Am I Eligible for Car Finance?

Applying for finance can be quite daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! At Hilton Garage, we aim to make the process straightforward and hassle free. Here are some of the most-frequently asked car finance questions, answered.

Am I Eligible for Car Finance?

What Age Do I Have to be to Apply for Car Finance?

If you are over 18 years old, you will be able to apply for car finance.

What Nationality Do I Have to be to Apply for Car Finance?

You can apply for finance in the UK regardless of your nationality, as long as you have a credit history in the UK.

Can I Apply for Finance if I Do Not Work?

When you make an application for car finance, you will be required to provide evidence of your annual income. Your chances of acceptance will be lower if you are not in full-time employment because there is a greater risk of you not being able to make your monthly repayments from the perspective of finance companies, but your application will be considered.

What Car Finance Types am I Eligible For?

At Hilton Garage, we offer two main types of car finance, Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) and Hire Purchase (HP). These finance options are quite different and one is likely to be more suitable for you than the other, depending on your personal circumstances and preferences. Our finance specialists would be happy to talk you through the pros and cons and find which type of finance is right for you.

Can I Apply for Finance with Bad Credit?

Generally, the better your credit score, the better your chance of being accepted for car finance, but if your credit rating is poor, this doesn’t mean you have to resign yourself to defeat.

While a number of lenders refuse bad credit applications, at Hilton Gargae, we will not turn down any application without thorough consideration, and we will do everything we can to help you find an arrangement which will not put you at any financial risk.
