Please rest assured that any commission paid does not impact the terms of your Hire Purchase Agreement, including the interest rate, monthly payments, or fees.

If a commission is payable, we’ll let you know upfront. We’ll explain how it’s calculated and get your consent before you sign the agreement.

Car Finance explained

characters with two cars

Car finance, or a car loan, lets you buy a car with monthly payments instead of paying the full amount upfront. When you apply directly on our website, you access our service as a direct lender. This means no middleman, making the process simpler, more affordable, and clear.

Car finance could be helpful if you have limited savings or have faced credit challenges in the past. For people who apply directly online, we offer flexible options to find the right fit for your needs.

At Go Car Credit, we focus on car finance for people with poor or limited credit history. We know that past money issues shouldn’t stop you from getting reliable transportation. Whether you’re on benefits, don’t have a deposit, or need extra support managing payments, we have options to match your situation.

Our goal is to make car ownership simple and easy to understand, helping you get back on the road with confidence.

Car Finance Options

Bad Credit Car Finance

Black Box Car Finance (Payment Reminder System)

Black box car finance, also called a car loan with a payment reminder system, helps you keep up with payments. This option is available to people who apply directly on our website. A payment reminder system is installed in your car to remind you if your car finance repayments become overdue. This is a good choice if you need extra support to manage monthly payments and stay in control of your finances.

Car Finance on Benefits

Joint car finance lets two people who live together, like partners or family, apply as a pair. This option may allow for a larger loan and better approval chances. For direct applicants, joint finance makes it easier to share payments and access car finance.

CCJ Car Finance

If you have a history of CCJs, you may still be considered for car finance when applying directly on our website.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hire Purchase Car Finance?

Hire Purchase is one of the most common types of finance, it is really simple – you hire the vehicle and make fixed monthly repayments until you have paid off all of the agreed finance.

There are no surprises at the end of your agreement such as balloon payments or mileage restrictions.

The entire car price is spread across your agreement term and once all monthly payments have been made the car becomes yours, making it one sensible option for borrowing.

Will I qualify for Car Finance with Go Car Credit?

  • • You have a full UK Driving Licence.
  • • Your income is over £1500 and paid directly into a UK bank account.
  • • You are able to provide 2 months consecutive pay slips or if self-employed, 3 months consecutive bank statements.

  • • You are not in an active bankruptcy or debt relief order.

I have got bad credit, will I still get approved?

We are specialists in providing car finance to people who have experienced bad credit in the past.

Our customers are never judged solely on their credit history. Instead, decisions are based on a blend of science and human judgement to understand whether the repayment schedule will be manageable for the customer.

This approach allows us to consider any extenuating circumstances such as a bad credit history, self-employment or any previous mortgage or council tax arrears and view you as an individual, not just a number.

Do you do guarantor car finance?

We do not offer guarantor finance, but we do help people who may have experienced problems getting finance in the past.

Can I get car finance if I am on benefits?

Yes, you could. Unlike some mainstream lenders we take benefits into consideration when reviewing your income. For more information about on this, visit our Car Finance for People on Benefits page.

Can I choose any car?

There is criteria that has to be met such as maximum mileage restrictions and maximum age of vehicle restrictions.

We can help you source the car you want from one of our reputable dealers across the UK.

All of our dealers are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

By only choosing dealers that are FCA regulated reinforces our high standards of service to our customers.

Why is your APR higher than other lenders who offer car finance?

We specialise in providing finance to individuals who have struggled to obtain credit. We charge a higher APR on our finance products because we serve the sector of the community, which are usually excluded from conventional lending and our customers are seen to be a higher risk by other lenders.

We would suggest you think about the costs associated with your choice of car such as fuel, insurance, tax, MOT, servicing and maintenance costs, as these will all have an influence on the affordability of the vehicle. The finance is secured on the vehicle, so if you don’t keep up with the monthly repayments, Go Car Credit can repossess the car. Failure to make payments can also affect your credit report.

IMPORTANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION:

Following the recent news that the FCA is investigating the use of discretionary commission arrangements, we are pleased to announce that Go Car Credit has never engaged in these type of commission arrangements. Therefore our customers are not impacted.
