If you’ve faced financial difficulties in the past, don’t worry—we specialise in bad credit taxi finance and have helped countless UK taxi drivers  get behind the wheel again.

How Manual Underwriting Benefits You

Unlike many finance providers who rely on automated systems, we manually review every application. This hands-on approach allows us to take a more holistic view of your circumstances. Even if you’ve had past credit issues such as missed payments, defaults, or CCJs, our experienced team will look beyond your credit score to see if we can make the deal work.

More Flexibility:

We can approve applications that other companies might decline, especially if you have a solid deposit or show other signs of financial stability.

Second Chances:

If you’ve been turned down before, don’t lose hope. We understand that life happens, and we’re here to help you move forward.

Why a Good Deposit Helps with Bad Credit Finance

When it comes to taxi finance for bad credit, a larger deposit can significantly boost your chances of approval. It lowers the amount you need to borrow and reduces the risk for the lender, making them more likely to say “yes” to your application. Even if your credit file shows past issues, a strong deposit can demonstrate your financial responsibility moving forward.
