2nd Timer

Absolutely fantastic journey from looking on the website to taking delivery of the car. Lauren and the wider Nationwide team have been really helpful. This is the second time of using NVC and it won’t be the last I’m sure.

Excellent service from start to finish

From start to finish, the process was so quick which I really appreciated as I needed a new car asap. Lauren Reynolds was straight on the case and made the experience seamless through the entire time! I have used NW before and will be using them again.

Returning customer

Returning customer and service was great as usual. Lauren Reynolds was looking after me and went the extra mile to help me change my order from a car that was on order (dates pushing back) to something that was in stock, as I needed the car urgently. All at no extra cost (I even ended up saving money). Thank you Lauren 🙂

Would NOT recommend this company.

Would NOT recommend this company.
Customer service leaves a lot to be desired.
Had the most awful experience with someone by the name of Hollie. She was very rude, dismissive and downright awful to communicate with, which led me to tears!
Made a complaint and nothing was done about her vile behaviour.
In the end I had no choice but to cancel my order.
Reading the reviews shows conclusive evidence that this is a norm.
I have never written a review before but this was warranted.
Nationwide do better!

Hi Barbara, thank you for responding to our request for further information. We're sorry to hear about your experience.

We are surprised to read your comments about Hollie, particularly as she is regularly recognised by customers for the quality of her service. We have listened to the calls relating to your order. While we appreciate there were moments where the conversation could have been warmer, we did not find any evidence of rudeness or behaviour that would justify the description in your review.

That said, we take every complaint seriously. As part of our process, all telephone calls are recorded for training and monitoring purposes, allowing us to review interactions thoroughly. We will ensure your complaint is formally logged, and a Customer Resolutions agent will be in touch with you separately to discuss your case.

In the meantime, we would like to reassure you that your feedback will be taken on board and fed back to management. We're sorry that we were unable to progress your order and that you decided to cancel. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

Highly recommended

Recently I have used your company for a lease hire vehicle. I am very impressed with the help I have had to make this happen. Matt Kaplicz, Jamie Locke and Lynn have excelled themselves as they have helped me when completing the application. I found also that your company was fair priced and would recommend you to others who are looking for a lease hire vehicle.

Problems from day 1 and Ownership of problems

Update: based in the response they have given. This all I am getting and they don't contact you have to chase them.

In regards to my complaint, there own complaints procedure states they contact me with 48hours in writing who is dealing with my complaint and reference, nothing has been received.

The issues with dealer, the dealer has shrugged there shoulders of the issue. They delivered a car that doesn't have the spec it should have and it is my responsibility and time to take it to my local dealer to sort it out. As mentioned no ownership has been taken to sort the problems out. Miss selling and poor communication.

From start to finish and ongoing I have experienced continuous issues with Nationwide vehicle contracts.

Lack of communication during the leasing process and ordering the vehicle, rude staff and wrong vehicle ordered to which they blamed me.

Car was finally delivered after I had chase to find out what was going on, only to be delivered with damage and not the spec including out of date software.

Having made a complaint about the service, they failed in their own complaints procedure. No communication, no response back acknowledging the complaint or advising who is handling the complaint. 18 days and no response to the complaint.

The issues with the car keeping being told it is the dealership handling it, only to be told I have to sort out the issues with spec and software with a local dealership. Again more of my own time taken up trying to deal with the repeated issues.

This company don't take ownership for problems and try to resolve them, there is zero customer service and it seems to be everyone else's fault rather than theirs. I took the lease out through Nationwide and I don't have any relationship with the dealer.

I have to repeated chase this company to get answers, once they take your money and get their commission (for doing nothing) you are brushed aside.

I would recommend to anyone not deal this company.

We appreciate that waiting for updates is frustrating. Please be assured that we are continuing to chase the dealership and are doing everything we can to resolve this matter as quickly as possible. We'll contact you as soon as we receive a response.

Thank you for your patience while we work to bring this to a conclusion. In the meantime, if you wish to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to call our Customer Services team on 0345 811 9595 and we’ll do our best to assist you.

As a lease car ‘virgin’ I was apprehensive about the process of leasing a car. The team were very understanding and guided me through the various step. Overall a good experience

Lease car order

From the very first phone call enquiry to delivery of the final delivery of my lease car Nationwide Vehicle Contracts were very helpful. In particular Kayleigh Waters who was my main point of contact, kept me up to date throughout the whole process and was always happy to assist with any questions I had. Would not hesitate to use this company again.

Zero broker accountability when funders abandon customers over safety-critical defects

I am exceptionally disappointed with Nationwide Vehicle Contracts regarding my recent lease. While brokers are quick to take your money and arrange a deal, their true value is shown when things go wrong—and in this case, the lack of oversight is appalling.

​My vehicle suffered an officially diagnosed, safety-critical high-voltage battery inverter fault. The funder they placed me with, Arval, completely abandoned their regulatory duties, refusing alternative mobility or safe flatbed recovery, forcing me to pay out-of-pocket to tow the vehicle myself. Worse still, Arval attempted to obstruct my access to the Financial Ombudsman by stating on the phone they would refuse a deadlock letter unless I closed my complaint.

​When you choose a broker, you trust them to partner with reputable, compliant financial institutions. Nationwide Vehicle Contracts placed me with a funder that actively disregards consumer safety and fair compliance practices. I have been left out of pocket, stranded for weeks, and forced to escalate this to the Financial Ombudsman Service, Trading Standards, and the DVSA. I would heavily caution anyone using this broker; if your car develops a major fault, you will be left entirely on your own.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear about the difficulties you have experienced with your vehicle.

If your vehicle has developed a manufacturing defect, responsibility for diagnosing and repairing the fault would usually sit with the vehicle manufacturer under the terms of the manufacturer's warranty. We understand you have already been in contact with Nissan regarding this matter. If there is anything further we can do to assist, or if you require any contact details, please let us know.

With regard to your concerns about the finance provider, whilst we are not responsible for the processes and decisions of third-party organisations, we take all customer feedback seriously. We would like to reassure you that all funders on our panel are carefully assessed based on factors including their reputation, regulatory status, financial standing, industry experience, and the vehicle funding and support services they provide. Arval is one of the UK's largest vehicle leasing and fleet management companies, managing hundreds of thousands of vehicles and operating under Financial Conduct Authority regulation. They are a long-established and well-respected provider within the vehicle leasing industry.

As your concerns form part of an ongoing complaint with third parties, it would not be appropriate for us to comment on the specific details of those matters. If, once the complaints process has concluded, you remain dissatisfied with the outcome, you may be able to escalate your concerns to the Financial Ombudsman Service or the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA), depending on the circumstances.

Highly recommend NVC! Everything went so smoothly from start to finish! No pressure at any point in the process to spend more money than I’d planned which is not always the case!! Kayleigh was amazing and guided me through it all. Pointing out extras and insurance options but again no pressure. The delivery was seamless too!
