Overall experience

The first contact, vehicle search and loan process was very smooth, responsive and professional-and I have recommended your services to others on that basis.
However I was disappointed with the number of providers I then had to manage to register the car, arrange delivery and then pick up of the trade in. I understood that would all be taken care of by Private Fleet. I now know others who have experienced similar frustrations.

The Private Fleet team were great but beware delivery charge can apply

The Private Fleet team were great and very responsive. The process overall was easy, which is why I have given 4 stars.
However, I would rate 2 stars for the lack of transparency regarding delivery. It was only once the negotiations were done that I was informed the Dealer was not prepared to deliver my new car to me / collect my trade-in. I had stressed how important transparency was when first speaking by phone to the Private Fleet Consultant and was reassured this offer was part of the Private Fleet service.
Private Fleet website states: ‘You will be kept up to date as to estimated delivery times and at your convenience, your new vehicle will be delivered to your door with a full tank of fuel.’
At no time was I advised before engaging Private Fleet that this offer was dependent on the Dealer's acceptance to do so as part of the negotiated sale price. At the end of the day, I begrudgingly accepted to pay an additional $330.00 to have the car delivered to me and my trade-in taken away. On delivery, I was further disappointed to find the tank was ¼ below full having not been topped up before arrival.

Great service

Great service, very professional and efficient.The purchase of my new vehicle was hassle free, no haggling with sales reps and the likes. They did it all and I got a great price. Will definitely be contacting them again to manage the purchase of my next purchase.

i accepted the proposal from Private Fleet. The delivery date was an ongoing issue which caused concern. Eventually I had to contact the Dealer supplier then the carrier to arrange delivery. Private Fleet did not return my enquiries about the delivery.
The car arrived without the "full tank of fuel" which at about $2.12 per litre would be (76 litres) $161. the tank had about 15 litres worth $33.90. gift cards were provided totalling $100 which did not cover the dealer oversight.
The vehicle handbook is very thick and covers several models and at times the handbook does not cover the items on my vehicle. Again this seems a dealer issue.
Private Fleet should take steps to ensure these items are more adequately dealt with and the product they are promoting, is properly presented when issued.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback, Trevor.

We're pleased you chose to purchase your new vehicle through Private Fleet. However, we're sorry to hear that parts of the delivery experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating this would have been.

While the final delivery, vehicle preparation, fuel level and owner's handbook are managed by the delivering dealership, we agree these are an important part of the overall customer experience. We're sorry the vehicle was not delivered with a full tank of fuel and that the $100 goodwill vouchers did not fully offset the dealership's oversight.

We have raised your feedback directly with the dealership and reinforced our expectations to help prevent similar issues in the future.

Thank you again for your constructive feedback and for choosing Private Fleet. We hope you enjoy your new vehicle.

Unimpressed

instead of asking the customer how much would you like to pay for the new car they should go out and get the best price and than present the price to the customer( instead they put $1000 dollars on hold upfront before they do anything) in my case they took my trade in 5 weeks before the new car was ready for delivery. I was not paid for the trade in at that time ( i consented to this though) Ideally both transactions should have been on the same day There was also delays receiving the new car from original date mentioned. They did get the new car at the same price i was able to negotiate for myself, so overall no benefit to me regarding a big discount through private fleet. Next time i will buy my own car .

Sales person was excellent

Sales person was excellent, mix ups with accounts ie requesting papers more than once,hold up with delivery, vehicle was 20ltrs short of a full tank, external part of vehicle was filthy however private fleet did supply a $100.00 voucher towards the cleaning.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We're pleased to hear you had a positive experience with your sales consultant and appreciate your kind comments regarding the service provided.

We also acknowledge your concerns regarding the duplicate paperwork requests, delivery delays, and the condition of the vehicle at handover. While aspects such as vehicle preparation, fuel levels, and final delivery presentation are managed by the supplying dealership and are unfortunately outside our direct control, we understand these factors form an important part of the overall customer experience.

We're sorry the vehicle did not arrive in the condition you expected and were pleased to be able to assist with a contribution towards the cleaning costs. Your feedback is valued and helps us continue working with our dealer partners to improve the experience for our clients.

Thank you again for choosing Private Fleet.

Thank you for your feedback.

We're sorry the vehicle was not delivered with a full tank of fuel as expected. While vehicle preparation and fuel levels are managed by the delivering dealership, we understand your disappointment.

To assist with the unexpected shortfall, we provided a fuel voucher and raised the matter with the dealership. We appreciate your feedback and thank you for the opportunity to be part of your vehicle purchase journey.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service. Anton was the first the blame his entire team for every mistake. If you are to use private fleet for anything, get EVERYTHING through email as they will talk the talk on the phone but not hold true to it.

Great Team at Private Fleet

Sam Vasserman the agent I was allocated did a great job in sourcing me an excellent purchase price , but he was provided me with terrific customer service .He was contactable and when not was responsive in returning my enquiries. His manner was friendly and easy going , he was very knowledgable and he made me feel like he was doing everything he could to get me the best deal , not just earn a commission for his company . I was very happy with his performance .The support crew to the Sales team were also very efficient with their communications .
