Get my personalised quoteA quote is a quick, personalised estimate of your car loan interest rate and repayments based on basic information you provide. It’s an obligation-free quote, doesn't impact your credit score, and helps you understand if you qualify for a car loan.
An application is a formal request for a loan. It involves providing more detailed information and supporting documents. Once submitted, your application goes through a full credit assessment.
You can apply online or book a chat with one of our car lending specialists who can guide you through our process or answer any questions you may have.
At loans.com.au, we offer car loans from either 3 to 7 years.
The amount you can borrow depends on your income, expenses, credit profile, and the cost of the vehicle. You can use our calculators to understand your borrowing capacity and what your repayments could be.
You certainly can! A balloon payment is a one-off lump sum that you might agree to pay your lender at the end of your car loan term.
This one-off final payment will account for a large proportion of your car loan so your regular car loan repayments can be reduced as a result.
It’s important to note - the balloon repayment option is only available if you get a fixed car loan, and will not be available for the variable car loan.
Dealership finance is a loan offered by car dealerships with the enticement of being able to drive away in your new car sooner. Car loan rates from the dealership can often be higher than if you'd arranged your finance with a lender beforehand, and online lenders like loans.com.au can often offer lower rates than traditional lenders. Dealership finance almost always requires a balloon payment at the end of the finance period. Financing is also often restricted to new vehicles, whereas car loan lenders approve new and used cars.

Meet Mandi, an amazing customer of ours who came to us when she needed a car after relocating to Australia.
After recently moving from New Zealand to Australia, Mandi and her family needed a reliable vehicle to settle into their new life.
They were looking for something fuel-efficient, well-priced, and practical, with an intuitive navigation system, especially since buying a car in Australia was a very different experience compared to back home.

I had never owned a car before, but when my son arrived, I knew it was time to buy. After some shopping around, I found a new Toyota RAV-4 hybrid at a dealer and decided to buy it.
I walked out of the dealer and Googled other car lenders. loans.com.au came up and I saw they had a much better interest rate.
