What you get
One application, every option
Fill in one short form. We work every financing option available for your situation, so you never apply five times or take five credit hits.
A payment that fits
We size the loan to your real budget, not to the biggest car on the lot. A payment you can keep is the one that rebuilds your credit.
The right car, delivered to you
You choose from every vehicle in our network, wherever it sits, and we deliver it to your door. A partner dealership in our service area handles the paperwork and can walk you through optional add-ons like an extended warranty or GAP coverage, where offered. If nothing listed fits, we source one for your situation.

Questions people actually ask
Is usedcarnearme.ca a lender or a dealership?

Does it cost anything to apply?
No. Applying is free and there is no obligation to buy.

Will I work with a dealership?
Once there is an approval, you work with a partner dealership in the Ottawa-Gatineau region and across Atlantic Canada that fits your situation. We are not a dealership ourselves; the partner dealer handles the vehicle and the paperwork.
Can the dealer offer a warranty or GAP insurance?
Some partner dealers can offer an extended warranty and, where permitted, GAP insurance at delivery. Both are optional, sold by the dealer or its provider, and never required to get approved through us. See our guide to extended warranties and GAP insurance for how each works in your province.
