Car Accessories  

I have resisted writing this review as I always like to give companies the benefit of the doubt.
Booked a AMG GT-R Black Series for a specific event on 2nd September. Was slightly uncomfortable that I couldn’t pay by Credit card but looked at the reviews and decided that the issues that other reviewers had highlighted were exceptions. Booking confirmed & £2,650 transferred.
I emailed on the afternoon of 1st September to confirm all was on track for the booking & received a confirmation that it was.
At 8:07pm I received an email stating that the car had just displayed an engine management light and giving me the following options:
• We can contact third party hire companies to find out if they have a Benz AMG GTR Black Series or similar available.
• Reschedule to another convenient time for you.
• Process a refund straight away.
Disappointing but on high end cars things like this can sometimes happen.
As the car had been booked for a specific event, I requested a refund and provided the necessary bank details.
Over the course of 16 emails between 2nd September and today (29th September) I have been promised that the refund has been processed on no less than 3 occasions and been told that it will appear in my bank account in 48 hours, by the end of the week & 24 hours.
As of writing this review (29/9/2023) I have yet to receive the promised refund.

UPDATE following Classic Parade reply - I have sent an email at 20:18 on Thu 26th Oct 2023 expressing my surprise that they cannot find me on their system & giving them the necessary reference numbers to find the booking (The same reference number that has been on all 17 emails received from them since 25th August) - I will update further if/when I get a response

Update following Classic Supercar standard response to all negative reviews posted on 10/03/2025.

Same old story - unable to find my details even tho they have my booking reference and plenty of emails about their not returning my deposit.
Successfully applied for CCJ against the owner.
Debt collection agencies are currently looking to track him down however the address he has listed in companies house never seems to be occupied.

If you are sincere in wanting to resolve this then I will give 1 last chance before I publish the details of the CCJ and all emails to prove that you are insincere in your boilerplate response to all negative reviews

This is my second review….

I enquired about one of the cars, offered by this company, before I paid the deposit and rate, I saw some bad reviews, so I asked for pics and videos, via email and phone 6 times, I waited a good week and a half, and I left a review and suddenly they decided to contact me, 7 days later when I left a review… he promised I will get pics and videos on Monday, it’s now Wednesday, he asked me to take down my review, so I did, but this company is a shambles, do not use, unprofessional and cannot even produce the bare minimum… “reply time with an average of 60 seconds” what a lie!!!

STAY AWAY

I was recommended to classic parade by a friend and wasn't disappointed, the Porsche Carrera was top notch.

Fantastic selection of exotic cars at fantastic prices

Great Mercedes GLE, car was clean and in good condition.

Phantom was in excellent condition, security deposit transferred back no problem

Used the Lambo Revuelto for an event I was hosting, decently priced and car arrived on time no problems. Thank you to Andy and the team.

Wanted an Urus for a music video, car
was delivered early and very clean.
Looked amazing in my video. Thank you.

The only rental company I can find in London with a Honda NSX. My favourite car and now my favourite rental company!

Nice selection of cars, great prices! Will use them again

Good cars, in good condition. I will be using Classic Parade again.

All resolved was a big misunderstanding with a breakdown in communication and has been dealt with amicably and professionally and I’m happy with the outcome thankyou

*UPDATE BELOW*
We have not had a good experience at all with this company. We booked a white convertible Aston Martin for our wedding day on the 3rd August. At 4pm on the 2nd of August we recieved an email from a team member to say there was an issue with the car we had booked and he was trying to find a replacement for us but would refund our money if he was unable to provide an alternative.

This caused a huge amount of stress the night before our wedding as having a nice car to drive on our wedding day was something we had both really wanted. Eventually the team member informed us he would be unable to provide an alternative and we asked him to refund us. This meant we had no wedding car and had to join our guests on the wedding transport we had booked for them.

It is now the 11th of August and we do not have our money back and have not heard from the team member since. This is extremely concerning for us as we paid a large deposit for the car we had booked. We have tried calling various phone numbers displayed on the website and on the emails from the team member and all give an automated message before dosconnecting or go straight to voicemail. We would very much appreciate someone from Classic Parade getting in touch with us as soon as possible to resolve this issue.

*UPDATE*
Following the publication of this review the team member from Classic Parade got back in touch with us with his deep and sincere apology for the delay. Our refund was issued almost immediately and the team member offered us complimentary use of a car in future as a goodwill gesture. We are really pleased this has been resolved and satisfied with the apology we have recieved from the company.

Great service!
