How do online car loans work?

Finding the right car loan can be overwhelming. Here at LoanU, our vehicle finance is designed to keep the process simple for people who have suffered from credit impairments in the past.

Our car loans also cover motorcycles, 4WD’s, and leisure vehicles such as caravans. You may not have enough savings to purchase a vehicle outright but are in a financial position where you can afford to repay a loan in small monthly repayments.

What is a secured car loan?

Basically, the car being purchased acts as security for the loan. At LoanU we only offer secured car loans. We also require for the car to be full insured, but that’s always a good idea! Since secured loans are safer for the lender and the borrower, they have better interest rates and lower fees in return. Our rates are fixed so there’s no surprises month to month. 

At LoanU, we understand that everyone’s financial situation is unique. That’s why our loan consultants take time to get to know you, your financial interests and your potential before deciding on an interest rate.

What is an unsecured car loan?

As the name suggests, an unsecured loan means there is no asset tied to the loan (i.e. the car) so a borrower can loan a lump sum of money to spend on a purchase of their choice. If you purchase a vehicle, because the asset is not tied to the loan it means it carries a higher interest rate.

How do I know if I’m eligible?

To receive a car loan from LoanU, you must meet the following criteria: 

• Be 18 years or older
• Be a permanent Australian Resident or citizen
• Be currently employed 
• Earn a gross annual salary of $50,000+

Best of all, you can check if you qualify without damaging your credit score today.
