Martin Drew Martin Drew A huge thanks to Tom for all the effort, good humour, and professionalism.
5 stars

The experience was not what I was expecting at all. I have never leased a car before, and I thought it would be a very prescriptive process. However, it felt like a collaborative effort instead. I dealt with Tom, and I was really impressed by how invested he was in getting the specifications of the car right for me. I changed my mind on some details of the specs sometime after I had signed the order, and to be honest, I was expecting to be told it was too late. However, he was totally unfazed and managed to sort everything out, getting it requoted quickly and amending the order for me.

I very rarely leave reviews, but I did feel this was an occasion where it is really warranted. So, a huge thanks to Tom for all the effort, good humour, and professionalism. I have no hesitation in recommending DreamLease.
