On many occasions we wish we had a car to tun errands or get to work on time but we end up using public transportation or Uber and as a result can increase the time wasted on the commute. Which is why owning a car has become essential for many and even when we can’t afford to pay full price, we have the option of getting a car loan.
What is a car loan?
It is a type of loan offered by banks where the car itself is the collateral for the loan. A car loan’s duration starts at 1 year and up to 7 years.
Advantages of car loans:
- The interest rate is less than a personal loan’s because the car is the collateral for the loan.
- Having car insurance is an essential condition set by the banks and some banks will even stipulate specific car insurance companies.
If you have car insurance you can repair your car at the insurance company’s designated auto repair centers.
