Can I get guaranteed car finance in Birmingham?

No, unfortunately guaranteed car finance is a myth even if you have bad credit. Think about it this way – everyone is different. We all have different circumstances, and our credit file is the same.

No responsible dealer or lender in Birmingham will be able to guarantee you any type of finance without running the appropriate affordability and credit checks. Only once they have done these checks will they be able to tell you for definite that you can get car finance.

There are specialist lenders such as Moneybarn who could help if you have bad credit. You should be wary of anyone claiming to offer guaranteed car finance.

Can I get car finance in Birmingham with no deposit?

Whether or not you can get no deposit car finance depends on a number of factors. These include affordability and credit history.

You may be able to get car finance with no deposit, subject to affordability. However, some of our agreements may require a deposit. Our team can guide you through this process.

We’ve written a guide explaining the pros and cons of getting car finance with no deposit so you can make an informed decision.

What to know about driving in Birmingham

Birmingham is known for Gravelly Hill Interchange, or “Spaghetti Junction”. This can be a nightmare to drive around and many find it stressful. If you have to go through here, we’d advise checking your route in advance so you know which turns you need to take.

When driving through the city you will experience congestion as Birmingham is densely populated. Our study found Birmingham to be the 7th slowest city in the whole of England! Other studies such as TomTom’s Traffic Index ranked Birmingham 101st in Europe for its level of congestion, with 55 hours being lost each year stuck in congestion. It was also seen to have the 3rd most roadworks in the UK in another study we did.

Birmingham’s Clean Air Zone went live in June 2021. Before setting off on a trip to or through Birmingham, make sure that your car won’t be charged for driving through the clean air zone. The Clean Air Zone is anywhere within the city’s ring road (the A4540 Middleway Ring Road). You can use the Government’s clean air zone checker to see if the charges apply to your car or not. 

If you’re looking to get a new car on finance, have you considered going hybrid or electric? Electric cars allow for some low emission driving and usually won’t incur charges if you drive through the Clean Air Zone.

Why apply for finance with Moneybarn?

As the UK’s leading lender of specialist car, van and motorbike finance, we help thousands of drivers every month move past their credit score. We aim to make financing a vehicle as simple and seamless as possible. We offer a Conditional Sale agreement, which means you’ll legally own the car once you make your final repayment.

Our hard work has earned us many major industry awards over the years. Our most recent 2023 awards include ‘Vehicle Finance Provider of the Year’ at the MoneyAge National Credit Awards, ‘Subprime Lender of the Year’ at the Motor Finance Europe Awards, and highly commended for ‘Finance Provider of the Year (subprime)’ at the Car Dealer Magazine Power Awards.
