Prequalification with Affirm means that Affirm considers you a suitable candidate to take out a loan based on the information you have provided.
It's also a way to find out how much you can sensibly spend so that you're within your budget. When you use Affirm to pay for travel via the Alternative Airlines website, you will see the amount that will be required to pay each month for each car rental.
Affirm will analyse how much you can borrow to pay off your car rental purchase, which is also known as a credit check. You will be given an estimated amount that you will have to pay back per month for your rentals. The process doesn't take long and doesn't affect your credit.
If you're buying car rentals with Alternative Airlines through the Affirm app, the prequalification process will go through a virtual card.
There are a few ways to find out if you prequalify to take out a loan for travel with Affirm: you can either select the 'See if you qualify' button through the app or through the online process. Another way is by clicking on the blue "i" icon at the Alternative Airlines' online checkout.
