Related FAQs
Will applying affect my credit score?
When you apply for finance, we will complete a hard search of your credit file. There are no exact formulas, but it may cause a minimal reduction in your credit score. It would likely have a more significant impact if you were to apply for finance several times with the same or different lenders in a short period of time.
How long does the application process take?
Your Honda retailer can guide you through the application process and if you have all the relevant information to hand, it shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes to complete.
What happens after I apply?
Once your application has been submitted, we often give you an immediate decision, but we always aim to respond within two hours. Sometimes we may request additional information to support your application and this may mean it takes slightly longer. Evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays may mean it takes a little longer. Once your finance has been approved and the delivery of your car is scheduled, we will email a link for you to read and electronically sign your finance agreement.
Can I apply for used car finance?
Yes, we offer finance for used cars sold through Honda retailers. Your Honda retailer will be able to guide you through the process.
