Driving in Peterborough
A city built around its parkways.
Peterborough was planned for the car. Parkways such as the Soke Parkway and Bourges Boulevard link Bretton, Orton, Werrington and Hampton with the centre, and the A1(M) and A47 are never far away. For many households, a vehicle is simply how the week works.
Beyond the ring road, the Fens open up towards Whittlesey and March, Stamford is a short drive west, and plenty of people commute out to Huntingdon or Cambridge. Public transport covers the centre well, but not every shift pattern or village road.
How it works in Peterborough
No branch to visit, and nothing to post.
You apply online, whenever suits you. An underwriter usually calls within 2 working hours to talk through your application and what you can comfortably afford. We are a direct lender, not a broker, so you deal with us from start to finish.
After approval, a signing agent usually visits within 3 working hours to witness the Bill of Sale and photograph you with your vehicle. Most loans are usually complete within 24 working hours, with the money paid by bank transfer.
What you can borrow against
Cars, vans and motorbikes you own.
Your vehicle must be yours, free of finance, insured and taxed. We lend against cars, vans and motorbikes, and cars under 15 years old are more likely to be accepted. You keep it and carry on driving throughout.
How much you can borrow depends on the value of the vehicle and what you can afford to repay, not on where in Peterborough you live. A soft search shows your options first and does not affect your credit score.
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 Peterborough 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.
Can I apply from Stamford, Whittlesey or elsewhere in Cambridgeshire?
Yes. Everything is done online and by phone, so your postcode does not change what we can offer. The amount depends on your vehicle's value and what you can afford, and a signing agent visits you to witness the Bill of Sale.
Do I need to visit an office in Peterborough?
No. We have no branch to visit. You apply online, an underwriter usually calls within 2 working hours, and a signing agent comes to you after approval.
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).
