Representative Example: Borrow £7,000 with £1,000 deposit over 48 months with a representative APR of 17.9%, monthly payment would be £171.83, with a total cost of credit of £2,247.83 and a total amount payable of £8,247.83. CarMoney Limited can introduce you to a limited number of finance providers based on your credit rating and we will receive a commission for such introductions this can either be a % of the amount borrowed or a flat fee. This does not influence the interest rate you’re offered in any way. CarMoney is a broker not a lender.

Benefits
- Higher Chance of Approval: If you choose a guarantor for car finance, the chances the loan will be approved increases. If the primary borrower has a low credit score or no credit history, lenders might be hesitant to approve the loan. However, having a guarantor with a strong credit history and stable financial standing can reduce the lender’s risk, making them more inclined to approve the loan application.
- Better Interest Rates: The guarantor’s stronger credit score can also make it easier to find loans with lower interest rates. Guarantor car finance can significantly reduce monthly payments and the overall cost of the loan for the borrower.
- Opportunity to Build Credit: For borrowers who are new to credit or aiming to rebuild their credit, having a guarantor can serve as an opportunity to establish a positive credit history. Keeping up with payments on the guarantor car loan can reflect positively on both the borrower’s and the guarantor’s credit reports.
- Access to a Higher Loan Amount: With a guarantor, the primary borrower may be eligible for a higher loan amount than they would have qualified for on their own. This can be particularly beneficial if you need to buy a larger, or more expensive, vehicle.
- Assistance for Young Drivers: If you have yet to establish a credit history, it can be challenging to secure car finance. With a guarantor in place (usually a parent or guardian) can help obtain the car loan and drive towards financial independence.
- More Options for the Borrower: Having a guarantor will likely mean the borrower will have more lenders offering them better rates, giving more choice to the borrower.
Cons:
- Financial Responsibility: The main potential downside of guarantor car finance is that the guarantor becomes financially responsible for the loan if the borrower is unable to make payments. If the borrower defaults, the guarantor’s credit score could be negatively impacted, and they would be legally obligated to repay the remaining loan balance. Of course, this isn’t an issue if the borrower continues to make payments.
- Impact on Relationships: Money is one of the main causes of arguments. And acting as a guarantor can strain relationships, even within families.
- Impact on Guarantor’s Credit: If the borrower misses payments or defaults on the loan, the guarantor’s credit score can suffer. Late payments or defaults will be reported on both the borrower’s and the guarantor’s credit reports.
- Limited Financial Flexibility: Acting as a guarantor can limit the financial flexibility of the co-signer. Lenders may consider the guarantor’s existing financial obligations and credit exposure, potentially affecting their ability to obtain additional credit for their own needs.
- Potential Legal Consequences: In cases of loan default, the lender may pursue legal action against both the borrower and the guarantor to recover the outstanding debt. This could result in legal fees, court proceedings, and additional financial stress.
- Dependency on Guarantor: For the primary borrower, relying on a guarantor might prevent them from developing a sense of financial responsibility. However, the opposite can be true – some borrowers will be motivated to continue paying off the loan simply so the guarantor doesn’t have to.
Choosing guarantor car finance may increase your options if you have a bad credit rating.
If you have a history of missed payments, lenders may ask for a guarantor – this is someone who co-signs the loan agreement with the primary borrower, essentially agreeing to take on the financial responsibility if the borrower defaults on the payments.
A guarantor car loan can have benefits, but it may not be right for you and your individual circumstances. Nikki the Ninja will take you through the pros and cons of choosing car finance with a guarantor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need a guarantor for car finance?
It is only sometimes necessary to have a guarantor for car finance. You may need to pay a higher interest rate or make a larger deposit if you don’t have one. Exploring different quotes, considering opting for a secured loan, and obtaining pre-approval before beginning your car shopping journey is a good idea.
Can I get car finance if I’m a student?
Students may find it more challenging to secure car finance due to their limited income and credit history. However, some lenders offer specific student car finance options. Having a regular income source or a guarantor can also improve your eligibility.
Can I use a guarantor to get motorbike finance with bad credit?
Yes, some lenders may allow you to use a cosigner with good credit to improve your chances of approval for a motorbike loan. A cosigner agrees to be legally responsible for the loan if you default. This can make you a more attractive borrower to lenders, as it reduces their risk.
Can I include a co-signer or guarantor to improve my chances of approval?
Yes, having a co-signer or guarantor with a good credit history can improve your chances of getting approved for car finance and lead to more favourable terms. A co-signer or guarantor is someone who agrees to be responsible for the loan if you default. This can make lenders more likely to approve you for a loan, even if you have a poor credit history. Additionally, having a co-signer or guarantor with a good credit history can help you get a lower interest rate and better terms on your loan.
