Secured Car Loans vs Unsecured Car Loans
If you’re researching car loans, you’ve probably come across the terms secured and unsecured loans. Understanding the difference can help you decide which type of loan may be appropriate for your circumstances.
A secured loan requires you to provide an asset as security for the loan. All Rapid Loans vehicle loans are secured, with an eligible registered vehicle used as security. In most cases, this is the vehicle being purchased, which is why we’ll ask for the vehicle details before your loan is finalised.
An unsecured loan does not require security. Depending on the lender and the loan product, unsecured loans may have different interest rates, lending criteria, loan amounts or other terms compared with secured loans.
Rapid Loans offers secured vehicle loans for eligible new and used vehicles, subject to our lending criteria and approval.

Auto loan questions
What documents do I need to apply?
During your application, you’ll be asked to upload proof of identity (such as a driver’s licence or passport), proof of income (such as recent payslips or bank statements), details of your current financial commitments, and information about the vehicle you’re purchasing (if you’ve already selected one).
Providing complete and accurate documentation with your application can help avoid delays in assessing your application.
What amounts can I borrow for a Sydney car loan?
Rapid Loans offers secured vehicle loans from $5,000 to $45,000 for eligible new and used vehicles, subject to our lending criteria and approval.
Eligible applicants may receive conditional pre-approval for up to two weeks, providing an indication of how much they may be able to borrow while searching for a vehicle. Before applying, you can learn how the process works and organise any supporting documents to help complete your online application.
How do I buy a car that is under finance?
When you are buying a second-hand car privately, it is essential to check whether a finance institution holds any security against it. We can find out this information by running a PPSR check on the vehicle you want to purchase. As the car you are purchasing acts as security for your loan, the seller will need to repay their original finance company before the sale can go ahead. There are two ways to do this.
The first is that the seller can obtain a payout quote from their financier, repay the outstanding amount and provide proof that the final payment has been made. The second way is that if they are relying on the sale of the car to repay the financier, then they can provide the official payout document to Rapid Loans and we will disburse funds straight to their financier as part of the new car loan. If there are additional funds from the sale leftover after the original loan is paid out, those will then be disbursed to the seller.
What car loan terms do you offer?
Rapid Loans offers secured vehicle loan terms from 24 to 60 months, with loan amounts ranging from $5,000 to $45,000. Your approved loan term and loan amount will depend on your individual circumstances, the vehicle being financed and our lending criteria.
What does pre-approval mean?
If you’re still searching for a vehicle, you may be eligible for conditional pre-approval. This provides an indication of how much you may be able to borrow, subject to meeting the conditions of your application and final approval.
Conditional pre-approval can help you understand your indicative borrowing limit while comparing eligible vehicles. Once you’ve selected a vehicle, we’ll complete the assessment of your application, confirm that any outstanding conditions have been met and, if approved, finalise your loan documentation before settlement.
Do you charge early repayment fees?
No. Rapid Loans does not charge early repayment fees. You can make additional repayments or repay your loan early without penalty. Paying your loan off early may reduce the total interest payable over the life of your loan.
Do you offer fixed interest rates?
Yes. Rapid Loans’ personal and vehicle loans have fixed interest rates, which will be outlined in your loan contract. Your interest rate will depend on factors such as your approved loan product, loan amount and individual financial circumstances.
Do you offer other personal loan options in Sydney?
Yes, Rapid Loans offers a range of secured personal loans for eligible purposed such as:
