Easily the best customer service experience

The company is an absolute pleasure to do business with in every respect. Staff is outstanding in all departments. Melissa Morgan at finance deserves a special mention but everyone I ever spoke to was a credit to the organisation.

I really enjoyed the service provided by Pivotal.

Originally I wanted a Range Rover Velar but couldn't find a spec I liked. Toby, who was assisting me offered the Jaguar F Pace with a very high spec and even cheaper! The car looked great and was amazing to drive. Was a very slick service from pick-up to return.

I spend a lot of time overseas so it's a great solution for those who need access to car without the worry of organising insurance, tax and roadside assistance etc.

Just keep the car in good condition to keep them happy their end too as a thanks for such a great service they provide!

Hi Josh,

Thank you for sharing such a brilliant 5-star review! We’re delighted Toby was able to find you the Jaguar F-PACE as the perfect alternative, and that you enjoyed both the car and the smooth, hassle-free service from start to finish. It’s great to hear our all-inclusive model works so well with your time overseas.

We’ll be sure to pass your feedback on to Toby and look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

Highly recommended - outstanding customer service

It’s an expensive option for sure, but it’s also convenient if you don’t want to or can’t commit to financing on a new JLR vehicle.

Over the 2 years I had a subscription I found Pivotal to be an outstanding company offering very personalised customer service and always available if you needed support.

Highly recommend company and hopefully I can use them again in the future

Definitely not recommended.

My first vehicle experienced a breakdown after only a few months of use resulting in several weeks of required repairs. During this period, I was provided not with a Land Rover Discovery replacement, but instead with a Discovery Sport model. As I have four children, a seven-seater Discovery is necessary for my family’s needs; the Discovery Sport does not meet these requirements. Despite this inconvenience, I continued to be charged the full price for my Pivotal subscription. When I requested compensation for paying substantial subscription fees for a vehicle that broke down prematurely and was inadequately replaced during repair, the company responded: “I have spoken to our vehicle issues supervisor regarding your goodwill request due to the fault with your vehicle. As a courtesy car was provided to you to cover the week you did not have your Pivotal vehicle, they have advised that we will not be able to offer any goodwill.”

At the end of my second vehicle subscription, I encountered excessive return charges that have also been noted by several other users of this service. The inspection agent at collection highlighted only tyre damage, which I acknowledged. He literally said this was the only thing to note. However, several weeks later, I received an invoice for an additional £1,188 for scratch repairs. While I agreed to and paid the separate repair charges related to the tyre damage, I am currently appealing the scratch repair charges to the BVRLA. These were not highlighted at all by the collection agent at the time of collection and appeared to be barely visible.

Based on my experience with Pivotal, I would definitely not recommend them to other potential customers.

Hi Louisa,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We regret to hear about the specific issues you encountered.

Regarding your first vehicle, it did require a visit to a retailer for repairs. While a courtesy car was provided during this period, the type of replacement vehicle is determined by the retailer, and we unfortunately don’t have control over the model supplied. We understand that this was not ideal for your family’s needs and sincerely regret the inconvenience caused.

For your second vehicle, the driver who collected your vehicle carries out an initial inspection to note obvious issues, but they are not a trained inspector. We’re sorry if this wasn’t clear at the time. The final inspection, conducted by trained staff, is where any additional charges are identified. We are aware of your appeal to the BVRLA and are fully cooperating with their independent investigation to ensure a fair resolution.

We appreciate your feedback and take it seriously as part of our ongoing commitment to improving our service.

Kind regards,

The Pivotal Team

Charged for scratches to a vehicle…

Charged for scratches to a vehicle which did not exist; the collecting agent drew on the vehicle with a wax pencil and then took photographs; pivotal did not engage and instead stalk you online and deny wrongdoing; this is a deceitful company with no loyalty to customers; they do NOT provide brand new vehicles on most occasions as they claim; better to lease than use these jokers!

Hi Abdelkrim,

Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear you remain unhappy and want to reassure you that we take all concerns seriously.

As we've previously explained, the charge in question was reviewed and upheld by the BVRLA, the industry’s independent regulator. We understand disputes can be frustrating, and as part of our process, we’ve offered you the option of an independent review by a qualified engineer. That offer remains open.

