One of the common questions we encounter from retirees is, “Can I get car finance now that I’m retired?” The answer is yes. Retirement doesn’t put a full stop on your aspirations or needs, especially when it comes to mobility and the desire for a personal vehicle.

At Go Car Credit, we firmly believe that your retirement and ensuing pension should enable, not restrict, your choices.

Can I include my pension as an Income for Car finance?

A common misconception in the market is that once you’re retired, and on a pension, your ability to finance significant purchases like cars diminishes. However, what many overlook is the steady and reliable nature of a pension.

Your pension is the result of years of dedication and careful planning. Much like a regular salary, it is consistent and dependable. At Go Car Credit, we see pensions as a testament to one’s financial stability, and we ensure that it takes centre stage in our financial assessment.
