What is a comparison rate for a car loan?

A comparison rate is a tool to help you understand the true cost of a car loan. This rate allows you to better compare the price of different loan providers by factoring in some of the fees and charges that are included in their loan. Some loan providers have very high fees that cover the costs for establishing the loan.

Typically, the comparison rate on a car loan is calculated on a $30,000 loan amount over 60 months. This includes the interest rate and additional fees (including establishment fees, brokerage fees and monthly fees).

While the comparison rate covers many costs, some are not included:

  • Government Stamp Duty and On-Road Costs
  • Late Payment Fees
  • Break Costs or Early Termination Fees
  • Cost savings such as fee waivers or the availability of interest offset arrangements which can influence the cost of a loan
How much can I borrow to buy my new car?

The amount you can borrow to buy your new car, known as the loan amount or principal, is the base sum on which interest and any applicable upfront fees are charged. In Australia, car loans typically range from $5,000 to $100,000, although some lenders may offer higher amounts. Your borrowing capacity is determined by considering a range of factors, which may include; your credit score, income, expenses and loan term.
