Will a car finance application have an impact on my credit rating?
Before you make a full application, you can get a car finance quote. This is a soft search, which is only visible to you and won’t affect your credit history. You can edit your quote while you’re shopping around for your new car, without affecting your credit rating. When you’ve found the car you want and applied for Admiral Car Finance, we’ll run a full credit check which will leave a hard footprint on your credit file.
Do I need to know the car reg I'm buying before getting a car finance quote?
If you're not sure which car you're going to buy, you can get an indicative car finance quote which will confirm if you’re eligible for Admiral Car Finance (subject to affordability, fraud and vehicle checks). Once you know which car you’re going to buy and can give us the car registration number, we can give you an accurate quote.
