A car loan finances a vehicle so you don’t pay the whole cost upfront. The rate you get can vary a lot between lenders, and the dealer’s offer is rarely the sharpest one on the table. Talk to one of our licensed local brokers, who compares car and asset finance so the repayments suit your budget rather than the dealer’s margin. Free to you, no obligation.
When a broker helps with a car loan
You’re buying a car, new or used, and the dealer’s waving a finance form at you. It’s convenient. It’s also the one deal you can see, from the one set of lenders the dealer works with. You’ve got no idea whether the rate is fair.
That’s the gap a broker closes. Instead of taking the finance that happens to be in front of you, you get someone comparing car loans across a range of lenders, so you can tell whether the dealer’s offer is genuinely good or just easy.
How our brokers help
The broker looks at what you’re buying, your budget and your situation, then compares car and asset finance across several lenders. They sort out the practical questions: secured or unsecured, loan term, whether a balloon payment at the end suits you, and whether any fees are worth it for a lower rate.
They’re also useful when your situation isn’t textbook. Self-employed buyers, casual income, or a car that’s a bit older can all trip up a single bank. A broker who works across lenders knows which ones are flexible and can present your income properly. Because the lender usually pays the broker, comparing your options this way typically costs you nothing. Any fee would be disclosed in writing first.
New, used, or through a business
Car finance isn’t one thing. Buying privately versus from a dealer changes your options. Business buyers might be better off with a chattel mortgage or novated lease, which have tax angles a consumer car loan doesn’t. If you’re buying vehicles for a business, that shades into commercial and asset finance, and a broker can point you to the right structure.
A note on priorities
A car loan is a smaller commitment than a mortgage, but the same principle holds: comparing across lenders beats taking the first offer. If you’re also in the market for a home, sorting the home loan first usually makes sense, since a new car loan affects your borrowing power. A broker can look at both together.

Common questions
Is dealer finance a good deal?
Sometimes, but the dealer only offers their own lenders, so you can't tell whether it's competitive. Dealer finance is convenient but often carries a higher rate or fees baked into the price. A broker compares car loans across several lenders so you can see whether the dealer's offer actually stacks up.
What's the difference between a secured and unsecured car loan?
A secured car loan uses the car itself as security, which usually means a lower rate. An unsecured loan doesn't, so it's often dearer but more flexible, and it suits older cars some lenders won't secure. A broker tells you which suits your car and situation and finds a competitive rate either way.
Can I get a car loan if I'm self-employed?
Yes. Self-employed buyers sometimes struggle at a single bank that wants two years of tax returns, but other lenders are more flexible, including low-doc options. A broker who works across lenders knows which ones suit self-employed borrowers and can present your income properly rather than have you knocked back for the wrong reason.
Should I finance a car through a broker or my bank?
Your bank offers one set of car loan rates. A broker compares across many lenders and asset finance providers, which often finds a sharper rate, especially if your situation is a bit outside the box. Because the lender usually pays the broker, comparing your options this way typically costs you nothing.
