Why Refinance Your Car Loan?

A refinance could reshape your repayments or term. Here’s what could be possible.

Lower repayments to fit your budget (if eligible)
Shorten your term to pay it off faster and reduce total interest
Consolidate debts into one repayment, when appropriate

Vehicle refinance FAQs

What’s a no-obligation quote and how do I get one?

Tell us about your current loan (about three minutes). We compare options across NZ lenders and send you a clear quote - rates, fees, terms, and an estimated total cost. You decide if you want to proceed; there’s no obligation.

Approval subject to responsible lending inquiries.

How long does it take?

Timing varies—but if we’ve got everything, some approvals come through the same day. Approval is subject to lender criteria and affordability checks.

Are there fees to switch?

Possibly. There can be early-repayment costs with your current lender and setup fees on a new loan. We walk through the various costs so you can weigh the trade-offs. See. more about our fees here and lender fees here.

Will my repayments definitely go down?

Not always. Repayments depend on rate, fees and the term you choose. Lower repayments can mean paying more interest overall if the term is longer - your adviser will talk you through the others and impact either way.

Can I roll other debts into the new loan?

Sometimes. Consolidation can simplify things, but total interest may increase if you extend the term. If you do consolidate, closing old accounts matters - otherwise balances can build up again. We’ll include this in your quote.

Important Information

Fixed interest rates for vehicle loans range from 7.95% p.a. to a maximum of 29.95% p.a. on a minimum 12 month to a maximum 60-month loan term. The actual interest rate charged to you will depend on your circumstances, the type of lending required, the security provided, and the lender. Approval is subject to meeting lending criteria, and affordability test applies. The lender will independently assess whether you are eligible for a loan.

Fees apply, including an Establishment Fee of up to $350 and an Introducer Fee of up to $995. Also, lenders may charge a PPSR fee of between $0 and $14. For example: On a loan of $5,000 over 12 months at 10.95% p.a. with Establishment and Introducer fees totalling $495 and a PPSR Fee of $7.39, the total amount to repay is $5,835.93 which is 12 monthly payments of $486.34.Those amounts don’t include ongoing fees, such as Service Fees, charged by the lender. You can find full fee information in the loan contract. We recommend that you check the fees before accepting the loan offer. View more information about lender fees here.

Refinance & Debt Consolidation: The examples above are general information, not a quote or advice. Refinancing or consolidating may lower repayments but can lengthen the loan term and increase total interest paid. Any savings are not guaranteed and depend on your rate, fees and term. Early-repayment/break fees or other charges may apply to your current loan, and new lender fees and security requirements may apply. We recommend comparing total cost (including any break fees) before proceeding. Terms and availability vary by borrower profile and lender policy.
