Calculating the affordability of a car loan involves considering your income, expenses, and other financial commitments - everything left over, after that, is considered disposable income, which is available towards your loan repayments. Rapid Finance provides the car loan calculator, above, to help you estimate your monthly repayments and determine what fits within your budget.
The loan term for car loans through Rapid Finance typically ranges from 2 to 7 years, depending on factors such as the loan amount and your ability to repay. Our loan specialists can work with you to determine the most suitable loan term to match the vehicle and for your specific needs.
Most car loans are at a fixed loan rate.
A fixed car loan rate remains constant throughout the loan term, providing predictability in your repayments. In contrast, a variable rate may change over time, potentially affecting your monthly payments. Rapid Finance offers both fixed and variable rate options (in some cases), and our team can help you choose the one that aligns with your preferences and financial goals.
Several factors influence the interest rate you can secure, including your credit score, financial history, loan amount, and market conditions. Rapid Finance has a large lending panel with specialist lenders who consider various situations, including bad credit, to find the most suitable loan rate for you.
