Our take

Oodle was founded in order to simplify car buying and ownership by providing an easy and transparent way of supplying buyers with car finance to facilitate a seamless and enjoyable customer experience.

It aims to revolutionise how people buy cars by prioritising customer needs and utilising modern technologies to update the used car market. Oodle primarily supplies loans to customers and puts them in contact with the UK's best-rated car dealers in a rapid digital procedure.

This customer-first, fully integrated digital retail experience is backed by powerful algorithms, their proprietary loan technology, machine learning, and Big Data infrastructure.

Oodle now has branches in Oxford, Manchester, and London, acquiring Carsnip in December 2018 to become their go-to car search engine provider.
