Andrew Watson Great Straightforward Service
5 stars

From the start of the process Martin was very helpful and explained how the process of first time leasing a vehicle worked. No pressure was applied and that was great because had there been any I would have backed out.

Martin at DreamLease has been exceptionally helpful and quick to respond to all of the minor queries you may have when leasing a car. Would not hesitate to recommend. Fantastic price for what I was after as well - way ahead of any others.

5 stars

DreamLease have literally been a 'dream come true'.
We found Dream Lease a pleasure to deal with. Their team members (in particular Skye Collings and Tom Glen) were more than helpful and we are very pleased to have leased our vehicle through them. Their offers (deals) are excellent and very competitive. I would recommend them without a second thought or doubt.
