Some common FAQs
Sometimes you don't have to pay a deposit to secure car finance. We work with numerous lenders who offer no deposit. The dealership themselves may ask you to put down a holding payment to secure the vehicle.
Our lenders vary in what they require from you but as a rule of thumb we usually require proof of ID (driving licence, passport etc), proof of income (wage slips or bank statements) and potentially a proof of address (utility bill). We will always make it very clear what we require and confirm this, along with some helpful guidance, in an email.
The vast majority of our lenders will require you, or a joint hirer on your application, to hold a full UK Driving Licence however we do have lenders that will consider Provisional, EU and International Driving Licences as well on a case-by-case basis.
Each lender has their own terms but in the vast majority of cases, 2 years is the minimum term, and 84 months is the maximum.
This depends on the nature of your agreement; for purchase agreements like Hire Purchase (HP) and Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) the lender owns the vehicle until your agreement is settled in full and if applicable, the option to purchase fee, is paid. For Personal Loan agreements the title to the vehicle is always retained by you and you own the vehicle immediately after paying for it.
If you do find yourself with the finances to repay your car loan in full, or are simply looking to upgrade your car to a new model, you simply need to request an early settlement figure from your lender. Your lender will calculate your total repayment balance on your remaining monthly instalment until the end of your agreement, while excluding any interest you would owe for each individual payment. Any missed payments will then be added to this total, along with any early repayment fees, plus interest, before the final figure is sent to you in writing.
Some customers apply in the morning, and collect their car the same day. Usually people will collect within a day or two of the initial application, equally some customers are not able to collect for a period of time. It is tailored to your circumstances and we will always provide adequate explanation if there is a delay our side.
In most cases yes. The dealer needs to have the correct licence to process finance sales, most dealers do have this, and they will need to be happy to receive funds from us, again, most dealers are more than happy to do this. We cannot fund private sales, or from dealers who are not licenced properly unless you qualify for a personal loan with us.
Car finance interest is essentially the amount you'll pay the lender to loan the money. Interest rates are based on numerous factors, such as the price of the car, your credit rating, finance type, and your current financial situation, and dictates how much extra you'll pay for finance instead of buying the car outright.
