Hippo Motor Group Reviews 

Matt was very helpful and showed us the vehicle and took us through the warranty options to make sure we were happy with everything before we drove our van away

Josh was really helpful and answered all my questions

Thankyou to Kamaal for a very efficient response to helping me get my next car sorted, all went through smoothly and quickly and Kamaal was super helpful and good with communication. Also thankyou to Graham for firstly driving a huge journey to bring my car to me - a long day it must have been! Graham was very friendly and helpful too, making the handover very simple, and bonus points that my labrador Milo appreciated Graham saying hello and making a fuss of him too! Thanks again to everyone 😊

Morgan was very professional,understanding and was a pleasure to deal with he sorted out my problem straight away

Amazing service, fast and easy! Tyler and Liam were amazing. Iona was lovely, warm welcome and helpful!

Josh very helpful

Served by Lewis and Matt. Sales team were very professional and supported test drive as well as resolution of minor issues that I wanted dealing with prior to collection of the vehicle. Other products as part of the sale were offered, but not forced so overall sales approach felt good.

Very helpful quick an easy, very polite and easy process

Josh was very friendly and helpful. Great customer service and provided excellent advice on additional products that are recommended. Would highly recommend visiting Hippo and asking for Josh :-)

Josh was very helpful and patience

Good handover from Alan. Thank you for your assistance
I am still awaiting a refund of travel costs that were supposed to be reimbursed. They ignore emails and fob you off. Totally unacceptable

Really great experience today at Hippo Peterborough with Matt. Super professional and friendly. He helped to guide towards the extra level support that would be suitable for our needs such as warranty and shine protect. This will give us greater peace of mind for the next few years. Thanks for the great service!

Liam has been awesome, thank you Hippo Motor Group.

Customer service amazing.

Dan and the team in the Workshop / Service Team really went above and beyond to sort my new car out. Had a sensor issue, it was collected and returned same day.

Fantastic service!

From the start I was dealing with James Butler and he was fantastic. Answered any questions I had and kept me updated the whole time.
Today my car was delivered by Nick who was brilliant. Explained and helped with the handover of my new car. Was very friendly and polite.
I couldnt be more happier with my new car and the whole experience. Thank you all so much.

Professional friendly advice, very helpful and would definitely recommend.

My experience with Hippo Leasing/Hippo Motor Group has been nothing short of a disaster from start to finish.

My first purchase was a Land Rover Evoque (OV70 SNU). After already waiting a week longer than expected for delivery, I was told there was a fault with the vehicle and had to wait an additional week. As an apology, I was promised my £99 holding deposit would be refunded. This was in April. Today, 3rd June, I am still waiting for that money.

I finally took delivery of the vehicle on 29th April. Just two days later, on 1st May, it broke down and became undriveable.

I rejected the vehicle and requested collection. I was told I had to keep the vehicle insured until it was collected and that Hippo had up to 14 days to arrange this. Due to the fault, the vehicle could not be locked, leaving it unsecured on my driveway while I waited for updates.

After repeated chasing, I was eventually told the car would be collected on 19th May. Prior to collection, AnyVan contacted me and asked whether the vehicle was mobile and whether the wheels would turn. I explained that the vehicle was stuck in park with the brake locked on. They informed me that Hippo would need to specify that a winch and skids were required for collection.

I immediately contacted Hippo Leasing/Hippo Motor Group and explained this several times.

On the scheduled collection date, a driver arrived while I was at work. Within 20 minutes of arriving, he left because he did not have the equipment needed to move the vehicle. My mother was shown the collection notes, and there was no mention of skids or specialist equipment. Despite Hippo Leasing/Hippo Motor Group claiming they had included this information, the driver’s paperwork showed otherwise.

A second collection attempt was eventually arranged. Even then, the driver could not move the vehicle, and it was only through the assistance and knowledge of a mechanic that we managed to get the car into neutral and onto the trailer.

Because of these delays, I lost my insurance deposit and had to pay for an additional month of insurance. I am still awaiting reimbursement for insurance costs, road tax, and the £80 worth of fuel I put into the vehicle before it failed after just 60 miles.

While all of this was ongoing, I agreed to purchase a second vehicle from Hippo Leasing/Hippo Motor Group – a Range Rover Velar (SD21 VKK).

I signed all finance documents on 12th May and the finance agreement went live. I was initially told the vehicle could be delivered during the week commencing 18th May. However, I was then told delivery could not take place because the finance on the rejected vehicle had not yet been sited and the finance company would not pay out until the other car was back on site with Hippo Leasing/Hippo Motor Group.

I regularly checked the MOT status of the Velar online and noticed it did not have a valid MOT. When I queried this, I was told Hippo Leasing/Hippo Motor Group completes the MOT the day before delivery. This raised obvious concerns – what happens if the vehicle fails the MOT? Would delivery simply be delayed again?

After being largely ignored by my salesperson, Zac, for over a week, Michael stepped in. To be fair, Michael was the only person who appeared to take ownership of the situation and actively tried to help. He eventually provided a delivery date of 3rd June.

However, by this point I had already been without a vehicle for over a month and had requested delivery before the final weekend of May. I was told this was not possible because the vehicle was still being prepared. When I asked what preparation remained, I was shocked to discover that this vehicle also had an engine fault and was not fit for sale.

Michael advised that this was the first he had heard about the issue and was unsure whether Zac had been aware of it.

Following all of this stress and inconvenience, I requested the return of both my £99 holding deposit and my £1,000 vehicle deposit. I was told these refunds would be processed on 28th May. When I contacted Hippo again on 3rd June, I was informed that the refunds had still not been actioned and that Accounts would be processing them that day.

To make matters worse, I then recently received a text message from Zac saying there was a vehicle “match” for me. When I opened the link, the recommended vehicle was the same faulty Land Rover Evoque (OV70 SNU) that had broken down after two days and been rejected.

I genuinely could not believe it.

One final point: both warranties for the vehicles I purchased were activated at least a week before delivery. If you do buy from Hippo Leasing/Hippo Motor Group, check your warranty start date carefully. Their standard warranty period is only three months, and you may lose valuable cover if it is activated before you actually receive the vehicle.

Good and efficient hand over on the day. Matt explained all options left for me to make decision on optional product. Which I was comfortable about.
Thank you for your help.
