Car Finance

How far would you go for the right car?

Widening your search could save thousands of pounds.

Would you travel across the country to find the perfect car?

Buying a new car is one of the biggest purchases most people will make, so it’s important to make the right decision. Whether buying a first car or trading in for a newer model, purchasing a vehicle is a big financial commitment.

So how far would you be prepared to travel to buy the right car for you?

Admiral Car Finance customers have travelled an average of 58 miles to get the car they want, but one customer went 551 miles to find the car of their dreams. If price is the main factor when car shopping, you may be willing to travel further to save a few quid. Or perhaps a hard to find spec would see you travelling across the country for your perfect car.

Our research shows that extending your shopping radius could save you nearly £10,000 on a new car.

We investigated the Audi A3, one of the most popular cars bought with Admiral Car Finance, and found savings of thousands of pounds for those willing to travel for their car.
