About elmo

Written by the company

elmo is an electric car subscription service on a mission to help everyone switch to an electric car...

Book online in 5 minutes, get verified in 24 hours and have an EV delivered to your door in just a few days (subject to availability)

Unlike a lease, there's no deposit to pay and no long contractual commitment. You can hand back the car (or swap to another) by giving 30 days' notice after your first month. The subscription package is all-inclusive too, covering:

  • Electric car hire
  • Comprehensive insurance
  • Maintenance and Servicing
  • Breakdown cover
  • Vehicle Excise Duty
  • Congestion charge
  • We can also help with charging both at home and on the road. Head over to our website to find out more.

    Customer Service

    Live chat to help you every step of the way...

    We have a dedicated Customer Service team available via live chat, email or phone ready with advice and answers to help you find your ideal electric car.

    Avoid

    Avoid: The car arrived dirty and with a number plate cellotaped on at an angle. Then the car wouldn’t charge. Then I was passed from pillar to post between Elmo and the RAC on what to do next. As it stands I’ve been left without a car for nearly a week and Elmo still won’t authorise paying for a courtesy car out of their pocket blaming the RAC and the dealer for the issue. I’ve spent hundreds of pounds on taxis and won’t be able to set up for my son’s birthday party. The customer service agent I’ve been speaking to has been helpful and friendly and service standards and regard for the customer from Elmo have been some of the worst I’ve experienced. Hassle beyond words, the opposite of what this service is supposed to provide.

    Flexible and reliable

    Been with elmo for 4 month. Overall a great experience. Very easy set up process to get the subscription going. Even after you've setup if you change your mind, they are pretty flexible to changes. The account representatives are great and they deal with your account related queries promptly. The only problem is booking high demand cars, they come and go while you're thinking about booking it.

    Great and enjoyable experience.

    My experience so far with Elmo has been great. From arranging the car to any changes made to account etc. Nothing is to hard for these guys to help and support with.

    I'm currently waiting on delivery of second vehicle which will arrive tomorrow for the wife.

    Nice and friendly company to deal with and I have 2 new besties and they can fight over who is the better one out of the 2 haha. Shout out to Chanel and Nimo for making my experience great. Would not have it any other way.

    It is an experience that no doubt comes with huge challenging moments when switching a transport vehicle from unleaded into fully Electric vehicle! Elmo has provided great solutions to some of our challenges.
    Mr. Louis, the Manager, I must say, conducted great customer service. Customer satisfaction is business success.
    Good luck, Elmo!

    We fully support anyone who wants to have our world be a better place to live.

    Go Electric and save the environment.

    First of all proper customer service

    First of all proper customer service. I have been shopping around for a few months amongst all subscription providers. Elmo had the right approach. No repetitive emails, no unwanted sales phone calls, no "it's the last car better hurry up", seriously you guys have put to shame bigger names. In the end it came down to the Vauxhall Mokka from Elmo and I could not be more satisfied with the whole experience and the car.

    Prior to taking out subscription the Elmo staff were pleasant and helpful answering my qday they kept me informed at each stage and on the delivery day the delivery was smooth with a very detailed inspection and handover. The two year old car had been washed and valeted and I am extremely pleased with their service. Would wholeheartedly recommend them.
