There are many ways to receive money when buying a car, for example, car finance with no guarantor, which will partially or completely cover the cost of your purchase. A loan can also be based on your salary, an inheritance, or a dividend income.

A guarantor is a person who has a better credit score and who can vouch for you to the bank. If your credit history leaves something to be desired, you may well need a guarantor.

What can you do if your social circle does not include such a person? Carplus will come to the rescue! We have more than 20 car finance lender contacts and are ready to help. Please note that checking your chance of approval has no impact on your credit score.

What is the difference between a joint applicant and a guarantor?

A joint applicant will share your car finance with you. They take part in the signing of the agreement. As a result, the responsibility lies with both you and them. More often than not, lenders resort to such lending conditions if their requirements do not coincide with some of your characteristics.

In turn, guarantor lenders are interested only in receiving regular payments. If a person is looking for a car loan for bad credit with no guarantor, such an option exists. We are in contact with lenders who work with customers without a guarantor with the highest level of professionalism.

Can I get car finance with bad credit and no guarantor?

Yes, this is possible, but the chances of approval and lending conditions may differ. For example, if you are looking for car finance without a guarantor and have a poor history or if you’re a little older, you can face more difficulties.

However, even with a bad credit history, you can get a car loan, but you need to confirm your ability to make the monthly payments. This condition does not give complete confidence of approval, so you can always contact our experts. Our team will perform a custom search, which will not harm your credit rating.

If the search is successful, we will get in touch with the lending partner who is suitable for you. Before we perform a loan search, we will ask for your informed consent.

FAQ

Can an 18-year-old get car finance without a guarantor?

After a person turns 18, they may be eligible to apply for car finance. Nevertheless, the lack of credit history can play a role. Their chances can be increased by the presence of permanent income and employment.

Do I have to pay a deposit when applying for the no guarantor option?

The answer to this question depends on the lender. Not all lenders require a deposit. However, you can contribute part of the amount to reduce your financial burden.

Do I get guaranteed car finance without a guarantor if I have a good credit score?

Bad credit car finance with no guarantor may be less successful than a guarantor option. At the same time, there is no 100% certainty of approval, even if there is a guarantor. We hasten to assure you that our specialists will do everything so that your application is successful.

Do you do a credit check with a no guarantor option?

The procedure is not quite a “no credit check”. Therefore, yes, we do a soft credit check. This means that we check the possibility of obtaining a car loan using our tools. Your credit score is not affected in any way.
