Pivotal - Car Subscription Opiniões 501

I have been dealing with Pivotal for while now and the team is amazing. From Finance through delivery to support every member of team is fantastic and helpful. They will always go extra mile to sort out anything. Ashley from onboarding team is superstar! Keep going guys as you are the best - no one has better customer service than you!!! Pleasure to do the business with you 🙂

Excellent service for the car collection and very thorough inspection to confirm we had no significant issues.

* Response to Pivotal’s reply* - I’m glad you’ve publicly proved your lack of customer care and understanding around the issue, I know what the fair wear & tear standards are I’ve handed many cars back, you completely ignored the main point around cost and excessive repairs to return cars to your own standards. £800 vs all others have been £100 odd, what’s hard to understand there Pivotal?

** Also they’ll say you can escalate to BVRLA for a dispute, but I’ve looked into it and they don’t consider cases relating to repair damage or costs! So you’ve literally got no choice but to pay, nothing short of a scam.**

As with the below review please take this as warning. Don’t use their services.

Started all good, but after 3 months I needed hand the car back, inspection went well and the collection agent said there were minimal issue’s and I’d really looked after the car. Fast forward two weeks and I get an £800 bill For a two doors to be re sprayed, for two small light marks that didn’t even remove paint and weren’t mentioned when I was handed the collection report that he asked me to sign. I’ve previously paid less than £100 for the same damage from Porsche.

I went round the block with customer service then the internal complaints team, all refused to budge even though I provided ample evidence the charges were excessive and over the top compared to other providers.Not a sniff of customer service or care.

In the end your left with no choice but to pay their charges, deeply concerning and disappointing approach to a “luxury service”.

Two one star reviews of the same nature over £800-£900 which will now put off many potential new joiners, costing far more I’m sure.

Pivotal, here’s your last opportunity to put right this shocking experience - my car reg was KS23UYG.

Pivotal customer for over 2 years, two Discovery in that time. First one was returned in such good condition that they wrote to me to say so. After taking a position abroad for 6 months I wrote to pause my subscription and the car was collected.

The collection agent was on my driveway for over 2 hours, circling what appeared to be nothing. He advised me not to worry as 'he had to spend a long time going over everything' and that the vehicle was in perfect condition. It was also 9k under mileage, which reflects how little it was used.

3 weeks later I receive a bill for £900, saying that 3 panels require repair and respray. Really? Do they have the right car?

When I started as a customer with Pivotal, I read many of the very bad reviews on here which said that they use the return standards as an opportunity to fleece you for value added fees and make a lot of money from it. I had a conversation with the director of customer service at the time, as I was concerned. He advised me that it was nothing to worry about and was just 'bad customers who don't look after the vehicles'. I should have listened to my gut feeling.

I can assure anyone reading this that I am NOT one of those customers. I am obsessed with car detailed and the vehicle was immaculate on return, just like the first one. These people are clearly crooked!

I have taken my own images. As the vehicle is driven to and from the depot, whats to say that any alleged scuffs occurred during that time? Whats to say they decided to put it through a 'scratch and shine' car wash before arrival?

Either way, this is a scam and I am not playing their game.

Take this as a warning to anyone considering a subscription with JLR Pivotal. Read this and THINK TWICE.

quality cars and really good customer service and back up I had 2 Jaguar IPace which were both superb vehicles
I would highly recomend Pivitol

Ashley has been my main POC at Pivotal for the past 3 years, and she’s been brilliant from day one.

I can be pretty fussy when it comes to cars — always changing my mind on models, trims, colours etc! However, nothing ever feels like too much trouble for Ashley. She’s genuinely easy to chat to, always gets back to me quickly, and somehow just knows exactly what I’m after every time.

I’m probably not the easiest customer 😅 but Ashley always makes the process feel smooth and personal. She remembers all the little details — even sent us flowers when we had some good news. That kind of thoughtfulness really stands out!!

Pivotal’s been great, and a big part of that is down to Ashley. More people in customer service could learn from her. I’ll definitely be staying with Pivotal for years to come.

