What should you compare in a car loan?

Compare the drive-away price, deposit or trade-in, loan amount, interest rate, comparison rate, fees, term, repayment frequency and final balloon. A longer term can make repayments look smaller while increasing total interest.

If the vehicle will mainly be used by a business, asset finance may provide a more relevant structure to compare. If the borrowing purpose extends beyond the vehicle itself, personal loans may offer a broader alternative, although the total rate, fees and repayments still need to be compared.
