Guarantor car finance

Getting a car finance with a guarantor is a good option to obtain a vehicle when you cannot apply for a regular loan - for example, if you have bad credit.

Guarantor car finance is a type of loan where a third-party individual is involved and agrees to take over your car loan repayment if you fail to pay your balance in full. A guarantor reduces the risk for the lender, as he becomes responsible for the credit payment that you cannot make.

How does guarantor car finance work?

The process of getting guarantor car finance is similar to any other loan in the UK. When reaching an agreement with the guarantor, fill in the application form, and our specialist will process your car finance request the same way as any other. This credit does not require any upfront deposits.

Besides, you will not have to wait to get financing any longer. We work on eliminating any delays for the approval of your guarantor car finance. The decision depends on various factors, such as the guarantor’s credit rating and employment history. Typically, we get back to the applicant with a financing option for the desired car within 24 hours.

When the loan is approved, the lender is to provide the amount to the guarantor, who then transfers it to the borrower for a car purchase.

Who can be my guarantor?

When considering car finance with a guarantor in the UK, it is important to take into account the specific guarantor requirements.

• You can't have a financial link with your guarantor; other than that, you can pick any family member, colleague, or friend.
• Your guarantor will have to provide documents on bank details, ID, or credit history and rate.
• To be eligible, the guarantor has to be from 18 to 75 years old as well as have a good credit score and debt management history.
• A good guarantor has to be able to take over your responsibility and repay your full credit if you cannot.

Lenders tend to approve car finance when a guarantor owns a home or at least lives at the same address for years and delivers a good guarantor credit history.

What does a guarantor need to provide for car financing?

Lenders always perform a complete check before approval of guarantor car finance. That is why they require comprehensive data on the guarantor, such as

• Name, address, contact number
• Employment history
• Credit rating
• History of loan and debt management
• Details on any other guarantor loan
• Real estate or car in possession.

The outcome of this credit check defines your car financing eligibility.

Who might need car finance with a guarantor?

You might require car finance with a guarantor in several different cases.

1. If you have poor credit, it will have a negative impact on your options. Due to this impact, guarantor car finance will be your best choice. So, you can still get car finance with bad credit to purchase the car of your dreams.
2. Short-term loan history rating is another obstacle when it comes to getting a car financed. In this case, a guarantor can help you with both obtaining a car and building your credit score.

What will happen if I fail to keep up with my monthly repayments?

If you are unable to make your monthly loan payments, the guarantor will be obliged to do it for you. That means that he will be responsible for paying your car’s financing balance in full. However, you may be issued a County Court Judgement, which will not let you get another loan in the future.
