How does a personal car loan work?

A personal car loan gives you the funds to purchase a car, with repayments made in manageable instalments over an agreed term. For secured loans, the car serves as collateral, often resulting in lower interest rates. With unsecured loans, there’s no need for collateral, offering added flexibility.

Once your loan is approved, you’ll receive the funds to buy the car, and you’ll start making regular repayments. Our team will guide you through every step, so you can focus on choosing the right car.

Common Questions about Personal Car Loans

Why should I apply for a car personal loan with a broker instead of a bank?

Applying for a personal loan through a broker like us gives you access to far more options than going directly to a bank. With over 20 years of experience and partnerships with more than 40 lenders, we’re able to connect you with competitive rates and flexible loan solutions tailored to your needs.

Banks typically offer limited products, but as brokers, we can compare multiple lenders to find the right match for your unique financial situation. Our process is simple—just a few essential documents and a quick application online or by phone. Plus, our team is here to answer your questions at every stage, ensuring you feel supported from start to finish.

With thousands of 5-star reviews from satisfied customers, you can trust us to find the best loan for you, so you can drive away happy.

Are personal car loans more expensive than dealership financing?

Not necessarily. Personal car loans can often have competitive rates, especially if you’re working with a broker like us. Dealership financing may seem convenient, but it often comes with higher interest rates or hidden fees. A personal car loan gives you more control and transparency over the terms.

What happens to my credit score if I take out a personal loan for a car?

Taking out a personal loan can affect your credit score positively or negatively, depending on how you manage it. Making repayments on time will improve your credit score, while missed or late payments can harm it. It’s important to choose a loan that fits your budget, and we’re here to help you find the right one.

How does the repayment flexibility of personal loans compare to other types of car loans?

Personal loans often offer more flexibility, with options for secured or unsecured loans, fixed or variable interest rates, and terms tailored to your financial situation. This flexibility makes them a great option for people who need a loan that can adapt to their needs.

Are there penalties for paying off a personal car loan early?

Some personal car loans may include early repayment fees, but this depends on the lender. Our team will help you understand any potential penalties upfront, so you can make the best decision for your circumstances.

Is it worth taking out a personal loan for a used car or a private seller purchase?

Yes, a personal loan can be a great option for buying a used car or purchasing from a private seller. It gives you the freedom to buy the car you want, without being tied to dealership financing. Plus, we can help you secure a loan with competitive rates tailored to your budget.

How do repayments work with a personal loan for a car?

Repayments for a personal loan are typically made at regular intervals—weekly, fortnightly, or monthly—depending on your preferences and loan terms. Each repayment includes a portion of the loan principal and interest. During the application process, we’ll work with you to set up a schedule that fits your budget, ensuring your repayments are manageable and predictable.

What is the difference between fixed and variable interest rates for personal loans?

A fixed interest rate stays the same throughout your loan term, giving you stability and making it easier to budget. You’ll know exactly how much you’re paying each month, which provides peace of mind and reduces financial risk.

A variable interest rate, on the other hand, can change depending on market conditions. While variable rates often start lower, they may increase over time, potentially raising your repayments. However, if market rates drop, you could save money.

At Credit One, we offer a range of fixed and variable rate options. Our team will help you weigh up the pros and cons to choose the best fit for your needs and financial goals.

What is the difference between an unsecured personal loan and a secured personal loan?

A secured personal loan requires collateral, such as the car you’re purchasing, which can result in lower interest rates. An unsecured personal loan doesn’t require collateral, offering more flexibility but typically at higher interest rates. Both options have their advantages, and we’ll help you choose the best fit for your needs.
