What is car loan refinancing?

Understand when refinancing might help and what costs to check.

Refinancing involves replacing an existing vehicle loan with a new loan. Potential reasons include changes to repayment structure or loan features.

Before proceeding, compare the total remaining cost of your existing loan with the full cost of the new loan. Check early repayment charges, new fees and the overall term.

A lower regular repayment does not necessarily mean a cheaper loan overall.
