A car loan is a personal loan taken out to purchase a new or used car.
Our car loan is an unsecured loan. This means it’s not secured against your car or any other personal assets or property.
The terms car loan and car finance are often used interchangeably. But they are different.
Our car loan is a personal loan that you take out for the purpose of purchasing a car. this is a standalone loan and it is not secured on your vehicle. You can use the funds from a personal loan to finance your car, but it’s not car finance.
Car finance refers to car-specific financial products such as:
Car finance is usually taken out through a dealership when you’re buying a car, although you can take out a separate policy. The main difference is that with car finance, you’re loaning the use of your car; with a car loan, you’re borrowing money to purchase a car outright.
For more information, read our Ultimate Guide to Financing a Used Car.
After you apply for a quote for us, we’ll let you know if you’re eligible for a loan. If you are, we’ll provide you with a guaranteed, personalised rate.
If you accept your quote, you’ll then provide your bank details and sign your loan documents, this is all done online. Before we sign the loan documents, we’ll carry out a hard credit check along with some other final checks. Once we’re happy, we’ll approve your application and transfer your funds. The money will be in your account within three working days.
Of course — you have the right to pay a personal loan back early or make an additional monthly repayment under the Consumer Credit Act. But it’s important to know that this may be subject to an early repayment charge.
