ordered all within 15 minutes.
The documents were all emailed and easy to follow, sign and send back.
Excellent service and excellent quotes.

Amazing customer service

All the colleague's I spoke to were all pleasant and polite, they made you feel like you was worth talking to, nothing was to much for them.
I would 100% recommend to family and friends, if you’re looking to purchase a car.

Appalling service from start to finish…

Appalling service from start to finish for someone looking after elderly parents and completely dependant on this happening. Placed the order over 3 months ago, had little to no contact other than automated messages telling me all was OK. Until after all that waiting I was informed that it would be at least another 6 months before I could get the car I was told would have been here by now. The issue was down to communication between Vanarama and factory / dealer. I was then given the option to change the car without the need to go through further finance check etc. Did this and changed the car and was then told the whole thing was falling through even though the car was the same value etc. So after 3-4 months I'm being told there's no option and they have wasted all this time whilst I have a dire need for transport for my parents! What a complete waste of time, and Vanarama are not interested in the significant inconvenience they've caused my parents health and living conditions without a car. To say I'm vexed would be an understatement. The only option I was given was to cancel the order and make a new application which might lead me down the same garden path again. No recourse for this company messing their customers about, causing significant inconvenience and not paying the price as they just put the phone down and the problem goes away from them. Sort out your processes, how do you allow this to happen to your customers?

Good afternoon Mr Jan, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback.

I have looked further into this and can see the order was initially delayed due to the supplying dealer not submitting the order on their end, and not informing us for a number of weeks. We liaised with the relevant parties and managed to source a new vehicle however, we take full responsibility for the lack of contact around this.

Upon trying to rectify this issue, the finance company let us know they would not be proceeding as the vehicle which was ordered in your name is being used by an individual not directly associated with you at your current address.

I appreciate this is not the outcome you were expecting and sincerely apologise for the additional stress this has added to your current situation.

Thanks,

Lauren
