This was my first lease car and FVL made the process really easy and got me the best price possible. I mainly dealt with Jonathan slack and Samantha Edwards and they were both fantastic and really helpful all the way through the process. I originally ordered a different car but it got delayed a few times by the Manufacturers (Not FVL's fault) so Johnny helped find me an alternative car that was in stock and I received it within a few weeks and the new car is actually a lot better than the one I originally ordered.

I took delivery of my new T-Roc in Ascot Grey today at 8.45am and I have to say it is beautiful and so quiet! My last car which I had for 5 years was a Mini Cooper diesel so a big change for me. Scott Russell has been my contact and he has been brilliant. He is knowledgable and professional and has been so helpful throughout this whole process. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Despite having to wait several months for my car, no fault of FVL, I was kept informed along the way. The process of leasing was made very easy. The people I spoke to were always helpful and polite and informative. I would have no hesitation in recommending to others. Thank you.

Sadie S
I've used other leasing companies in the past and always been frustrated by bad communication and the car not being as specified. First car leasing was completely different I assumed like other car leasing companies that once I paid the broker fee I'd not hear from them again. However I was wrong. I emailed once for progress and was responded to within in minutes that they would get more information which they got within the hour. When the car became available nothing was too much trouble they were incredibly helpful and friendly and I know exactly what was going on. The car was exactly as the description said whereas previous leasing companies had Downgrades. I would recommend first car leasing to anyone... in fact I already have been recommending to my friends.

Customer service was good even though I placed my order in July for a Citroen Crossover but when I chased up August was told the dealer had not received my order which I was deeply disappointed with. I then ended up having to order a different car Ford Puma which was a lot smaller and soonest I could get was mid December I wanted the 155 bhp version which was available but then took a callback following day to say it had gone and was offered a different model, I just wanted a new car as mine was no costing extra as my term had expired. Delivery driver was really nice and car was clean and ready to drive.

Hello Charlie and thanks for your candid review. We're sorry to hear about your experience. We have had a few supply issues over the past 24 months with one thing and another as we're our admin team have most likely explained. However, without this kind of feedback, we can't improve our service. We will be able to have a look at this in-depth to find out what went wrong and improve our offering moving forward. The new Puma looks great, so thanks for uploading your images! We hope you enjoy it as they are great to drive. Happy Motoring, FVL

Fantastic customer service! Peter was great in finding me one of the last if not the last C200 Petrol that’s available in the market due to car chip shortages. As it was my first time leasing a car, I felt so much at ease engaging with Peter and the price offered was the best compared to other dealers. I’ll definitely recommend FVL to family, friends and will continue to use their service. Thanks team!!

I found the customer service to be the main reason for choosing first leasing to supply me with my beautiful car. Delivery was so easy and price was affordable. However I would like to have had the opportunity to decide whether I was supplied with floor mats as I was not advised these did not come with the car as standard and I would have happily paid to have them fitted so that I could keep the car in excellent condition

Hi Claire, thanks very much for taking the time to leave your review and upload your lovely photo of the new Mazda, it looks sensational! We're sorry to hear about your car coming with no mats. Unfortunately, many manufacturers are taking out things that we used to take for granted, as the standard specification goes up. We will take your comments on board and see if there is a way to communicate this better to our customers. Thanks for your feedback again and we hope this won't put you off from coming back in the future. Happy Motoring, FVL

Cannot fault the service from FVL, from the initial phone call, the speed everything was processed and delivery of the car. Love the colour - power orange just “pops” in the sun. Was a little disappointed that the car smelt of stale cigarettes which took a while to get rid off but that wasn’t any fault of FVL. This is the 2nd car we have had with FVL and would recommend them

We will contact our supplier with this feedback as it's nowhere near good enough. If you could please contact our customer services at crm@fvl.co.uk they will arrange to have the car valeted again for you. We hope it doesn't ruin your experience too much. Happy Motoring, FVL

Excellent service - extremely happy. This is the first time that I have leased a vehicle so I did my homework and shopped around. I had a clear idea of what I wanted and how soon. Unfortunately very few companies were able to meet my requirement. FVL certainly were able to do so. All the staff, Scott in particular, was knowledgable and helpful. Being my first time, I had rather a few queries popping up during the process. Each time they answered my queries and concerns with patience and reassurance. The whole process turned out to be an even shorter time than initially planned. I got my vehicle within 3-4 weeks, as promised. And we were all delighted. Thank you to all the team.

I had a technical problem with my previous car which the manufacturer could not solve. The car had to go back within weeks, which left me little time to find a replacement at the right price and specification (a.o. benefit in kind to think of also). Scott jumped on it, found me a suitable car for the right price and kept me fully informed all the way. I got this beautiful BMW as a replacement within 3 weeks of cancelling the previous car.
