Bought my first ever car recently. From the start till the very end the service was immense. They held my application until I passed my test, they were lovely when I passed and progressed this further. From the moment I signed the contract to delivery at my address in Manchester it took 1 week due to the delivery company’s availability. The car is perfect condition and everything I have ever wanted. Their communication is quick. Will be back for my next car. Thanks so much x x

Easily the most straight forward car purchase I’ve ever done. Popped in on a Saturday afternoon after seeing the car advertised on Auto Trader, realised it was viewing by appointment only - gave them a call and the sales lady came within 5 minutes - even with absolutely no notice from me. Had a test drive in the car there and then. Took the rest of the weekend to decide if I was going to buy it or not….rang Monday and agreed to buy. Picked the car up as soon as I could afterwards. Sorting out the paperwork was hassle free. Drove away in my new car perfectly happy, less than 15 minutes after arriving to collect. There was no hard-sell from the sales team. I felt absolutely no pressure from them to buy the car that Saturday afternoon after the test drive and they were more than happy to leave it at that when I said I wanted to “think about it”. Very pleased with everything. The car is absolutely perfect so far.

Excellent experience with this company. The sale and handover was professional and kept up to date with progress and communication was great. Both Chris and Duncan was very helpful with a repair that needed doing under warranty, understanding and dealt with very quickly, providing a courtesy car and advised to check the repair was to standard before driving away. Highly recommended. Thanks guys.

Great company. Great experience. Great range of car's to choose from. They found me a finance company willing to take me on with bad credit, with a low monthly rate. Chris who dealt things for me, was brilliant. Enjoyed my test drive. From start to finish, it only took around 5 days. I would definitely recommend GET A BETTER CAR to my family and friends, which I have done. Thanks so much Chris, I'm really enjoying my new car. 😁
Get A Better Car are Nottingham’s finance specialists. We deal with every bad credit car finance provider in the U.K. to guarantee you the best chance of a bad credit car finance approval as well as making sure you get the best rate available for your personal credit rating. Give us 2-3 working hours and we’ll get back to you with decisions from all of our car finance providers.
The finance companies we deal with specialise in offering finance to applicants with a bad credit history. They will run a credit check, conduct their own affordability assessment and use that information to decide if they are going to offer finance and at what rate. They are mostly looking to assess whether your credit file and income/expenditure check shows that you have the affordability to pay a car finance agreement right now.
Most of our car loan providers ask for 2 things – proof of driving licence which is sometimes a picture of your driving licence and sometimes a DVLA check, the other thing they will ask for is proof of income, which is usually either payslips or completion of an open banking link.
Open Banking is a way to securely send your bank statements to car loan companies, all you need to do is click on the link, log into your online banking and then give permission for the finance company to view your bank statements. As this is a digital process, a lot of finance companies use automation to check the bank statements making this process much quicker than sending payslips or bank statements.
A soft search means that a finance company checks your credit but does not publish the credit search on your credit report. The number of searches on your credit can have an impact on your ability to get finance, so getting a soft search is a no impact way to apply for car finance. If you decide to move forward with an approval then the finance provider will then publish their search on your credit report. So, if you apply for car finance with us, there is no impact on your credit rating.
No. You must pass the finance company’s credit and affordability checks. They need to deem that you have the affordability to afford the repayments and running costs of the car now and for the duration of the finance agreement.
You can apply for finance if you have a full driving licence and receive income of more than £1000 each month. If you do not have a full driving licence, you can apply jointly with someone at the same address that does.
You are under no obligation to proceed with your approval after you apply for car finance and our finance providers use soft search so there is no impact on your credit score for applying. You only become obligated to anything once you have signed a finance agreement AND come in to collect a car.
We have direct links to 2 brokers and a further 5 lenders giving us a total panel of 15 fair and bad credit lenders.

If you have applied and been rejected before, here are some steps to help you get approved next time:
It can take a little while for companies to update your credit report once you’ve made these changes so it’s best to check on Credit Karma to see when these changes have taken effect and then re-apply.
So, if you’re wondering how to get approved for car finance, hopefully we’ve answered your question.
