The rate you pay depends on your circumstances, loan amount and term and may differ from the Representative APR. We will never offer you a rate exceeding 29.9% p.a. (fixed), regardless of loan size. This means you're not guaranteed to get the rate you see in the calculator.

Things to consider before buying a car

Think about all the costs involved with your car

It’s easy to focus on the car price, but you might also want to set aside some of your loan to get your car ready for the road. Keep in mind:

  • The costs of any repairs that might be needed
  • The car running costs such as breakdown cover or MOT.
  • The costs of paperwork like car insurance or registration.

For more information read our guide to buying a car.

When you apply for a loan, based on your circumstances, we might give you the option to defer your first repayment. 

  • It's only available at the start of your loan term
  • You can defer your first loan repayment for a three month period
  • If this option is available, we'll show the details of your repayment holiday at the quote stage of your application
