Driving in Margate
A peninsula with one main way out.
Margate sits on the north coast of Thanet, with Westgate-on-Sea to the west and Cliftonville to the east, and Broadstairs and Ramsgate along the coast. The A299 Thanet Way and the A28 are the main roads out towards Canterbury and the M2.
Many people travel for work, to Canterbury, Whitstable or further, while others run vans for local trades or work in the seasonal trade on the seafront. A vehicle you own outright is a real asset in a place like this.
How it works in Margate
Everything happens online and by phone.
You do not need to visit anyone. Apply online at any time, and an underwriter usually calls within 2 working hours to go through your application. We are a direct lender, so you speak to us rather than to a broker.
A signing agent usually visits within 3 working hours of approval to witness the Bill of Sale. Loans are usually complete within 24 working hours, with money paid by bank transfer straight to your account.
What you can borrow against
Your vehicle, kept on the road.
The vehicle must be yours, free of finance, insured and taxed. We accept cars, vans and motorbikes, and cars under 15 years old are more likely to be accepted. You keep it and carry on driving.
You can borrow from £1,000 to £50,000, depending on your vehicle's value and what you can afford. If you can pay off early, you can settle at any time and receive a rebate on interest.
If you fall behind
Tell us as early as you can. We will work with you on a payment arrangement or a reduced repayment plan. Repossession is only ever a last resort.
Your car may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a loan secured against it.
Questions from Margate drivers
How quickly could I get the money?
Apply online at any time. An underwriter usually calls within 2 working hours, and the whole process is usually complete within 24 working hours. The money comes by bank transfer.
Will getting a quote affect my credit score?
No. Your quote uses a soft search, which does not affect your credit score. We only look more closely once you decide to go ahead.
Do you lend in Ramsgate and Broadstairs as well?
Yes. We lend to people across the UK. Everything is done online and by phone, and a signing agent visits you to witness the Bill of Sale, wherever you live on Thanet.
What happens if I want to repay early?
You can settle early at any time and receive a rebate on interest. Contact us to ask for your settlement figure.
Borrowing responsibly. We only lend when the repayments are affordable for you. Our service is not advised. If money is a worry, you can get free, impartial help from MoneyHelper (opens in a new tab), StepChange (opens in a new tab) or Citizens Advice (opens in a new tab).
