Compare Car Loans Across 50+ Australian Lenders
The cheapest looking car loan isn't always the best one. We compare car loans across a panel of 50+ lenders and explain the full picture, including fees, loan term, balloon and repayment structure, so you can choose with confidence.
What To Compare Besides The Interest Rate
Comparison rate
Combines the interest rate with most fees into a single figure, which makes loans easier to compare. Always check the comparison rate, not just the headline rate.
Upfront and ongoing fees
Establishment fees, monthly account fees and dealer or origination fees can add up over the life of the loan.
Loan term
A longer term lowers each repayment but usually increases the total interest paid.
Balloon or residual
A balloon reduces your repayments now in exchange for a lump sum at the end. Make sure the final payment is realistic for you.
Early payout costs
Some loans charge break costs or early termination fees if you pay the loan out early.
Secured vs unsecured
Loans secured against the vehicle are generally priced differently from unsecured personal loans.
