Driving in Darlington

A market town between the A1(M) and the A66.

Darlington is a market town with a covered market hall, the leafy South Park and a proud railway heritage on show at the Head of Steam museum. It sits just east of the A1(M), with the A66 running out to Teesside and the A167 heading north to Durham, and the Yorkshire Dales are within easy reach for a day out.

If yours is paid for and free of finance, you could borrow £1,000 to £50,000 against it. The loan is secured with a Bill of Sale rather than by taking the vehicle, so you keep the keys and carry on driving to work and around the town.

How it works in Darlington

Cars, vans and motorbikes.

We lend against cars, vans and motorbikes, so a work van or a motorbike you ride every day may qualify as well as a family car. Cars under 15 years old are more likely to be accepted. Whatever you drive, it needs to be yours and completely free of outstanding finance.

It should also be in good mechanical and cosmetic order, with valid tax, MOT and insurance. We only allow one logbook loan on a vehicle at a time. Your registration and approximate mileage are all we need to start your quote.

If you fall behind

Talk to us as early as you can. We will work with you to find a good outcome, such as 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.
