The benefits of choosing Otto Car

No credit checks

We care about your present, not your past. Unlike other providers, we don’t run credit checks - not even soft ones. We’re here to back the private hire community, not hold you back.

Flexibility that fits your life

We’re not like the dealerships. Our flexible terms are built to fit around you, because we know life on the road can change - and we’re here to support you through it.

Extra holiday payments breaks

We offer up to 8 weeks of holiday payment breaks on our Rent to Buy plan - that's at least twice as much as most competitors, and many don’t offer any at all. Plus, you’ll pay lower admin fees to keep your car insured while you’re away.

Lower admin fees, no hidden costs

We keep our upfront and ongoing costs simple and fair - helping you keep more of what you earn, while backing you with the support you need to succeed.

I’m very happy with my plan. The customer service is pleasant, easy to work with, and the plan is really nice. Otto Car is approachable, has a better range of vehicles, and the prices of course.

I'd recommend AfterCare to other drivers, as it's less stress and hassle - it's good because I don't have to pay big money every week.

I’m on the Rent to Buy plan with Otto Car which is good. In fact, it’s more than good, and everyone is nice. I don’t ever have any difficulties.

When I first came to Otto Car, I had little hope and was going through a very difficult time - but they gave me a fresh start without a credit check. I’m truly grateful for everything.
