Carmoola App FAQs
Here's the most frequently asked questions about how the Carmoola process works... spoiler alert... It's super easy! Got more questions? Head over to our FAQs page 👍
What do you check when I apply for car finance?
When you apply for car finance with Carmoola, we run a soft credit search (no impact on your credit score), an affordability check, and also ask you to upload your driving licence.
Finance is subject to status and is only available to mainland UK residents aged 18 and over with a full driving licence. Acceptance is subject to the vehicle meeting approval criteria. Terms and conditions apply. Borrow responsibly.
Does car finance get paid into my bank account?
No. Once you've chosen the car you'd like to purchase, Carmoola will send the funds directly to the dealership. We have 3 payment methods available.
- Bank transfer. We use Faster Payments, so the dealership will receive the funds the same day in a matter of minutes.
- For online purchases, you can use the Carmoola virtual card as if it's your own debit card.
- Apple and Google Pay. You can add the Carmoola card to your digital wallet and make a Contactless payment at the dealership.
How do I withdraw money from the app?
You don't withdraw money from Carmoola. We offer loans to put towards the car you're buying. This means once you've chosen the car, you can decide how much you'll borrow from us, and we can send those funds directly to the dealership you're buying from.
How long do Carmoola’s final checks take?
Most customers get fully approved and ready to sign within 1 to 2 working days from the time they apply. If we need anything else from you, we’ll let you know straight away.
Can I use Carmoola at any dealer?
Carmoola is accepted at over 9,000 dealerships across the UK. Here’s a list of the dealerships in our network for major UK cities.
To find an approved car dealership near you (and your dream car), head to our app.
What happens if I change my mind on the car?
If you change your mind on the car before you sign the agreement, you can update your car within 30 days.
What if I’m not happy with my budget?
Carmoola runs a credit check and assesses your affordability to find an affordable budget for you to spend on your next car. Within the app, you’ll be able to adjust your budget from £2,000 to the maximum budget that we believe is affordable to you.
Unfortunately, we're not able to increase your maximum budget. However, if you believe you've made a mistake on your application, please get in touch with our support team, and we'll try our best to help.
Is Carmoola legit?
Carmoola Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Firm Reference Number: 958057), and a member of CIFAS (the UK’s leading fraud prevention service).
