The more hits on your credit file by different lenders, reduces your chances of a successful car loan application. As a specialist car loan broker, we can view your credit file, without making a mark on it, and help get your loan approved by the right lender for you.

A "no credit check car loan" is a type of auto financing option designed for everyday people with limited or poor credit history. Unlike traditional car loans that heavily rely on your credit score, this option evaluates factors like your income and employment stability to determine your eligibility and loan terms.
It provides an opportunity to secure a car loan even if you have a low credit score or no credit history with minimal 'hard checks' on your credit file.
Available with Bad Credit
Traditional lenders may reject loan applications based solely on a low credit score, but car loans without credit checks, consider other factors like income and employment stability, making them accessible even if you have bad credit.
Note that a credit check may still be carried out by the lender, however, the lender may consider other factors when evaluating your application.
Fast Approval Process
They often have a quicker approval process compared to traditional loans. Since they rely less on credit checks, the assessment process is often streamlined, allowing borrowers to get their applications approved quickly.
Improve Your Credit Score
Making regular, on-time payments on a car loan could actually help improve your credit profile over time. As you demonstrate responsible financial behaviour, it may have a positive impact on your credit score.
Varied Income Sources Accepted
These loans typically accept a wide range of income sources, including regular employment income, self-employment income, Centrelink payments (specific types), and other verifiable sources.
Any Vehicle Type
