If you're new to financing a vehicle, our beginner's guide to car finance explains the basics, including how agreements work and what to consider before applying.
All finance is subject to status, affordability and lender criteria. Approval is not guaranteed.
There are several types of car finance available in Bristol, and the most suitable option will depend on factors such as your budget, the vehicle you choose and whether you want to own the car at the end of the agreement.
Hire Purchase car finance, commonly known as HP, allows you to spread the cost of a vehicle through regular monthly repayments over an agreed term.
With HP:
HP car finance in Bristol may appeal to drivers who want predictable monthly repayments and a straightforward route to owning their car.
Not sure how HP compares with other finance types? Read our PCP vs HP guide for a breakdown of the main differences.
Personal Contract Purchase car finance, commonly known as PCP, works differently from HP because part of the vehicle's value is deferred until the end of the agreement.
This can mean monthly repayments are lower than an equivalent HP agreement, although the exact cost will depend on the vehicle, deposit, term, APR and agreement.
At the end of a PCP agreement, you will generally have several options:
Mileage limits, vehicle condition requirements and other terms can apply.
If you're comparing PCP finance in Bristol with HP, look beyond the monthly repayment and consider the deposit, APR, mileage allowance, optional final payment and total amount repayable.
For a more detailed breakdown, read our guide to how PCP car finance works.
You don't need to buy a brand-new vehicle to use car finance.
Used car finance can help you spread the cost of an eligible second-hand vehicle over an agreed period.
This means customers looking for used cars on finance in Bristol may be able to choose a suitable vehicle from a reputable dealer, subject to lender, dealer and vehicle criteria.
The vehicle you choose will need to meet the relevant finance provider's requirements before funding can be finalised.
If you're considering buying second-hand, our guide to getting car finance for a used car explains how used vehicle finance works and what you may need to consider.
Some finance providers may offer no deposit car finance to eligible applicants.
A £0 deposit car finance Bristol option allows you to apply without providing an upfront deposit towards the vehicle.
However, borrowing more of the vehicle's purchase price can affect your monthly repayments and the total amount repayable, so it's important to consider the overall cost rather than the upfront payment alone.
No-deposit car finance is subject to full credit checks, affordability assessments and individual lender criteria. It is also different from 0% APR car finance.
If avoiding an upfront payment is important to you, our guide to getting car finance without a deposit explains how these agreements work.
Looking for car finance in Bristol with a less-than-perfect credit history?
Previous credit problems don't automatically prevent you from applying for finance. Bad credit car finance may be available to applicants with a range of credit histories, depending on their current circumstances and the finance provider's criteria.
When assessing an application, lenders may consider more than your credit score. Factors can include:
Some lenders may also consider applications from people who have experienced missed payments, defaults or County Court Judgments (CCJs).
If a CCJ forms part of your credit history, our guide to applying for car finance with a CCJ or bankruptcy explains some of the factors finance providers may consider.
Every application is assessed individually, so bad credit car finance in Bristol cannot be guaranteed.
Our initial eligibility process uses a soft credit search, so checking your options with carloans 365 won't affect your credit score. If you decide to proceed, the lender may complete further checks, including a hard credit search, before the finance agreement becomes active.
