Representative example: borrowing £6,500 over 5 years with a representative APR of 19.9%, an annual interest rate of 19.9% (Fixed) and a deposit of £0.00, the amount payable would be £166.07 per month, with a total cost of credit of £3,464.37 and a total amount payable of £9,964.37. We compare multiple lenders to help find the best rate available from our panel and offer you the best deal you're eligible for. We earn a fixed or percentage-based commission on the finance agreement, which will not affect your interest rate or total repayment amount. The full commission details will be provided in the commission disclosure document before proceeding with the finance agreement.

Types of car finance

PCP finance

Want flexibility and the option to change your car every few years? Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) could be the right choice. Make affordable monthly payments and have the option to pay a larger final sum (balloon payment) to own the car at the end of the term.

HP finance

If you’d prefer to own the car outright at the end, Hire Purchase (HP) is for you. With fixed monthly payments over a set term, you’ll become the full owner of the vehicle once the final payment is made.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about car finance. Still unsure? Get in touch—we’re happy to help.

What is car finance, and how does it work?

Car finance allows you to spread the cost of a car over an agreed period with affordable monthly payments. This makes cars more accessible without the need for a large upfront payment. At the end of the term, you’ll have the option to own the car outright with a balloon payment or final payment.

Can I still get a car on finance with bad credit?

We partner with lenders who specialise in helping individuals with less-than-perfect credit. Whether you have CCJs or IVAs, we have options available and will strive to find you an affordable deal. Keep in mind, your credit score will impact the rates and terms you're offered.

Do I need a deposit to get car finance?

Not necessarily. Most of our lenders offer zero-deposit finance options. However, some may require a small deposit, depending on factors like the loan amount and vehicle type.

Will my soft credit search affect my credit rating?

This depends on your income, affordability, and credit score. We assess every application and work to find the right solution, whether you have good or bad credit, are self-employed, or even retired.

How much can I borrow to buy a car?

It all depends on your income, affordability, and credit score. We assess all applicants and strive to assist everyone, whether you have good credit, bad credit, have been declined by other lenders, are self-employed, or even retired.
