Do I need a guarantor for car finance?
Having a guarantor on your car finance may sound appealing if you have bad credit, but you don’t need one to get car finance. There are lenders like Moneybarn that specialise in bad credit without needing a guarantor. Needing a guarantor for car finance is less common nowadays, and if you have bad credit, we might be able to help you.
We do not offer the option of having a guarantor, because we specialise in helping people with bad credit.
Can I get car finance without a guarantor?
We have over 30 years of experience helping people up and down the UK onto a better road ahead. Just because you have bad credit doesn’t mean that you can’t get car finance, it just might make it more difficult to get approved.
We offer a Conditional Sale agreement. This is where we pay the dealership for your new car, and you make monthly repayments until the finance is paid off. This means you have full use of the car and are responsible for maintaining it, but you won’t legally own it until you make your final repayment.
When you know what you’d like to borrow and for how long, applying with us should be quick and easy, even if you are worried that you have really bad credit. We use a soft credit check which doesn’t affect your credit score.
It should only take 5 minutes to fill out our online application, and it will give you an instant decision as to whether or not we can help.

Because of my CCJ, my credit score was affected massively and I just thought I wouldn’t be able to get a car on finance as nobody would accept me. I’ve seen my credit score increase since I started my agreement with Moneybarn, and I can’t recommend them highly enough – Darren.

Getting car finance without a guarantor
Applying for car finance can be exciting, but it’s important to fully understand how it works before you make an application. To the right is a diagram that shows how CS finance works.
Your eligibility will be different to everyone else. This is because we consider your personal circumstances to understand if finance is affordable for you.
Some factors that we check include:
- Income
- Address history
- Credit file
Responsible lenders will always make credit checks to make sure you can afford car finance. Some lenders use a hard check at the point of application, which will affect your score.
Our online application uses a soft credit check. This doesn’t affect your score and will tell you whether we can help you. We only use a hard check once you decide you’d like an agreement with us.
