Secured car loans

Provided your new set of wheels is in good working condition and no more than 20 years old at the end of your loan, you can apply for a secured car loan. With a secured car loan you may be offered both a lower interest rate and be able to borrow a higher amount than an unsecured the loan (restrictions apply to certain high performance or luxury cars).

Rates for secured car loans start at 5.90% p.a. (6.33% p.a. comparison rate^) for new cars, and are from 6.03 % p.a. (6.46% p.a. comparison rate^) for used cars. The interest rate you are offered will be determined by your individual situation, which includes the age of the asset you use to secure the loan.

Unsecured car loans

In the market for something older, a fixer upper, or a vehicle you don't plan on comprehensively insuring? Unsecured car loans offer borrowers the greatest flexibility when choosing a car, with no restrictions on vehicle type, age or condition.

Rates for unsecured car loans start at 6.55% p.a. (6.55% p.a. comparison rate*), with no monthly fees or penalties for paying your loan off early.

FAQ

Are there any restrictions on the type of car I can buy?

For a secured loan, yes. A vehicle to be used as security must be no more than 20 years old at the end of your loan. In addition to that, certain high performance models are restricted, and restrictions and minimum age requirements apply to some luxury brands.

If you choose an unsecured loan, there are no restrictions at all on the type of car you may purchase with your loan.

Should I put an offer for a car and then apply for a loan?

When you apply for a loan with MoneyPlace the first step is to get a rate estimate, which takes just 2 minutes to complete and gives you an indicative interest rate, repayment amount and establishment fee.

This can help you understand how much you might be able to borrow for your car, and is completely obligation-free. Rate estimates are valid for 30 days.

Why is getting an unsecured loan better?

Unsecured loans allow you to buy any car, no matter the age or condition, and they also come with less restrictions on what you could do with your vehicle. They can be a good option for someone who plans on modifying their vehicle, or only taking out third party insurance.

Why is getting a secured loan better?

Secured loans tend to represent less risk to lenders, and so typically have more favourable aspects for borrowers. At MoneyPlace, if you take out a secured loan, you may be able to access a higher borrowing limit, a lower interest rate, or both.

What happens if I cannot provide the collateral to secure my loan?

This is a routine situation and nothing to be worried about. If you submit an application for a secured loan but are unable to provide the collateral to secure your loan — for example because the value of your vehicle is insufficient, or you changed your mind and chose a different car — we are able to remove the security, and proceed with your application for an unsecured loan.
