Useful answers before you apply.
Should I arrange a car loan before choosing a vehicle?+
Understanding an indicative budget and comparing finance before shopping can reduce pressure at the point of sale. Final approval still depends on the selected vehicle, seller and complete application.
What is the difference between a secured and unsecured car loan?+
A secured car loan uses the vehicle as security, so the lender may repossess it if repayments are not met. An unsecured loan does not take security over that vehicle but may have different pricing, limits and eligibility.
What is a comparison rate?+
For regulated consumer loans, the comparison rate combines the interest rate with certain fees into one percentage to help compare loans of the same amount and term. It does not include every possible cost or feature.
Can I finance a used car or a car bought privately?+
Potentially. Eligibility can depend on vehicle age and condition, seller checks, valuation, invoice or sale evidence and lender policy.
What is a balloon or residual payment?+
It is a larger amount left until the end of the finance term. It may reduce regular repayments, but it increases the amount still owing at the end and can increase total interest.
Can a self-employed applicant get car finance?+
Potentially. The required evidence depends on whether the use is personal or business, trading history, entity, financial position, asset and lender policy.
