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 vehicle loans are quite uncommon.

Personal Loans 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, or they can find a vehicle, negotiate a price and then approach a lender to access the necessary funds.

Rapid Loans Personal Car Loan
If you want to buy a new vehicle, Rapid Loans offers personal car loans between $5,000 and $25,000. We help people who are buying cars from dealers, auctions or private sales. Also, we offer pre-approval for qualifying applicants. Let us help you get into the car you want.
How Our Car Loans Work
Our vehicle loans are secured, which means that Rapid Loans takes security in the vehicle. All applications are manually reviewed to ensure that applicants can make their loan payments. This review is a safeguard for both our clients and ourselves to ensure that our clients do not take on debt they cannot afford. If your credit profile, income and other documents show that you can afford the payments, we may approve your loan request.
We explain any important terms and fees and discuss a repayment schedule. Once you agree to them, you sign the loan documents.
These are the basic steps in the loan process if you’re approved:
- We pay the dealer or seller the money for the car.
- You make loan payments to us.
- Once the loan is paid in full, the security is removed from your car.
These are a few requirements that we have with our secured personal loans:
- While the loan is active, we ask that you notify us of a new address if you move.
- We require you to keep the car comprehensively insured during the life of the loan.
- You must make your repayments on time or notify us immediately if there is a problem with making a payment.
For repayment terms, we may offer monthly, fortnightly or weekly payment options. The repayment terms depend on what you can afford, the loan amount and other factors that we’ll be happy to discuss with you.
Who Can Apply for a Personal Loan at Rapid Loans?
Although it’s ideal to have a full-time job, you may still qualify if you have a part-time job. We also work with:
- Casual employees.
- Self-employed business owners or subcontractors.
One of our representatives can help guide you through the process if you have questions about how to provide documentation for alternative types of income.
How Our Car Loan Application Process Works
We’ve streamlined our online personal loan application to help you get a decision in a timely manner. We realise that a dealership or an owner may not hold a vehicle for you for a long time, which is why we strive to be quick. As long as the information that you submit is complete, we typically provide answers on the same day and funds as soon as possible after approval. These are the basic steps in the loan application process:
- You fill out a personal loan application.
- You submit your required documents.
- We learn more about your desired purchase and required loan amount.
- We promptly review the documents and consider your individual circumstances.
- We either grant approval or do not grant approval.
If you’re approved for one of our personal loans, we’ll review the loan rules and fees with you. A personal loan representative can answer your questions about repayment structure and any other queries you might have.
Required Documents for Consideration
Incomplete loan applications will delay the process. Fortunately, our online personal loan application gives you prompts to let you submit your information in just four simple steps. It’s also secure and quick. In addition to basic information about yourself, these are the minimum documentation requirements:
- Proof of residence for the last three months.
- Proof of continuous and sufficient income for the past three months if you work.
- Proof of sufficient income if you’re self-employed.
- Proof of private benefits or government pension payments if you don’t work.
- Identification documents
If you don’t have this information available now, contact your employer, payment source or bank to obtain it. You can submit the information to us securely online.
Benefits of Personal Loans
The biggest benefit of a personal loan is that you have the necessary funds to get the car you want or a more reliable car that you need. Going without a car can make your commute to work longer or may hamper your social life. If you have kids, it may be harder to help them get to sports practices or other extracurricular activities without a dependable car. These are some other benefits of using a personal vehicle loan:
- A car loan allows you to pay off the vehicle over time instead of all at once.
- Making all your payments on time and completing the loan satisfactorily can help improve your credit rating.
