Car finance guides

Is refinancing your car finance worth considering?

Whether refinancing is worth considering depends on the current agreement, settlement figure, rate, vehicle, credit profile, term and the options available. There is no single answer that fits every agreement.

Check your refinance options

Possible reasons to review

You may want to understand whether your monthly payment, rate or term still fits your circumstances. A review can also help you see the difference between a lower payment and a lower overall cost.

Reasons it may not suit you

It may not be suitable where a new term would increase the total repayable, where the settlement figure and vehicle value do not work together, or where your current lender has another support option that better meets your needs.

A balanced checklist

Compare the current and potential new payment, APR, term, total repayable, fees, early-settlement position and agreement conditions. Take time to read the information provided before deciding.

Questions to consider

Can rates change between an illustration and an agreement?
Terms can change following further checks or updated information. Read the final information carefully before entering into an agreement.
What should I do if I do not understand a term?
Ask the relevant provider for an explanation before proceeding. Take time to understand payments, duration, fees and early-ending terms.