On collection of your vehicle, they will absolutely seek to gouge you for the cost of cleaning or ‘repairs’ to non existent or tiny scuffs. I was very happy with the car and service otherwise but this was the reason I walked away from the contract. They claim to use BVRLA guidelines re wear and tear but they don’t. I wasn’t even allowed to inspect my vehicle and agree marks and scuffs etc. Complaints go ignored.

EDITED IN RESPONSE TO REPLY BELOW
I think this tells you a lot about how this company works - noticeably quick to respond to public reviews such as this one but very slow (or not at all) on complaints, my complaint is still outstanding weeks later. And the suggestion of appealing to the BVRLA is very telling. They will 100% gouge you for any tiny scuffs and normal wear and tear - clearly where they make a lot of their margin.

Great experience dealing with the Team at Pivotal, in particular Tilly, who has been fantastic.
Brilliant customer service... fast, efficient and knowledgeable.

On to our third car with Pivotal and would happily recommend. Fantastic customer service, including sending flowers when I happened to mention we'd lost the family dog. No issues with unexpected costs for the two cars returned, in fact the £300 charge was waived on the last vehicle we just exchanged.

I am now on my third car with Pivotal and I can't fault the service. From providing the car to delivery and collection, everything has been first class. The team behind this does a fabulous job supporting the service. They are very helpful when needed and are proactive with information. I just did a swap out for the car I had and the process was easy and simple, and they bring it to you. The cars are all nicely optioned out, not the baseline models. I love this service and can't speak highly enough of it. You won't regret going with Pivotal.

My partner Michael has been dealing with Tilly Ayers and asked me to write a review as he is so impressed with her service, so efficient and has never dealt with this company before but said the service was fantastic and he’s extremely happy!!

I have been with Pivotal for over 4 years and must say, the service impeccable. If you want a Range Rover without any drama, it makes financial sense to subscribe to them. When you change over vehicle, its always new for old and as long as you treat the car with respect, there is very little or no surcharge for wear and tear. Living in London is difficult to avoid curbing the wheels or minor dents, but I'm careful.

Pivotal doesn’t give me a car they provide me with a no hassle service that gives me back time. No issues dealing with garages, Mot’s, trawling websites for car comparisons, trying to find insurance….pivotal arrived with my 4th vehicle last week and as usual my interaction was maximum 10 minutes - great job Pivotal keep doing what you do.

I had an excellent experience with Ashley at Pivotal. She is exceptional at her job, taking the time to genuinely get to know her customers and keeping them informed throughout every step of the process. Her attention to detail and commitment to communication is truly admirable.

The entire Pivotal team deserves recognition as well. Each team member is incredibly personable and ensures you’re kept in the loop at every stage of the client journey. It’s clear that the business is structured remarkably well, with every individual excelling in their respective roles and creating a seamless, well-coordinated experience.

A huge thank you to Ashley and the whole team for your dedication and professionalism—you’ve made the process smooth and stress-free from start to finish!

5-Star Review for Pivotal by Jaguar Land Rover

I recently joined the Pivotal subscription service and have been driving a Land Rover. The entire process to subscribe was simple, straightforward, and—most importantly—completely hassle-free.

While the monthly cost is slightly higher compared to traditional leasing or financing, when you factor in depreciation and running costs, the value becomes clear. The convenience alone makes it worthwhile—no long-term commitments, no unexpected expenses, just a seamless driving experience.

The Pivotal team is knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly helpful. The customer experience has been far superior to dealing with traditional dealerships, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I’m genuinely surprised more manufacturers haven’t adopted a similar model.

I would highly recommend Pivotal to anyone looking for a premium, flexible alternative to car ownership.

I am now in my 5th year of Drive Pivotal membership. At all times, right from the first contact, they have been polite, friendly, cheerful and above all, efficient. I know they all need to be as described, but it is refreshing to experience it year after year.
Well done to you all - you have my vote!

A great experience from start to finish - very professional, helpful and pleasant. Nisha (member Services) was particularly helpful and responsive. The car has arrived, and I am absolutely delighted. I look forward to using Pivotal for the years ahead.

Second time I have had a vehicle from Pivotel and found the whole experience completely flawless. Will definitely be using again in the future.
