With a Jacaranda Finance car loan, you can borrow up to $3,000-$30,000 and pay it back over 25 months - 48 months.

By submitting a full application for a car loan, you are authorising a hard credit check. This means that other lenders will be able to see that you applied for a loan and could impact your credit score. Before you submit a full application with Jacaranda Finance, you can check if you qualify with no impact on your credit score*. This is called a soft credit check, and is only visible on your credit report to you.

How can I check if I qualify for a car loan?

If you’re considering applying for a loan with Jacaranda Finance, you can check if you qualify with no impact on your credit score*.

We understand that life moves fast. That’s why we do too. Apply before 3:00pm and Jacaranda Finance will give you a same day outcome2 on your loan application. Once approved, your funds will be transferred in 60 seconds3. This means you could apply, have your application assessed and receive your funds all within the same day.

It depends on how much you’re borrowing.

At Jacaranda Finance, if you’re looking to borrow less than $10,000, comprehensive insurance isn’t required as a condition of the loan – although we strongly recommend having appropriate cover to protect yourself and your vehicle.

If you're looking to borrow $10,000 or more, you’ll need to have comprehensive car insurance before your loan can be finalised. This is because your car is used as security for the loan, it must be protected against damage, theft, accidents or write-off. Before your loan can be finalised, you’ll need an active comprehensive insurance policy with at least $10,000 in cover. Your insurance needs to start from the day you take possession of the vehicle.

Is third-party insurance enough for a car loan?

If you’re looking to borrow less than $10,000, comprehensive car insurance is not a requirement for your loan. If you’re looking to borrow $10,000 or more, you must have comprehensive insurance, which covers damage to your own vehicle as well as other vehicles and property.

If you have any questions about what level of car insurance you require, including if you’re unsure whether your current car insurance policy meets these requirements, get in touch with our friendly customer support team.

Once you’ve been approved and have accepted your loan contract, we’ll automatically attempt to release the money to your account. Most customers get paid in 60 seconds3.

Before you apply for a loan with Jacaranda Finance, it’s important to consider that additional fees could apply. This includes set fees such as our establishment and monthly fees and possible one-off fees such as a risk fee (if applicable this fee will be applied to your balance at the start of your loan) or missed payment fee. If you have any questions about our fees please contact us at i******@j****** or give us a call at 1300 189 823.

Using our loan repayment calculator you can estimate your repayments before applying.

Missed Payment Fees

For every missed payment, a fee will be applied. This cost is added to the account balance and can be paid with the next repayment cycle. If you’re concerned you’ll miss a repayment before the next due date, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible.
