Can I Finance a Camper Van/Motorhome?

Yes, we can offer finance on campervans and motorhomes at Vendor Finance.

Types of Camper Van/Motorhome Finance:

  • Hire Purchase (HP):
    • You pay a deposit (typically 10–30%) and repay the remaining balance in fixed monthly instalments.
    • Ownership transfers to you once all payments are made.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Deposit: Most lenders require an upfront deposit, typically 10–30% of the vehicle’s value.
  • Credit Score: A good credit score improves your chances of approval and secures better rates.
  • Income Proof: You’ll need to demonstrate affordability through payslips, bank statements, or tax returns (if self-employed).
  • Age of the Vehicle: Some lenders may have restrictions on financing older motorhomes.

Documents Needed:

  • Valid ID (e.g., passport or driver’s licence).
  • Proof of address (e.g., utility bill or bank statement within the last 3 months).
  • Bank statements (covering 3–6 months).
  • Proof of income (payslips or tax returns for self-employed applicants).
  • Details of the motorhome (make, model, year, price).

Financing New vs. Used Motorhomes:

  • New Motorhomes:
    • Often financed through dealers offering partnerships with finance companies.
    • May include manufacturer incentives or promotions.
  • Used Motorhomes:
    • Many lenders finance used motorhomes, but they may have age limits or stricter conditions.
    • Ensure the vehicle is inspected and valued before applying for finance.

Key Considerations:

  • Interest Rates: Compare rates from different providers to get the best deal.
  • Repayment Terms: Longer terms reduce monthly payments but may increase overall costs.
  • Insurance: Camper vans/motorhomes require specialised insurance, which adds to your overall budget.
  • Depreciation: Consider how depreciation may affect the value of the motorhome if you plan to sell it later.
