What is instant decision car finance?

Instant decision car finance is when you apply for car finance and the lender gives you a decision within 60 seconds.

This means that when you get a quote for car finance, we’ll instantly let you know if you’re approved. Applying won’t affect your credit rating because we only use a soft credit search at the point of application.

When you decide you want a car finance deal with us, we’ll use a hard credit search, which will affect your credit score.

We’re a direct lender. When you get a quote, we’ll give you an instant decision for 1 of 3 outcomes:

  • You’re approved, in which case you’ll be shown what your agreement might look like and can use our handy vehicle finder tool to browse cars that fit your budget
  • You’re approved in principle, which means we’ll need some more documents to confirm your application. Our expert team will be in touch to guide you through the process
  • You’re declined. Read our car finance blog for things that might improve your approval chances

Can I get instant decision car finance online?

Getting a quote online takes less than 5 minutes and will give you an immediate decision.

When you apply, we’ll ask for the following information:

  • Personal information, like your name, date of birth, and marital status
  • Employment, e.g. your employment status, employer, and job title. We will never contact your employer
  • Income, your net monthly income (what you make each month after tax) helps us understand your affordability
  • Address history, your current address and 3 years of UK address history
  • Contact details, e.g. your mobile number and email address, so we can get in touch if you’re approved

You’ll then get an instant decision about whether we can help and how much we could lend you.
