Many people in our country are rethinking about their preferred mode of conveyance amid the prevailing second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Many who were earlier dependent on public or shared transportation are now seriously considering buying a car to minimize the possibility of getting infected by the deadly virus when they step out.
And since cars are big-ticket purchases, many among them are also keen on taking a car loan to fulfil their aspiration, especially considering the fact that these financing facilities are usually available at lower interest rates than an unsecured loan product like a personal loan.
So, if you too are planning to purchase a new car in the near future, do note that lenders usually finance up to 80%-90% of the car’s on-road price. However, there are some banks that also offer loan products that finance 100% of the car’s valuation cost subject to terms and conditions. Also, car loans are usually available in tenures up to 7 years. But despite being a secured loan product, applicable car loan interest rates are determined by the
lender based on the borrower’s credit score, among other factors, according to BankBazaar.

There’s also a processing fee that’s usually charged according to the policies of the lender. That being said, a few banks offer car loans at preferential rates for their existing home loan borrowers.
Many banks also offer pre-approved car loans to their selected customers, which could involve concessional interest rates and a quick loan disbursal. As such, it makes a lot of sense to compare the current car loan offers by different lenders to find a deal that best meets your financing requirements, as per BankBazaar.
