Our consultants have a wealth of experience in the loan industry and can match you to a lender most likely to give you the go-ahead. Start the process with us today to hit the road sooner.
You can apply, get approved and be funded all from your laptop or smartphone anywhere in Australia.
We’ve helped countless customers with bad credit achieve approval on their car loan applications.
Your consultant finds and matches you to a lender best suited to your circumstances, saving you the run-around.
Our lenders let you finance the full value of your vehicle without the need for any down payments at the outset.
Not having a credit rating doesn’t have to stop you from being approved. That’s why our lenders can work with first-time borrowers.
It’s not just cars you can buy. Purchase motorbikes, boats, jet skis, ride-on mowers, caravans, trucks and forklifts with a loan.
If you work but also receive other forms of income such as fixed Centrelink benefits, all of your income can be factored into your assessable earnings.
Schedule your repayments whenever you get paid with weekly, fortnightly or monthly payment options.
Roll your on-road expenses such as insurance, registration and stamp duty into your loan amount.
To get the wheels in motion, ask us for a quote online. You’ll also be given the choice to apply, but if you’re not quite ready, a consultant will call to discuss your options.
Once you apply, your consultant weaves their magic. They’ll use our high-tech software to match you with a lender best suited to your profile.
Your consultant will start preparing your application to send to the lender once confirmed. Ensure you have your important documents ready.
After you’ve been approved, your consultant emails your digital paperwork to sign. After they’re returned, your funds can be released.
Following a budget can be a good way of staying on top of your repayments. Your consultant will be able to help with this. During the application process, they’ll assess your income, expenses and current liabilities to ensure you’re not over-extending yourself.
A regular income provides the foundation for being able to afford your car loan repayments. If you’re holding down stable and consistent work, it’ll be easier to budget for your payments long-term. Being in and out of employment can cause financial stress and discourage lenders.
Reducing non-essential spending should ease the pressure on making your repayments. By drawing up a budget, you can see where your discretionary spending is going and cut back on buying lunch at work or entertainment costs.
Lenders give you the option to set up a direct debit on your repayments. This enables the payment to be automatically deducted from your account on the day it’s due, saving you from worrying about remembering to do it on time.
If a person is going guarantor for your loan, they must meet the following eligibility requirements:
Residency
They must be a permanent Australian resident or citizen to guarantee your loan.
Age
They must be over the age of 18, but will often be substantially older than that. Usually, lenders require the person underwriting your loan to be under the age of 65 before agreeing, but there may be instances where guarantors may be older (provided they can show that they’re able to support the repayments).
Close family
Going guarantor on a loan is usually a decision made to help get a loved one’s credit application across the line. As such, parents, adult children, siblings, step-parents, or a legal guardian can provide backing for your loan. This arrangement can make you more inclined to keep on top of payments so the relationship isn’t affected.
Stable income
They should have a consistent income and steady job if they want to be on the hook for your loan. If you are struggling to make the repayments, they’ll have to step up and take them on.
Asset-backed
Your backer should have property or valuable assets to their name. Lenders always prefer borrowers who are asset-backed when applying for a loan, so a guarantor with property to their name will help maximise your approval chances.
A good credit history
Bad credit history is a common reason people enlist a third party to back a loan, so this person should have a more stable borrowing track record and a higher credit score.
Your borrowing power will be determined by several variables such as your income, expenses and credit history. A guarantor won’t always improve your borrowing power (although this depends on the borrower and lender), but it’ll likely help you access better interest rates on a loan.
The following types of customers can benefit from having a guarantor on their car loan application:
Yes – making timely payments can improve the health of your credit report. This will go down as positive credit reporting every time you make a payment on or before your due dates, which can help lift your score.
If money is a bit tight, contact your lender. Some will be able to reduce your repayments temporarily until you get back on your feet. If you still can’t pay, the responsibility falls to your guarantor to repay the loan.
They can ask the lender for information on the balance, how much has been paid and any overdue payments. The lender also notifies them if you have filed for financial hardship or received a default notice.
Yes – you can get pre-approved so you have a clearer idea of how much you can spend on a car. This can speed up your purchasing process and strengthen your position when negotiating prices.
Yes – but your options are extremely limited. You could refinance your loan to remove them, which may be challenging if you have a bad credit history. Alternatively, they would have to opt out before you receive your funds or formal approval. As such, in most cases, your guarantor will remain on your loan until its completion.
Your backer should consider if you are comfortably able to make the repayments. They should also weigh up how their finances would be impacted if they were required to step in and make the repayments. If they aren’t 100% confident and aren’t prepared for their credit score to be impacted, it’s probably best for them to not guarantee your loan.
