Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Logbook Loan?

A Logbook Loan is a way of withdrawing cash from your car. You can borrow up to 65% of the trade value of your car and pay it back in 18 to 60 months. You continue to remain the registered keeper and use your car as normal.

Why is a Logbook Loan a ‘quicker’ way to release cash from your car?

Your application is completed online without the need for a home visit. We invite you to sign your agreement using our e-signature facility.

What is e-sign and why is it quicker?
