Awful

Awful. Customer service and general management of lease was awful. Mislead and had to chase constantly for an update. I was mislead to believe car would arrive within desired time frame to hear 4 weeks after this date they didnt know where the car was, contrary to initial information they gave me. I ended up cancelling lease and went with a different company that was amazing and complete opposite!
I would not recommend. Caused a lot of hassle, stress and loss in wages.

Reply from First Vehicle Leasing

Hi Rachael

I'm really sorry you had a bad experience with us. I can see that we were badly let down by our supplier who initially told us the car was in stock, then that it would arrive before the end of December, then could not give us any information at one point. Despite the fact we were passing on this information to you as we got it, I completely understand how how frustrating and annoying this must have been.

I apologise things did not go as they should and we are reviewing our relationship with this supplier given how they let us down in this instance.

Should you want to discuss this further, please get in touch - crm@fvl.co.uk

Consistency is Key

I have now transferred my small fleet across to FVL and have worked with Chris Peart for each vehicle.
Having the same contact is a key positive. Chris understands our requirements and maintains contact throughout the process.

Very good customer relations

Very good customer relations, only disappointed with not having any car mats and I was told the car had heated front seats which it didn’t have, spoke to a kind lady today and she was going to pass it onto my representative,
Otherwise all good and always kept me informed

Chris was super helpful at all stages of my leasing. This is now my second car through FVL, and he helped arrange the original lease, and my latest one so I got the car I wanted at a good price and with flexibility which was much appreciated. I'll be back again!

4th times a charm

This is the 4th time using FVL and could not be happier. They have a great selection of vehicles and good prices. The website makes it easy to customise the deal and the communication is great. Very polite informative people who couldn’t do enough for you.
