Got questions? We’ve got answers

A car loan is a type of personal loan used to purchase a vehicle. You borrow a set amount from a lender and repay it over time with interest.

Yes, personal loans are commonly used for both new and used car purchases, especially when borrowers want flexibility and trust in their lender.

Loan amounts vary by lender, but typically range from $4,000 to $120,000 depending on the type of loan you’re looking to apply for.

Dealership finance offers convenience given you can choose your car and arrange your finance in one place and often in the same day. However, it may involve higher fees and less transparency around rates and fees. Some borrowers also report poor post sale support.

Some of the most common ways Australian's finance a vehicle purchase include:

  • Secured car loan: The car serves as collateral for the loan. This typically results in a lower interest rate, but the car may be repossessed if you cannot repay the loan.
  • Unsecured car loan: No collateral required for the loan, however, this may result in a higher interest rate compared to a secured car loan.
  • Dealer finance: Finance offered directly by car dealerships.
  • Novated lease: A salary packaging option through your employer.

Yes. If you’re approved for the loan, you can shop with confidence and negotiate better deals with sellers before committing.

This will depend on the lender and the type of loan you’re applying for, but some lenders may require you to organise comprehensive car insurance prior to the loan funding. This may be especially true for a secured car loan, whereas unsecured car loans typically don’t require insurance prior to the loan funding.
