Brilliant experience again!

This is our second time getting our new car from Nissan in the last 6 years and the whole experience has been fantastic. Whether it is a telephone call to them or taking the car in for servicing, the staff are so friendly and helpful. We couldn’t recommend highly enough and a special mention to Regan who has been great in getting the cars sorted for us!

A car for all drivers

The staff were very professional and polite. Whilst we couldn't agree on the original car I had enquired about I di eventuallly buy a vehicle. This is the second car I have puchased from this staff (originally Bristol street and now Vertu) where I have gone in for one vehicle and ended up buying a different car (in my opinion a better car).

I spoke to Richard at Nissan/Vertu Derby, I’ve used them for the past 4 cars I’ve purchased. I explained what I would like to do and could they make it possible. Richard found the car I really liked, sorted out all the administration, dealt with my existing car and personally delivered my new set of wheels this morning. What a fantastic experience. Thanks Richard and your colleagues.

Make sure you talk everything through

Make sure you talk everything through. If you want some petrol in the car before you leave, they will charge you for it. If you buy a new car, apparently it doesn't come with floor mats. You can buy some through them and pay £400 for the protection package.

Horrendous expiernce

What a mess buying my car has been.

We applied for their finance and was told that we was accepted in a set rate. We then went home happy with the purchase. Day later then get told that we needed a guarantor and that the finance hadn't been accepted despite being told it had been!!!!
We then struggled sorting that out and then after passing through the details for the guarantor we then had a call from a different sales person saying that we could try with another finance company for the same APR. Passed it to them and got accepted first time with no guarantor .

I dont see why we got lied to about the original acceptance and then also messed about with a guarantor when the other finance company was happy with us without one.

Only reason we are still purchasing is because we love the car but will never be coming back here again!
Do not take out finance with them, Wish we had got a bank loan!

Amazing customer service

After Reaching out to Vertu Derby, Bethany and George found the vehicle I was looking for. They managed to organise the correct spec and colour ready for collection in less than a week! Absolutely fabulous customer service from start to finish from George. From going through initial application to collecting the car. Even set it all up and explained the features thoroughly. The whole process was smooth and excellent with no pressure at all. Definitely worth a trip.

Daniel was so helpful

Daniel helped me purchase my Nisan Leaf and was amazing ! I made the final purchase on the Friday and by the Monday Daniel had organised a driver for my car to be picked up and driven to me on the Wednesday ! The car arrived spotless and Daniel helped me with the basics over the phone to as I had never driven an automatic or electric car before.

It also only cost £120 for my car to be delivered from Derby to West Lancashire which I thought was really good as you get the first 30 miles free!
I had never driven an automatic before and was worried with collecting it and driving back from Derby so this was perfect for me

Hi Erin
Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback. We're delighted to hear that Daniel made your Nissan Leaf purchase such a positive and stress‑free experience. It’s wonderful to know he was able to organise delivery so quickly and smoothly, and that your car arrived spotless and ready to go.
We’re especially pleased that Daniel took the time to talk you through the basics over the phone, particularly as it was your first experience driving both an automatic and an electric vehicle. That extra care and reassurance really does make all the difference.
It’s also great to hear that the home delivery option worked so perfectly for you and offered good value — we completely understand why collecting from Derby would have felt daunting, and we’re glad this solution suited you so well.
Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope you continue to enjoy every mile in your new Nissan Leaf.
Kind regards
Dawn

We recently purchased a used car from Vertu Detby

We recently purchased a used car from Vertu Derby, and after a very difficult experience with another dealership in Castle Donington, we were understandably quite anxious about buying again. However, our experience this time couldn’t have been more different.

From start to finish, Regan was absolutely fantastic. He was patient, professional, and incredibly understanding of all our concerns. We had a lot of questions (probably more than most!), but he took the time to answer every single one thoroughly and respectfully, always making us feel reassured and never rushed. His friendly and approachable manner really put us at ease — we genuinely couldn’t have asked for better service.

Thanks to Regan, what could have been a stressful experience turned into a smooth and positive one. It’s clear that Vertu Derby has a great team that truly cares about its customers.

We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a car, and we’re very grateful for the outstanding service we received. Thank you again, Regan!

It’s wonderful to hear that his patience, professionalism and understanding helped put you at ease, and that he took the time to answer all of your questions thoroughly without ever making you feel rushed. Turning what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and reassuring experience is exactly what we strive for.
Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and your feedback will certainly be shared with Regan and the wider team. Thank you again for choosing Vertu Derby — we hope you enjoy many happy miles in your new car.

Fantastic & Helpful Service

On the 9th April 2026 I dropped off my Nissan Ariya Motability car to Vertu Nissan Derby for its second yearly service.

I was met by Sophie Campbell who signed me in and arranged a loan Nissan Qashqai for to use while my car was being looked at.

Sophie was absolutely fantastic and very helpful.

On me coming back to Nissan later on that day to collect my Nissan Ariya I was met by Adam Ali who I first met in 2025 on my first vehicle service.

Adam as always was fantastic and very helpful.

Both Sophie & Adam are a great asset to Vertu Nissan Derby and represent the company at a very high standard.

I would highly recommend others to use Vertu Nissan Derby as I would be using them again .

Good morning Jake,
Thank you for the fantastic review. It’s great to hear how well you were looked after during your Motability service visit at Vertu Nissan Derby.
Sophie will be delighted to know how much you appreciated her help arranging everything and making the process smooth from the start. And it’s lovely to hear Adam once again provided the same high standard of support you remembered from your previous service.
They are both real assets to the dealership, and your recommendation means a lot.
Thank you for choosing Vertu Nissan Derby — and for planning to return.
