Unlike a personal loan, there are no credit searches involved with applying for car finance. However, we’ll check your income and any existing financial commitments you may have for affordability.
With a HP agreement the debt is secured against the car. In the event that you were unable to make the monthly repayments, the car would be repossessed to offset the remaining payments.
There’s some restrictions depending on the make, model, age and mileage of the car. As part of your quote we’ll ask you to enter the details for the car you want to buy. You’ll get an immediate decision on if it’s possible to take car finance out.
Please note: If you’re looking to finance commercial vehicles, vans, motorcycles, caravans or motorhomes, a personal loan may be more appropriate.
We currently don’t offer a part exchange service as part of Halifax Car Finance. However, it may be possible to arrange a part-exchange directly with the dealership. If the dealership agree the part-exchange this would be reflected in the final price you agree with them for the new car. We would then pay the agreed amount directly to the dealership as normal.
We work with the majority of car dealerships in the United Kingdom. During your car finance application you will be able to search by location or post code for your car dealership.

Once you’ve agreed the sale with the car dealership, you’ll need to sign in to Online Banking. You’ll need to enter the bank details of the dealership and the final agreed amount to complete the finance agreement. Then sign the legal documents online.
