Why choose Planet42

Choose the car you want

You find the car, we buy it for you. It’s that simple. Just find the used car that’s perfect for you and contact the dealership. Then they’ll submit the application on your behalf.

One simple monthly payment

Once you sign the contract and get your car, you make one monthly payment to us, which includes insurance and a tracker device.

Buy-out option

You can buy the car from us outright at any point – the buy-out price decreases every month.

We believe in you

Many banks don’t offer finance, even to qualified professionals with steady jobs. But we do.
