Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 198 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company, often describing it as fantastic and seamless from start to finish. Customers consistently praise the staff for being helpful, professional, patient, and providing excellent communication throughout the entire process. The service is frequently highlighted as exceptional, with many appreciating the straightforward quotations, quick online interactions, and efficient handling of finance applications. Reviewers are particularly impressed with the smooth delivery service, often noting that cars arrived on time, as requested, and drivers were polite. However, some customers experienced issues with the car's cleanliness upon delivery and drivers who seemed rushed or did not explain the vehicle's functions. A few other people also felt that aftercare was appalling, with one instance where a broker offered a small valet instead of addressing a significant issue, and the account manager became unresponsive.

They go above and beyond!

From getting a great price in the beginning, to assisting all the way through the leasing and delivery process, and even after the car was delivered and I had some problems with it (not their fault) they were friendly, helpful and generally went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. If you are looking to lease an electric car, you don't need to look any further than e-car lease.

Nervous first time leaser

Mike and the team have been incredible. This was my first lease experience and I have been very nervous throughout, but so far, so good! I'm able to drive a car that I would never have been able to afford outright and am loving it.

I must have asked Mike for 20 different permutations and configurations of the possible options and he always came back to me really quickly.

The only annoying things was that delivery took about 3 weeks, but it was over the holiday period, so I do have some understanding that things take a bit longer!

Thanks so much to everyone! The positive experience means I will possibly never own a car again!

Thanks for the detailed analysis of your car lease with us. It’s so rewarding to hear that Mike, in sales, was so patient and diligent. Ensuring you receive the right vehicle / right finance type is crucial to us.

And sorry for any delays. December was our busiest month of the year! While our dealer partners were working hard, it still was a little slower than usual due to the demands on all of us.

If you need anything further, just let us know.
