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)

  • 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.

    Easy ordering process and good customer service

    The reservation process was straightforward and the vehicle arrived in good condition and on the day it was booked, but it's an all-electric vehcile and was delivered with just a 13-amp charger....
    To their credit, Elmo customer service responded quickly to the issue but I am now 2.5 weeks on and I am still having to rely on finding tethered chargers when out and about while waiting for a cable to arrive.
    If you want to be taken seriously then checking that approriate charging cables are supplied is surely a must?

    I have been with this company for a good few months now. I haven’t had any issues at all. I was with another company that’s very similar before this and had what I can only describe as the worst service and experience from a company I have ever had in my entire life. That’s putting it mildly. I’m sure you can figure out who they are. Elmo have been great. Absolutely no trouble. The service is friendly and very quick. They have done everything they said they would so far. No bother or stress. The process from start has been easy and service has been 10/10. Admittedly I haven’t had an issue with my car or anything so I can’t say how they handle those kinds of things but so far I cannot fault them and would happily recommend them.

    1st Class Service

    Excellent company to deal with and the contact Chanel was always available and the communication faultless and so quick - not always the case with any online companies. Would not hesitate to recommend.

    Everything went very smoothly and lived up to expectations. Only one small downside - the driver was unable to complete a full charging on the delivery so the car arrived with only around 25% charge, meaning I had to go and charge very soon after receipt.
    Just unfortunate and I would certainly recommend Elmo to anyone looking for a short-term EV

    What an amazing company to deal with. Louis is a true credit to the company who went above and beyond to help me to secure the car I really wanted. Really helpful, transparent and honest from the start. The whole process has been so easy and stress free. Highly, highly recommended! Thank you Elmo & Louis.

    Car leasing made simple

    The process of leasing the car was very simple and Reasha helped me every step of the way. The car arrived as planned and the return procedure very easy, returning on the day that suits me. I will have no hesitation in using Elmo again.

    Make the move to Electric

    My wife and I wanted to make the move to electric motoring, but didn't know if it would work for our lifestyle. We found Elmo and they made the process easy. We were able to pick a car, and get all the information easily, and within a few clicks we'd ordered our first subscription car. It was delivered exactly when they said it would. The delivery driver was excellent and very knowledgeable. We have only had to contact customer service a couple of times and I couldn't fault them. We wouldn't hesitate to advise anyone who wants to try electric motoring without taking on a pcp. Happy Motoring!

    Good service

    Car was delivered within the time frame, good communication from the team throughout. The driver profile on the website is easy to use and updated progress through the subscription and delivery process. Also handy to see driver stats, mileage etc…
    Unfortunately the car did not come with any kind of handbook, so we are having to google as we go. The team also forgot to supply the granny charger and I am still awaiting delivery. Although the team did respond to my query very quickly.

    I wanted to find out how easy it was to change my currant car which is the zoe to a MG. I spoke to Samantha who helped me out to what would be the best option she understood what i required and it made sense in waiting a little bit as i didnt need the car asap and didnt want to change to the colour that was available when we spoke.
