Car Finance Built Around What You’re Buying

No two car buyers are the same, so your finance shouldn’t be either. We arrange car finance that matches your needs.

Secured Car Loans

With Avara Finance, secured car loans can include:

  • Loan amounts from $5,000 to $500,000
  • Flexible terms from 2 to 7 years
  • Competitive rates through our panel of 40+ lenders
  • No early repayment penalties on eligible loans

 

Unsecured Personal Loans

If a secured loan isn’t the right fit, we can also compare unsecured personal loan options. These can be ideal if you’re purchasing an older vehicle or simply prefer not to use your car as security.

An unsecured loan may suit if you:

  • Are purchasing an older vehicle
  • Want greater flexibility in your vehicle choice
  • Prefer not to secure the loan against the car

Our finance specialists can help you determine which option best suits your circumstances.

Business Vehicle Finance

Need finance for a work vehicle? Whether you’re buying a ute, van, truck, or expanding your fleet, we can arrange business vehicle finance tailored to your needs. Many business loans are structured as chattel mortgages, giving eligible businesses flexible repayment options designed around their cash flow.

Business vehicle finance can be suitable for:

  • Sole traders and ABN holders
  • Commercial vehicles and work utes
  • Fleet purchases and business expansion
  • Trade vehicles and equipment

Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Finance

Making the switch to an electric or hybrid vehicle? Several lenders on our panel offer competitive finance options for eligible new, demonstrator, and approved used EVs and plug-in hybrids.

Depending on the lender and vehicle, you may benefit from:

  • Discounted interest rates
  • Extended loan terms to help manage repayments
  • Finance for eligible electric and hybrid vehicles

We’ll compare available offers and explain your options, so you can finance your new vehicle with confidence.

Car Loan Refinancing

Already have a car loan? Refinancing could help reduce your repayments, secure a better interest rate, or access additional funds if your financial circumstances have changed.

Refinancing may be worth considering if:

  • Interest rates have fallen since you took out your loan
  • Your financial position has improved
  • You’d like to lower your repayments
  • You’re looking for a lender that better suits your needs

Our specialists will compare refinance options across our lender panel to see if switching could save you money over the life of your loan.

Here’s What You’ll Need

Applying for car finance is straightforward, and having a few key documents ready can make the process even faster. To help us assess your application, it’s helpful to have:

  • Details of the vehicle you’re purchasing, including the purchase price and seller
  • Existing loan statements (if you’re refinancing)
  • Your ABN and business details (for business vehicle finance)

Getting pre-approved before you start shopping gives you greater confidence and puts you in a stronger position when it’s time to buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a secured and an unsecured car loan?

A secured car loan uses the vehicle you’re purchasing as security, which typically allows lenders to offer lower interest rates, higher borrowing limits, and longer loan terms. An unsecured loan isn’t tied to the vehicle, making it a suitable option for some older cars or borrowers who don’t want to use the car as security, although interest rates are generally higher.

A bank can only offer its own finance products. Avara Finance compares your application across a panel of 40+ Australian lenders, giving you access to a wider range of loan options with one application. Your dedicated finance specialist will also explain your options in plain English, helping you choose the right loan for your circumstances.

Many applications receive an initial lending decision within 24 hours, with same-day decisions available in some cases. Once you’ve provided the required documents, full approval is often completed within one to two business days, depending on the lender and your individual circumstances.

Possibly. Every application is assessed individually, and because we compare your application across multiple lenders rather than relying on one bank’s lending criteria, there may still be finance options available. Your finance specialist can discuss what’s realistic based on your circumstances.

Yes. We arrange business vehicle finance for sole traders, ABN holders, and companies, including chattel mortgages for work utes, vans, commercial vehicles, and fleet purchases. If you’re unsure which structure is right for your business, we can explain your options.

Several lenders on our panel offer discounted rates for eligible new, demonstrator, and approved used electric and hybrid vehicles. Some lenders also offer longer loan terms to help make repayments more manageable. Eligibility and available offers vary between lenders.

Early repayment terms depend on the lender and loan type. Many standard secured car loans arranged through Avara allow you to repay your loan early without penalty, while some commercial or specialist finance products may include exit fees. We’ll explain any applicable fees before you accept your loan.

Most applications require:

  • Proof of identification
  • Recent payslips or tax returns (if self-employed)
  • Details of the vehicle you’re purchasing
  • Current loan statements if you’re refinancing
  • Your ABN and business information for business vehicle finance

Having these documents ready can help speed up the approval process.

Yes. If interest rates have changed or your financial circumstances have improved, refinancing may help reduce your repayments or secure more suitable loan terms. We’ll compare refinance options across our lender panel to see if switching could save you money.

No. We are an independent finance broker, not a lender. As an Authorised Credit Representative (ACR 540136) operating under Australian Credit Licence 414426, we compare your application across a panel of 40+ lenders to help you find a finance solution that suits your needs.
