Car finance is simply a credit agreement between you and a lender. This agreement lets you pay for a car in monthly instalments. This means that you can borrow money from a lender to pay for the car and then repay the amount borrowed with interest to the finance company.
Purchasing a new or used car is a big step financially so it’s important to consider all car finance options available.
The main types of car finance are:
PCP is a type of car finance plan enabling you to make affordable monthly payments over an agreed contract length, with a larger (optional) final ‘balloon’ payment due at the end. The balloon payment is only due if you want to buy the car outright. PCP might be best for you if you’re thinking of changing your car every couple of years, or if you’re unsure about whether you’ll want to buy the car at the end of the term or not.
Carmoola does not currently offer PCP.
Another option that can work well for customers who have an incredibly high credit rating is to take a personal loan. These loans are often unsecured, and may be available through your bank. When applying for a personal loan, you don't need to share details about the car you're buying. You'll get a finance offer from your bank based on what they believe you can afford to borrow, and comfortably repay. Carmoola does not offer personal loans.
If you're thinking about getting car finance, it's good to get an idea of how much you might be able to borrow, and what that would cost each month. We've created a handy car finance calculator where you can play around with your monthly loan payments, loan amount, and contract length.

Credit score is not the only factor that determines whether you can get car finance or not. We'll also review your affordability, run fraud checks, and need to see your full driving licence. The best thing to do is start an application to get your budget, where we'll only run a soft credit search, and see if you're accepted! A soft credit search doesn't impact your credit score at all, so you've got nothing to lose!
When you start your application to get your budget, we'll review your income and expenditure, and let you know how much you can borrow. With Carmoola, we'll provide you a range of how much you can borrow. For example, from £2,000 to £10,000. You've then got the flexibility to choose the exact amount depending on what's right for you.
