Welcome to Leicester road sign

Based in Leicester? You’ve probably noticed the cost of getting (and keeping) a car has crept up in recent years. From higher petrol prices to the rising cost of living, saving enough to buy a vehicle outright can feel like an uphill climb. Car finance in Leicester offers a way to spread that cost into affordable monthly payments, without the strain of a big upfront bill.

My Car Credit makes it easy for Leicester drivers to secure the right finance deal from the comfort of their own home.

We work with a wide panel of lenders, so you’re not tied to one provider’s rates. Whether your credit history is spotless, patchy or practically non-existent, we’ll help you find a solution that fits your circumstances, without the pressure of sitting across from a salesperson in a dealership off Narborough Road.

A quick guide to car finance in Leicester

Leicester car finance​ allows you to enjoy your next vehicle straight away while paying for it over an agreed term. Instead of relying on a single in-house finance option at a dealership, My Car Credit compares offers from multiple lenders to match you with the one that suits you best.

It’s a flexible approach that works whether you’re buying from a local Leicester dealer, like those on Abbey Lane and Melton Road, or searching for your ideal car further afield. You can even arrange finance before shopping, so you know your budget before the test drive.
