Hi Stephen,

I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with our service. After your application we ran credit checks on you, with your permission, and sadly they did not allow us to proceed with the no deposit option. To try to help you and give you an option to have a van with us without paying a deposit upfront, we put together a solution to finance a £1000 deposit contribution over 12 months with a 3rd party lender (at no cost to yourself). Unfortunately, you also failed in that 3rd party Application process and we were unable to offer you a van.

We always try to provide proactive solutions to help people get the vans they need rather than saying ‘computer says no’ but in your case we exhausted all options.

I am not sure if you would have preferred that we simply said no initially rather than trying something that could have helped you out.

Insurance is never included in our product offering (but soon we will have options to do this) so the “comprehensive was always going to be on you.

Frankly, I am not sure we deserve the 1 Star rating here given that we went above and beyond to try to help you out.

DriveSimple have been fantastic

So far DriveSimple have been fantastic, I was at my wits end with trying to organise some vans for my small business, however Ben Sharples has gone above and beyond to source what I need. He assessed our business on an individual basis and was happy to answer any questions I had. I am grateful to DriveSimple for their quick service and looking forward to receiving the vans in the coming days.

Perfect Customer Service and Fast Delivery

Today the van was delivered to me, just a day after my application was approved. That's so quick and efficient. I definitely recommend DriveSimple to everyone who is thinking about hiring a van. They have a great and high quality customer service.

What a great company! Excellent customer service, easy to order a vehicle online, clearly laid out and easy to understand costs which comes to one simple monthly payment, saving me time and stress. Keep up the good work DriveSimple.

I would highly recommend DriveSimple

I would highly recommend DriveSimple. The simple process to order a vehicle online and easy to understand pricing (I had been looking for a simple monthly all inclusive price structure for a while and repeatedly frustrated by other companies over complicating it all) made it vey straightforward. And of course the team were delightful and very helpful. Overall all a good experience.
