Car Loan Comparison FAQs

Everything you need to know about comparing car loans in Australia.

How do I compare car loans in Australia?

To compare car loans, consider the interest rate, comparison rate (which includes fees), loan term, repayment flexibility, and any additional features like early repayment options. At Simple Loans, we do this comparison for you across 50+ banks and lenders to find the best match for your situation.

What is a comparison rate and why does it matter?

A comparison rate includes both the interest rate and most fees and charges, giving you a more accurate picture of the true cost of a loan. It's required by law to be displayed alongside advertised rates. Always look at the comparison rate when comparing car loans.

What factors affect my car loan interest rate?

Your interest rate is influenced by your credit score, employment status, income, loan amount, loan term, the age and type of vehicle, and whether the loan is secured or unsecured. A larger deposit can also help secure a lower rate.

Should I get pre-approval before shopping for a car?

Yes! Pre-approval gives you a clear budget, strengthens your negotiating position at dealerships, speeds up the buying process, and allows you to compare multiple lenders before committing. Pre-approvals typically last 14-30 days depending on the lender.

What's the difference between fixed and variable rate car loans?

Fixed rate loans keep the same interest rate for the entire loan term, making budgeting easier. Variable rate loans can change with market conditions, potentially going up or down. Fixed rates are most common for car loans in Australia.

How much can I borrow for a car loan?

Most lenders offer car loans from $5,000 to $150,000+, depending on your income and credit profile. As a rule of thumb, your car repayments shouldn't exceed 15% of your gross monthly income. Use our calculator to estimate what you can afford.
