Compare car finance and loans

With Car Finance you borrow the money to buy your dream car and avoid paying upfront, but with a personal loan you could use the money to buy it from the dealer yourself.

Car Finance

We’ll pay the dealer directly so you don’t need to worry about the upfront cost.

Exclusive features
  • Obtain a quote with no credit searches.
  • Borrow from £3,000 to £60,000.
Keep in mind
  • You can’t sell the car until the finance is paid off
  • If you don’t keep up with the repayments, your car may be at risk.
Good if
  • Once accepted we pay the Dealer direct, so you can just collect the vehicle and maintain the monthly payments
  • You want to decide at the end of the term whether to keep the car or return it (return conditions apply)
  • You want extra peace of mind – we’ll work with you and the dealer to help settle any disputes.
