Car finance in London

We could help you finance a reliable car in London so you can get on with your daily life. We’ve helped thousands of customers up and down the UK, including in London, get the car they need to get around.

How to get a car on finance in London

Car finance is where you borrow money to cover the cost of your new car. You then repay the finance amount each month for the length of the agreement. Our agreements last between 36 to 60 months. Once you’ve made your final repayment, you’ll fully own the car.

We use a Conditional Sale agreement for our car finance. The main difference between CS and other finance options is that you don’t own the car until you make your final repayment, and there is no option to purchase fee or balloon payment.

To get car finance you’ll need:

  • Monthly earnings over £1,000 (after tax)
  • To be aged between 20 and 75
  • A full valid UK driving licence
  • 2 consecutive months of payslips

What to know about driving in London

In 2021, London expanded their ULEZ area to include anywhere within the north and south circular roads. This means if you are intending on driving into London, you must check to see if your vehicle is ULEZ compliant. If you vehicle is not ULEZ compliant you can still drive through London, but you will have to pay a fee.

You must also consider the Congestion Charge zone in London, which is a much smaller area but runs in a circle around Soho, Westminster and the City of London. If anyone enters this area within charging times then there is a flat charge.

It’s important to consider these charges when buying a new car if you intend to travel in and around London.

We recommend using a navigation app and allowing plenty of time for your journey. Our research found that London is the 4th slowest place in the UK, and the capital is in the top 10 for most expensive and least available parking spaces.
