What we do
We explain how vehicle finance works in the UK, in plain English. Our guides cover:
- How each type of agreement works, with worked examples of the real cost
- What lenders look at, and honest guidance if you have poor credit or receive benefits
- Your rights, including paying off an agreement early or handing the vehicle back
Why we do it
Most of what you find when you search for vehicle finance is written by companies that want to sell you a deal. We’ve worked in UK vehicle finance, so we know how agreements work and where people get caught out.
This site puts the costs, risks and rights in plain view, so you can make your own decision. Read more about who we are and how we write.
