Car repair loan questions

What types of car repairs are eligible for a loan?

A car repair loan from Rapid can be used for almost any vehicle-related expenses, including mechanical, electrical, or cosmetic repairs. Our finance can help you pay for engine rebuilds, brake and suspension work, body damage, new tyres and more. Funds can even be used for optional upgrades that make your car safer and more reliable.

All applications are subject to our credit eligibility criteria and approval. Terms and conditions, fees and charges apply.

How fast can I get funds for emergency repairs?

In many cases, funds may be available on the same buisness day following approval and settlement, depending on your financial institution. 

Can I use the loan for regular servicing as well?

Yes. While many people use car repair loans for unexpected issues, you can also use them for scheduled maintenance or upgrades, such as logbook servicing, tyre rotations, or safety checks. Keeping your vehicle in good condition helps prevent costly repairs in the future – and our flexible finance options make those costs more manageable.

Are there fees for early repayments?

No. Rapid Loans allow extra repayments with no penalty, so you can choose to pay off your loan ahead of schedule, or make a lump sum payment during your term. Many customers choose to do so to finish their contracted repayment term sooner and save on total interest. You’re in the driver’s seat of your loan – no hidden fees, fixed interest rate and no early repayment fees.
