Excellent Service and Consistent Support

I've been a Rivervale customer for around eight years and have leased three vehicles through them. Throughout that time I've always dealt with Jake, which is a real credit to both him and the company.

It's rare these days to have the same contact for so long, and it makes a huge difference. Jake is always friendly, respectful, knowledgeable and very quick to respond. Nothing ever seems too much trouble, and he consistently provides excellent customer service.

The whole leasing process has always been straightforward and stress-free, and that's one of the main reasons I've returned for my second and third vehicles.

A fantastic experience every time. Thank you, Jake, and well done Rivervale for looking after your customers so well.

4th time using Rivervale over the last decade and still keep coming back. Kyle has always been wonderful and come up with a solution for our driving needs

This latest time, money has been tighter so I pushed another dealer really hard, yet Kyle matched the price, no problem. Very happy to continue using them. Be realistic, but they go the extra mile every time. Excellent (especially if you can deal with Kyle!)

This is the second time I've used Daniel at Rivervale. He is attentive, polite, hard working and on both occasions he has found a good match for a lease.
His follow up phone calls are helpful. Very happy with my new vehicle too! It arrived on time and I felt there had been a lot of care in the process. Looking forward to my new car.

Absolute joke of a maintenance company

Absolute joke of a maintenance company, will do everything in there power not to honour any services of tyre repairs. Your best saving your money rather than paying the monthly fees for nothing. They also wait until they have approved a job then charge you weeks after for it. Avoid at all costs

Hi Scott,

We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your experience.

Our maintenance agreement provides cover for servicing, maintenance and tyres in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement. Where work falls outside of the agreed cover, we will always aim to explain why and any associated costs.

We take concerns of this nature seriously and would welcome the opportunity to review your individual circumstances and address any issues directly. Please contact our team with your vehicle details so that we can investigate further.

Thanks,
Rivervale

Returning customer. 5* Service

Just replaced my vehicle with the help of Dan and Abbey from Rivervale. This is the second time I’ve used them in the last 3 years. Brilliant deal on a BMW i5. Dan has been great at keeping me informed on delivery time and also Abbey for sorting vehicle exchange. Had one car delivered and other picked up within a 2 hour window. Will hopefully be a returning customer again in 3 years time. :)

Pleasant experience in a competitive market

Discovered Rivervale via a lease comparison website. Once enquired, you are contacted swiftly and Jordan was very helpful with answering questions and I didn’t felt pressured (like with other leasing companies).

I felt like I got a good deal, especially with zero broker fee, which is what initially brought me to the site. Jordan was transparent by explaining that the car was a pre reg and therefore would require a service within a couple months of delivery - this transparency and honesty is appreciated and should not go unnoticed.

Delivery was arranged to suit me and arrived on time to my door.

Car leasing is a terribly competitive market and this being my 3rd lease, Rivervale are probably the best company I have bought from. Would highly recommend and big thanks to Jordan for the help

Excellent service from Rivervale again

Second time I have used Rivervale and service just as good as before. Kyle managed my account well and kept me informed at all stages responding to queries promptly. Rivervale offered a competitive deal and synchronised collection of my out of contract vehicle and delivery of the new one on the same day
