ChangeCar.com - About & Information
Effective Date: 10th January 2026
1. What ChangeCar is
ChangeCar.com is a collection of independent car ownership tools and calculators designed to help UK drivers better understand the real costs, trade-offs, and practical considerations involved in owning, running, repairing, or replacing a vehicle.
The Website focuses on common, everyday questions such as whether it makes sense to keep a car, repair it, switch fuel type, or consider alternative ownership options, using simple inputs and transparent calculations to explore different scenarios.
2. How the calculators work
Our tools use straightforward maths, assumptions, and (where relevant) commonly used industry averages. You enter inputs like mileage, fuel economy, repair quotes, finance terms, or running costs.
The tool then generates an illustrative estimate to help you compare scenarios and understand the likely impact of a decision.
Outputs are provided for general informational and illustrative purposes only and are intended to help users explore different scenarios, not to predict exact outcomes.
Actual real-world results may vary depending on a range of factors, including the specific condition and history of a vehicle, individual driving habits, local fuel, repair, and maintenance costs, as well as the terms, assumptions, and eligibility criteria applied by third-party providers such as lenders, insurers, or service providers.
You should always carry out your own independent research, verification, and due diligence before making any financial, vehicle-related, or ownership decision, and consider seeking advice from appropriately qualified professionals where necessary.
3. Privacy: what we collect (and what we don’t)