Regarding the collection process, the use of wax pencils is a standard, non-permanent method used to clearly identify and photograph vehicle condition. This ensures a transparent and consistent handover for both parties.

We appreciate your feedback and are always open to dialogue. As a current member, you're welcome to reach out to our team directly if you'd like to discuss any aspect of your experience further.

Kind regards,

The Pivotal Team

The best short-term vehicle lease by far. Got a brand new top spec Evoque, amazing customer support all the way, and they even waived the fees for 2 alloy wheels scratches in the end.
If you need a car for 3+ months - there’s simply no competition.

charged me £800 for scratches which were already on the car.

They eventually delivered a car with 7000 miles on, not a new car as promised.

After 4 months, they collected it and then charged me £800 for scratches which were already on the car.

Hi Neil,

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we're genuinely sorry to hear that you were left feeling disappointed.

Please know that we take concerns like this very seriously. As a BVRLA-regulated provider, all vehicle assessments are carried out in line with their Fair Wear & Tear guidelines to ensure fairness and transparency for everyone.

If you believe the damage in question was present when the vehicle was delivered, we can recognise how frustrating this must feel.
In these situations, we would always encourage our members to consult the BVRLA directly as they offer an independent dispute resolution service and can review whether any charges were applied appropriately.

We’re here to help too, if you’d like to discuss your case further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer support team.

Kind regards,

The Pivotal Team

Outstanding



I have been renting a Range Rover from the Pivotal Team for almost two years now, and I can confidently say that my experience has been nothing short of exceptional!

From day one, the team has been fantastic to work with. Their customer service is genuinely outstanding, consistently exceeding my expectations. Every interaction has been marked by friendliness and professionalism, making the rental process not just easy but truly enjoyable.

Recently, I returned my car for a pause, and the experience was seamless. Their efficient and understanding team made the transition smooth, which I greatly appreciated. The flexibility and support they offered demonstrate their unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.

It’s clear that Pivotal truly values their customers, and that is a rarity these days. I can’t recommend them highly enough! I look forward to returning in the future whenever I'm ready to rent again. Thank you, Pivotal Team, for making my rental experience so positive and memorable!

Five stars all the way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Exceptional Service from an Expert Team – Highly Recommended!

I’m highly impressed by the entire Pivotel team. Every department and every individual I’ve interacted with clearly knows what they’re doing. Their expertise shows in how they listen, understand your needs, and work to find the best solution for your business.

A special thank you to Tilly Ayres from the Onboarding Team and his colleague Thomasz King – both have been incredibly helpful and professional throughout. The entire Onboarding and Eligibility teams have been outstanding. It’s rare to come across a company where the whole process is this smooth and the professionalism is consistent at every step.

I can confidently say that working with Pivotel has been a great experience. If you’re considering them, I highly recommend going through the process, you’ll see the quality and care for yourself.

Thank you to everyone at Pivotel for looking after us.

Highly, highly recommended.

18 Months 3 Cars – Outstanding Service from Start to Finish

I’ve used Pivotal for three different vehicles over the past 18 months, and I can honestly say the experience has been exceptional throughout.

From vehicle selection and delivery to ongoing support and the return process, the entire service is seamless and well thought out. What really stands out is the human touch—clear communication, flexible options, and a genuine focus on customer experience.

Most recently, after returning my latest vehicle, there was a small charge, but Pivotal waived the fee as a gesture of goodwill. That kind of loyalty recognition is rare and appreciated.

If you’re looking for a premium, hassle-free vehicle subscription service that truly values its members, I’d highly recommend Pivotal. Top-tier service, every time.

Great Scheme

We will highly recommend this rental scheme and the team behind the scenes which make everything happen.

You join with a deposit and become a life time member, every six months we had a call offering to swap or keep the vehicle - Vehicles are in amazing condition, some with little mileage or a few thousands miles ...

Team is easy to reach and very helpful

You cannot choose the exact vehicle spec, but we always had HSE model spec vehicles provided, so had everything you would need and you could also state you needed roof bars or tow bar etc and again we also got roof bars and tow bars

Given the annual mileage offering, it includes everything ( insurance, servicing ) a swap out if one is available and you can pay more to upgrade to different tiers or pay less to drop a tier ... Shame other manufacturers not followed this scheme, as I know it would be very popular.

Highly recommended
