Buy new or used

You can opt for a brand-new or second-hand car up to 20 years old bought at a dealership or privately, giving you more options to choose from.

Bad Credit Car Loans explained

Is there guaranteed approval on bad credit car loans?

No – lenders won’t offer you guaranteed approval on bad credit car loans. However, we make it much easier for applicants with more complicated financial histories to gain loan approval.  We partner with a range of lenders who are willing to work with your financial situation and find a deal to fit your circumstances. We can help the following customers achieve loan approval:

Defaults

Having defaults stuck to your credit file may reduce your finance options, but it doesn’t rule them out entirely. We partner with a range of lenders more interested in your current ability to pay back a loan than your credit score.

Discharged bankruptcies

Being an ex-bankrupt or under a Part IX debt agreement can close off many of your finance options, especially from the big banks. We can help you access the financing you need by looking at your current situation and finding you the right deal to get back on the road. 

Earnings via Centrelink benefits

Borrowers receiving long-term and ongoing government benefits, such as disability or aged pensions, can find it tough getting a lender to hear their case for a loan. We partner with financiers who take these payments into account when determining your regular income.

Casual or short-term employment

Most lenders require you to have consistently worked for the same employer for more than a year. We partner with a range of lenders who are more accepting of your shorter-term employment status.

How can I improve my chances of approval?

There are some things you can do to improve your chances of getting the green light. Some factors which will increase your chances of approval include:

Stable income and employment

Lenders will want to know that you can manage the agreed repayments over the life of your car loan. Having a steady job with a regular income will make you more attractive to lenders.

Consistent residential history

Lenders are looking for borrowers with stability. Being able to prove you have a strong residential history means costs such as weekly rent are unlikely to fluctuate, ensuring you can afford your loan repayments.

Affordable loan amount

Be realistic about how much you can afford to borrow. While most lenders offer loans of up to $50,000, you’re likely to be approved for a lesser amount (although it depends on your situation and interest rate).

Keeping your spending in check

Lenders will want to see that you’ll be able to make your repayments without it becoming a financial burden. Proving you’re sensible with your money can be looked upon favourably by lenders.

Top tips for what to do before you applying

Check you’re eligible

To apply for a bad credit car loan, you must be an Australian citizen or resident, over 18 years old and earning a regular income.

Know what you can afford

Estimate your current living expenses and liabilities, then work out a rough calculation of how much you might be able to afford to borrow and repay comfortably.

Understand the fees

Under a bad credit car loan, most lenders could charge you higher administration fees or penalties for late payment, so you should be mindful of these.

Gather your documents 

Ensure your most up-to-date personal documents, such as bank statements, payslips and driver’s licence, are on hand before starting an application to avoid delays.

Answers to some of your bad credit car loan questions

No – all lenders will conduct a credit check during the application process. Lenders offering bad credit car loans are quite flexible, so credit history shouldn’t be a major worry. In most cases, the credit check is conducted to review things like your residential history and whether there are any similar defaults on your file.

As part of the application, you’ll be asked to submit personal documents to our consultant. These include:

  • A driver’s licence (front and back) or a passport

  • Two of your most recent payslips

  • 90 days of bank statements and Centrelink income statements (if applicable)

  • An application form, consent form and credit guide (these will be supplied by your consultant)

Yes – you can use your loan to remedy your credit rating, but improvement won’t happen overnight. Sticking to your payment arrangement over the life of your new loan will reduce your risk profile over the years and demonstrate you’re a responsible borrower.

Yes – many lenders will view government support measures such as a disability pension or Centrelink payments are regular income. Temporary assistance packages such as JobSeeker or Youth Allowance won’t count when assessing your earnings.

Potentially, yes – you’ll need to prove to a new lender that you’ve kept up to date with your bad credit car loan repayments and are in a much better financial position. If you can show that your situation has improved, it’ll make you more attractive to lenders and can open up the possibility for better rates and fees.

Yes – if you can show your lender that your income is enough to cover the regular repayments and that you have savings in the bank, you can still be approved for a car loan. While most lenders will treat no borrowing history as akin to a bad one, we look at your current financial situation when considering your application.
