Short on a down payment? $0-down programs exist for qualified buyers. We match you with a dealer who offers them — before you ever apply.

A down payment helps every application, but it isn't always required. Some lenders offer $0-down or low-down financing to buyers whose income and stability carry the file. The catch is knowing which dealers run those programs. DealerLends matches you with one based on your situation — and if a small down payment would meaningfully improve your rate, we'll be straight with you about that too.

How it works

  1. 1
    Share your situation — Income, budget and whether you have any money to put down — no credit check to get matched.
  2. 2
    We find the fit — We match you to a dealer whose programs suit a low- or no-down file.
  3. 3
    See your options — The dealer shows what $0-down (or a small down) looks like for you.
  4. 4
    Decide with clear numbers — You choose the path that keeps your payment comfortable.

Still have questions? We've got you.

Everything you'd want to know before getting matched, no pressure, no obligation.

Can I really get a car loan with no down payment in Canada?
For qualified buyers, yes — some lenders offer $0-down financing when your income and stability support the loan. It's not guaranteed for everyone, which is why matching you to the right dealer matters.
Is $0 down a good idea?
It gets you into a car sooner, but financing the full price means a larger loan and more interest. Even a modest down payment lowers your payment and can improve your rate. We'll help you weigh it.
Does no down payment mean higher interest?
Sometimes. A down payment lowers the lender's risk, which can earn a better rate. If you can put a little down, it often pays for itself over the loan.
Will checking my options hurt my credit?
No. Getting matched involves no credit check. A hard inquiry only happens if you formally apply with the matched dealer.
What does it cost me?
Nothing. DealerLends is free for buyers — dealers pay us when we match them with a buyer they can help.
