Bad Credit Loans

What Credit Rating Do I Need To Lease A Car?

Affording a car can be difficult, but if you’re looking to become the owner of a new vehicle, then you may have considered leasing a car or taking a loan out to cover the initial expense. The team at Evolution Money are here to help you get behind the wheel whether you’re hoping to finance a brand new car, purchase a second-hand vehicle or even carry out repairs on your current vehicle.

Discover what credit rating you need to lease a car, and how Evolution Money can help you reach your financial goal despite bad credit.

How does Car Leasing Work?

Usually, when financing a car, people can choose from Personal Contract Hire (PCH) and Personal Contract Purchase (PCP). Essentially both options allow you to rent the vehicle long-term through fixed monthly payments over an agreed amount of time.

In order to lease a car, the provider will require you to pass a credit rating check. The better your credit score, the more likely you are to secure a more competitive rate of interest. It’s also crucial that you are able to afford your agreed repayments and that you understand the terms and conditions of your lease before committing.

What Is Considered A Good Credit Rating?

It can be difficult to determine what credit rating you’ll need to lease a car as different lenders and finance companies have their own measure of what is considered a good credit rating.

Your credit rating can be found on your credit file, which keeps information on your financial situation and credit history, including any missed payments, debts and financial decisions made over the past six years.

To check your credit rating, you may need to request your full details from one of the UK’s three main credit reference agencies. 420 out of 700 is a good credit rating according to Equifax, Experian considers 880 out of 999 as a good credit rating, and TransUnion considers 700 and 749 a good rating. Usually, if your credit agency considers your credit score as good, then so will your potential lender.

However, a good credit rating will not guarantee you’ll be able to lease a car, or that you’ll receive the most competitive rates of interest. Before making any financial commitment, you should first research all your borrowing options and ensure that you understand all the necessary terms and conditions and are able to afford the repayments.

There are plenty of advantages to using a bad credit loan to finance large purchases such as a car.

With a secured loan from Evolution Money, there is no age-restriction on the model of the car you choose to lease or buy, and you don’t need to reveal any details for the vehicle or have even chosen one yet!

Plus, if you’ve been refused a loan in the past with a bad credit loan you still may be able to borrow the amount of money you require and be cruising from A to B in no time.
