Easy availability and variety of car loans in the UK have made it easier for UK residents to own cars. Today shopping for the best car loan has become hassle free. If you have a good credit rating, the option becomes more attractive. Car loans are also available to people with poor credit history.

Types of Car Loans

There are basically three types of car loans that are available to borrowers.

Manufacture’s Schemes: These loans are advertised by the car manufacturers. One can get these loans from the manufacturers directly or from local car dealers. The best deal about these loans is that lenders accept part exchanges on borrowers’ current vehicles. A borrower simply has to pay the remaining balance through the loan. You should, however, know that the car will be transferred to your name only after you have paid off the loan.

Hire Purchase: Under the hire purchase option in UK, the car dealer will arrange for the car loan for you, but you will be hiring the car from the dealer. The car ownership will be transferred to your name after you have paid off the loan.

Personal Loans: You can get a personal loan from any lender. You can go for general personal loans or specifically designed personal loans. Under specifically designed personal loan, a lender might offer you incentive like car insurance, emergency breakdown coverage, and discounts on car accessories. In comparison to other loans, personal loans are available at much lower interest rates.

Personal Loans

Depending on your personal circumstances, you can go for a secured or an unsecured personal car loan. For a secured personal car loan in the UK, you would have to provide collateral. A secured personal car loan is available at low interest rates, for longer repayment term, and lower monthly payment.

If you do not own a home, you can go for an unsecured personal car loan. Due to the absence of security, an unsecured car loan is available for a shorter repayment term, at higher interest rates, and higher monthly payments. However, if you have a good credit history, you can get the loan at lower interest rates.

People with bad credit history, like bankruptcies, arrears, defaults, etc are not debarred from personal car loans. In fact, these loans can help improve your credit ratings if you pay them in time. Getting personal car loans have become hassle free and quick. You can apply online and get free quotes. In order to get the best deal, it is advisable to shop around a bit.
