Flexible Vehicle Finance, Built Around You!

The Oxford definition of finance is 'provide funding for a person or enterprise'. That's what vehicle finance is - funding for a person or enterprise, e.g. limited company, self employed. The funds are then used to purchase a vehicle.

Vehicle finance helps spread the cost of the purchase of a new or used vehicle, instead of paying the amount in full upfront you pay over a number of months making the purchase much more manageable. 

There are multiple ways to pay for a vehicle on finance, these agreements are; Hire Purchase (HP), Lease Purchase (LP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP). Each of these products works a little differently, but essentially the finance company will buy the vehicle on your behalf and you will repay the value of the vehicle plus interest.

To put it simply as a finance broker we are the middle man between you, the customer and our lenders. We work with a panel of lenders which allows us to find a range of different financial solutions for a range of different circumstances. 

We are experts in our field and our primary aim is to get you the best finance deal. 

One of the main advantages of financing a vehicle is not having to pay a large sum of money.  

In reality, we don’t all have access to a large sum of money to pay for a vehicle in cash. Financing allows you to spread the cost over many months making it more affordable. 

Another advantage is being able to get a better vehicle. Due to being able to pay off the vehicle over many months, you may find it within your budget to get a more expensive better-quality vehicle. Getting a better quality vehicle could reduce expenses in the long run.

A lender decides how much they will let you borrow by doing what is called an affordability check. Generally, they will review how much your earn (income) and how much you spend on regular payments such as mortgage/rent and bills. The more disposable income you have the more likely you are to be able to afford a vehicle repayment. 

Vehicle finance is a big commitment that can last for many years, affordability checks can help ensure that a monthly vehicle repayment won’t lead you into debts or make it hard for you to cover other expenses. 

Asking affordability questions is part of being a responsible lender, a lender wants you to be able to keep to the monthly repayment so will never lend you more money than you can afford to pay back. 

You generally have to be over 18 to get vehicle finance and have an income, however, each lender has different criteria. As a finance broker at Motor Loans R Us, we work with a wide range of lenders. Here’s a general list of what our lenders accept.
