What is car finance?
Car finance lets you spread the cost of a car over monthly payments instead of paying for it all at once. You usually pay a deposit, then a fixed amount each month for an agreed term, normally between two and five years.
We arrange finance on new and used cars through a panel of lenders, including the manufacturers' own finance companies. Our team will explain each option in plain English, show you the total cost before you commit, and handle the paperwork.
Find the best finance option for you.
There are several different types of finance options, each offering slightly different benefits depending on the driver.

What are the benefits of applying for Car Finance through a dealership?
We work with our finance lending partners to provide you the flexibility to build your own bespoke payment plans that fit your lifestyle. Monthly payments, deposit and annual mileage are agreed and fixed over a set term (typically 36 or 48 months), meaning there’s no fluctuating costs, even if the market value of the vehicle increases during this period.
We’ll work on your finance plan with one of our lending partners, making it easier for you to create a personalised finance agreement without the hassle of searching for the right lender.
- We take care of all the paperwork on your behalf allowing us to process your order quicker than a traditional loan.
- You can often get approved for finance on the same day you apply.
- Finance packages arranged by us are designed specifically for car finance products, making them more appropriate than a generic loan.
- The vehicle acts as the security for the finance, meaning additional forms of credit remain open to you for other purchases.
- We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010).

Commonly Asked Questions
Below are some of the most frequent questions we get about car finance. Got a question that's not listed below? Complete the online contact form at the bottom of the page and we'll get a member of the team to get in touch.
The honest answer is that it depends on the person. Some people love the idea of buying their cars outright and enjoying total ownership. But other customers are looking at their car needs through the lens of a monthly subscription, much like they do with their mobile phone plans, gym memberships, or streaming services.
For many, having the savings to buy a new vehicle outright isn't quite feasible, and that's where car finance comes in. It opens a world of possibilities, making the latest models accessible to a much wider range of customers.
To qualify for financing on a vehicle, you need to be at least 18 years old and have a full UK driving licence. A good credit rating is also preferable for all finance agreements. Speak to one of our team to discuss this further.
Sub-prime finance is not guaranteed and may cost more than finance provided by a prime lender. We will try to obtain finance for you but there is no guarantee. It may be from a sub-prime lender, and if so, the cost of finance may likely be at a higher rate than prime lenders offer.
There are a few online platforms where you can check your credit rating with finance lenders. We can also do a ‘soft credit check’ which is a partial background check that provides a quick answer about your eligibility. The great thing is that soft checks won’t affect your credit score like some ‘hard credit checks’ might, so there is no disadvantage to performing one.
APR, or Annual Percentage Rate, is the interest you pay each year on money borrowed from a lender. In Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreements, APR interest rates are included in the overall vehicle costs, which is why you’ll notice a difference between the initial 'Cash Price' and the 'Total Amount Payable' at the end of the agreement. Some PCP deals offer 0% APR meaning you won't have to pay any interest when financing your vehicle!
We do not include insurance with our finance packages. While some manufacturers may occasionally offer free servicing or other perks, our finance deals mainly cover the cost of the vehicle – insurance, servicing, MOTs, parts, and repairs aren’t included. That said, all our vehicles come with warranties of different lengths, and you can find more details in our dedicated warranty section.
Our website makes it easy for you to create a personalised finance deal on any of the used vehicles we have in stock. Once we confirm that your offer has been accepted, you'll receive an order confirmation via email. At that moment, a contract will be established between you, us, and the finance company for the use of your new vehicle.
We want you to feel secure, so our website is 100% secure, with payments handled by our trusted payment partner, Stripe, and its global affiliates.
You’ll be responsible for the vehicle throughout the finance agreement period. Any damage or repairs needed during this time will fall under your care.
While your car insurance can cover potential accidents, we also provide a variety of additional protection packages for your peace of mind. These include SMART Repair for any minor cosmetic scuffs or scratches, GAP Insurance to protect against any financial shortfall in insurance payouts, and Tyre & Alloy Wheel Insurance.
