Do not rely on information on this website

We do not provide advice. Our aim is to become a point of support in all phases of purchasing, changing or managing your car and so we will often provide information or reviews that we believe may be helpful to you. These materials are for research and general interest only and, together with tools such as our finance eligibility checkers, should be used as a guide only and shouldn’t be relied on to make specific decisions. If you require advice on which car or services may be suitable for you, then you should consult an expert or appropriate professional who can advise on your individual circumstances.

We can’t control other sites

We want to be helpful by providing links to other services, sites or applications. But we aren’t responsible for any content, products, services, or advice you might find there, any transaction you may enter into with or through them, or how they use personal data. This includes other service providers who advertise on our website or that we provide links to: they’re independent businesses and although we’re always happy to receive and pass on feedback of any kind, only they will be able to help if something goes wrong or you have a complaint.
