What is a secured car loan?
A secured car loan is a lending agreement where the asset acting as security for the loan is the vehicle being purchased. Because secured loans are safer for both the lender and the borrower, they offer better interest rates and lower fees. Unsecured car loans are quite uncommon.

Car Finance Melbourne with Rapid Loans
A car loan is better called a ‘vehicle loan’ as it covers trucks, motorcycles, boats and caravans too. In getting a vehicle loan, a borrower can either apply for conditional pre-approval for a certain amount before they go shopping for a car, or they can find a vehicle, negotiate a price and then approach a lender to access the necessary funds.

FAQ
How do I buy a car that is under finance?
When you are buying a second-hand car privately, it is essential to check whether a finance institution holds any security against it. We can find out this information by running a PPSR check on the vehicle you want to purchase. As the car you are purchasing acts as security for your loan, the seller will need to repay their original finance company before the sale can go ahead. There are two ways to do this.
The first is that the seller can obtain a payout quote from their financier, repay the outstanding amount and provide proof that the final payment has been made. The second way is that if they are relying on the sale of the car to repay the financier, then they can provide the official payout document to Rapid Loans and we will disburse funds straight to their financier as part of the new car loan. If there are additional funds from the sale leftover after the original loan is paid out, those will then be disbursed to the seller.
What is a p.a. comparison rate?
The comparison rate gives you a true understanding of the cost of the loan per year. In addition to interest rate charged, it adds the cost of fees and charges, repayment frequency, loan term and loan amount.
What loan terms do you offer?
Our loan terms vary from 18 to 60 months with loans ranging from $2,001 up to $25,000. This will depend on the product, loan amount and other factors.
What is a balloon payment?
A balloon payment is a significant extra payment made on your loan that is greater than your normal repayment. A balloon payment can be made at any time of the loan term and will reduce the loan term and interest charges for that loan. We do not require balloon payments at Rapid Loans, however the option is available to you to make extra repayments without incurring any fees.
What does pre-approval mean?
Applicants are able to apply for pre-approval for finance before making an offer for a car. Pre-approval means that the applicant has already gone through the application process and has been found that they satisfy the criteria to get a loan of a specific loan amount. This gives the applicant to the reassurance that they can afford a car within a specific budget. When the applicant has found a car to purchase, the loan application can be finalised with any conditions being met to receive final approval, contracts signed and funds disbursed.
Do you offer fixed interest rates?
Yes, personal and car loans from Rapid Loans have a fixed interest rate outlined in your contract. This will vary depending on a number of factors such as borrower profile, loan product and principal amount.
Do you charge early repayment fees?
No, Rapid Loans does not charge any fees for early payouts or additional repayments on top of the normal repayment schedule.
