Is it really possible to obtain car finance on benefits?
At Stoneacre, we try to answer that question with one simple word….YES! We’re one of the dealerships who welcome car finance for people on benefits and we’ll consider all applications, regardless of your past credit history. Our lending partners look at affordability as well as income, and consider providing car finance for those on benefits.
Why shouldn’t a person on benefits enjoy the same life choices as somebody who’s working?
We don’t differentiate between people in this way and believe that car finance for people on benefits should be available. After all, there are many reasons why somebody might find themselves on benefits. This could include a period of unemployment or temporary illness which can happen to anyone.

We are a credit broker and a lender. We can introduce you to a limited number of lenders and their finance products. We will provide details of products available, but no advice or recommendation will be made. You must decide whether the finance product is right for you. We do not charge you a fee for our services. Lenders may pay commission to us (either a fixed fee or a fixed percentage of the amount you borrow) for introducing you to them, this may be calculated in reference to a variable factor such as (but not limited to) the vehicle age, your credit score and the amount you are borrowing. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions.

Guaranteed car finance on benefits
Finally, a word of caution.
Beware those finance companies or adverts promoting guaranteed car finance on benefits.
In our experience, there’s no such thing.
A reputable car finance company simply cannot legally promise guaranteed car finance on benefits. To find out why, visit our page on the perils of guaranteed car finance.
