First Time Car Buyer Loans in Edmonton

At Driving With Us, we help customers get approved for a car loan in Edmonton — even if this is your very first time. No credit history, no problem. We have dedicated first-time buyer programs that use your income, not your credit history, to get you approved.

Can First Time Buyers Get Approved?

Yes — first time buyers get approved with us every single week. Having no credit is not the same as having bad credit. Lenders need to see that you can and will make your payments. Your job and income are the most important factors.

Why Your First Car Loan Matters

Your first car loan builds your Canadian credit score automatically. Every on-time payment is reported to Equifax and TransUnion. After 12 months of payments, your credit score can improve significantly, lowering future borrowing costs.

Choosing the Right First Vehicle

Choosing a vehicle priced around 10–15% of your annual income gives lenders confidence in your ability to repay and maximizes your approval odds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum income to qualify as a first time buyer?

Generally, lenders like to see $1,500–$2,000 per month in verifiable income. Part-time and seasonal income counts. If you are below that, contact us — we have options.

Do I need a co-signer as a first time buyer?

Not always. Many first-time buyers are approved without one. A co-signer can improve your rate but is not required.

What documents do I need?

A valid government ID, SIN, proof of income (pay stubs or employment letter), and proof of address (utility bill or bank statement).

Should I save for a down payment first?

It helps but is not required. We have $0 down programs available. Even a small down payment of $500–$1,000 can improve your approval odds and lower your monthly payment.
