Are there any downsides to no deposit car finance?

Paying a deposit upfront can help with getting a car when it’s slightly outside your affordability, as it helps to reduce the monthly payments.

Getting no deposit car finance might make a car more affordable in the beginning, however it might cost you more in the long run. This is because you’ll borrow a larger amount of money to cover the cost of the car. This means you will pay back more over the duration of your agreement, as there will be more interest added.

Not putting down a deposit also means that your finance period could be longer. This means you may have to pay back more interest.

If you’re not sure about making a deposit, our team can explain the options available to you, so you can make an informed decision.

What affects my eligibility for car finance with no deposit?

Everyone is different, and so is everyone’s eligibility for car finance. There are lots of different personal factors that a lender looks at to decide whether to offer you car finance.

We’ve written a guide that explains some things you could do that might increase your chances of getting finance. Some of these are:

  • Check your credit score to see whether or not you have a good credit score
  • Only apply for finance that you know you can afford
  • Avoid making too many applications for credit in quick succession
  • Make sure you aren’t financially linked to a bad borrower

Having good credit can also improve your chances, so its worth seeing what you can do to improve your credit score. There is no particular credit score needed to get zero deposit car finance, however having good credit could help.
