Shopping for a car in Ottawa traditionally takes a lot of time. It can take even longer if you have bad credit.
And even though a lot of research can be done online these days, you usually have to leave your home at some point to test drive the car, sign paperwork, and pick up the vehicle to take home.
But not anymore. Canada Drives has made online car shopping the better way to buy and finance a vehicle!
The online solution for bad credit car loans in Ottawa
If you live close to downtown in places like Westboro, Overbrook, Alta Vista, or Carlington, there are lots of nearby dealerships to choose from, but many of these dealerships do not offer bad credit car loans in Ottawa.
If you live further outside Ottawa in places like Nepean, Kanata, Goulbourn, Ficko, or Kemptville, it can be even harder to find a dealership near you that works with bad credit customers. Why not save yourself a lot of time by focusing on the dealership or retailer that knows how to help bad credit customers?
Canada Drives is an award-winning online retailer with over a decade of experience putting happy drivers behind the wheel of their dream cars.
We believe that buying a car should be an amazing experience and loan approvals should be simple, fast, and convenient. And because we believe everyone deserves a second chance, we work with bad credit situations too. Our large network of lending partners means we can help prime and non-prime customers find great vehicles with affordable financing.

- Choose your method of payment: Complete the entire purchase online. You can pay by cash, credit card or bank draft. Or, you can finance your chosen car with your own bank or with one of our lending partners.
- Get it delivered: Once you have chosen your car you can pick a delivery date and time that fits your schedule and we’ll deliver it straight to your doorstep.
- Better than a test drive: Once you get the keys to your car, you have seven days to drive it on all your usual routes to make sure it's the right fit. If you change your mind for any reason, you can exchange the car for something else or get a refund.
