What is car refinancing?

Car refinance is the process of taking out a new finance agreement so you can pay off your current loan and switch to a new lender, usually with lower rates and better terms.

Could refinancing save me money?

Refinancing your car loan gives you an opportunity to restructure it in a way that could potentially save you money. This process involves replacing your existing loan with a new one, ideally at a lower interest rate or with more favorable terms. By exploring these options, you can potentially:

Secure a lower interest rate

If your credit score has improved since taking out your current loan, you may qualify for a more competitive interest rate. This reduction can translate to savings over the life of the loan.

Reduce monthly payments

Refinancing with a longer loan term can decrease your monthly payments. However, it's essential to understand that extending the loan term will generally result in paying more interest in the long run.

Before proceeding, careful consideration is necessary:

Early repayment fees

Review your current loan agreement for any penalties associated with early repayment. These fees can potentially reduce the benefits of refinancing.

Interest rate fluctuations

Monitor current interest rates and compare them to your existing rate. Refinancing may not be worthwhile if new rates are higher than your current one.

FAQs About Refinancing

Frustrated with your current finance company, or paying too much each month? You may want to consider refinancing over to a new deal. Got more questions? Head over to our FAQs page 👍

Can you refinance a car already on finance?

Yes. This is exactly what refinancing is for. Think of it as a similar process to a remortgage, or switching utilities providers. When you switch, you can set up a new agreement with payments and a term that suits you.

How soon can I apply to refinance my car deal?

You're generally free to apply for refinance whenever you wish, but keep in mind that lenders tend to prefer borrowers with a proven track record. This means you may need to have held your existing car loan for a minimum period before they'll consider your application.

Does refinancing a car affect credit?

Yes. When you go ahead with refinancing, the new finance company must run a hard credit search on your file. However, your credit file won't be affected just to get a quote! You can then decide whether you think it's worth switching.

How many times can you refinance a car?

As many times as you like! All you need to do is get an Early Settlement Quote from your current finance company, and then complete an application with the new finance company you're considering moving to.

How long do you have to wait to refinance your car?

With Carmoola, you can complete the refinancing process in under 10 minutes! Make sure you get your Early Settlement Quote from your current finance company first, they're not all as fast as us!
