We can't refinance existing Halifax, Lloyds, or Bank of Scotland car finance customers. Your quote is valid for 90 days, with no need to re-apply.
Let’s take a closer look
-
If you’d like to speak to someone about your recent car finance application, call us.
-
To refinance to us, you must have a Halifax bank account that's been open for at least 3 months.
If you don't have a bank account with us, you might want to apply for a personal loan instead.
-
Unlike a personal loan, there aren't any credit searches involved with applying for car finance. We’ll still check your income and any existing financial commitments you may have, to make sure you can afford the repayments.
With a PCP or HP agreement, the debt is secured against the car. This means if you don't make the monthly repayments, you risk us repossessing the car.
-
The car must be in your name, as the person applying for car finance will be the named registered keeper of the car. You’ll need to:
- have a valid driving licence permitting you to use the car
- be the main driver on your car insurance policy.
If you’d like someone else to use of your car, they'll need to:
- have a valid driving licence
- be a named driver on your car insurance policy.
-
This is the exact amount needed to end the agreement you have with your current lender. You’ll need to get in touch with them and ask them to send this to you. The figure will include any extra fees or charges that apply.
