Considering financing a car?
A car loan from AA Money is a form of secured lending. This means that the vehicle is used as security against your loan. This security is registered to us during the term of your loan to cover the cost of the loan in the unlikely event that you are unable to pay it back.
AA Money offers flexible loan options
- Fixed rates from 9.65% p.a.*
- Conditionally approved loans valid for 30 days
- Borrow up to 100% for a personal used vehicle
- Loan terms from 1 to 5 years
Is a car loan right for you?
As a responsible lender, AA Money must make reasonable enquiries about your spending patterns and to understand whether you have sufficient funds to service your car loan repayments, prior to entering into a contract with you.
In some cases, a car loan may not be the right option for you.
Tips for budgeting and borrowing for your first car
- Don't overspend on a car, it's recommended you spend no more than 10-20% of your gross salary on a car, and ideally less. Our car loans calculator can help steer you in the right direction.
- Look out for lemons, buying an extremely cheap car comes with its own risks. If the car keeps breaking down, repairs can be very costly.
- Insurance is a financial safety net. Comprehensive car insurance covers you if your car is damaged or stolen, and it also covers damage you do to another person's car or property.
- If you are unable to meet your loan repayment obligations, you risk losing your vehicle. If you have a car loan with AA Money, and your debts are becoming difficult to manage, please talk to us.
