Tips for Smart Car Financing in NZ

We want our clients to make informed choices, so here are our top tips:

  1. Get Pre-Approved First - It gives you a clear budget and bargaining power with sellers.
  2. Think Beyond the Purchase Price - Factor in insurance, fuel, servicing, Warrant of Fitness, and registration costs.
  3. Choose the Right Term - A shorter term usually means higher monthly payments but less interest overall.
  4. Check Your Credit Score - A strong score may unlock lower rates. If your score isn’t great, we can suggest steps to improve it.
  5. Avoid Over-Borrowing - Just because you can borrow more doesn’t mean you should — choose a repayment you’re comfortable with.

Our experience with ROSTRON has been incredible!

This is the first time I have used any external finance broker for any sort of loan. I was always skeptical of using external companies and always preferred to deal directly with banks. But I can definitely say Rostron Finance...

Exceptional Service at Rostron Finance!

Massive thank you to Alexander! The customer service through the entire process of buying a new car has been incredible. Alexander was open, honest and so helpful, you felt like he was going above and beyond to help you. You didn’t feel like just another sale, like how some dealerships make you feel. Honestly ask for Alexander to help you with your finance!

A Five-Star Experience with Rostron's Professional Team!

I had a fantastic experience with Hamish in sorting out my loan for my car. Every question I could think of had an answer, if I had an alternate suggestion, he would hear me out and we would work from there.

Legitimately, I can't sing his praises high enough, and by extension, the company as well.

Exceptional Solutions at Rostron Finance!

I found Rostron Finance via a random google search and it had me intrigued as to why so many great customer experiences (especially with a person named Harrison). Funnily enough, my contact WAS Harrison and from my first contact with him it gave me insight as to why all the brilliant reviews.  I can easily say that Harrison's service, attitude, knowledge, expertise and genuine time is first class. Although we didn't get the result we wanted, Harrison went above and beyond. It made the whole experience just that better.

Thank you Harrison, you are a gem!

Got a Question About Car Finance

Yes, we offer car finance for consumers and businesses. For a greater range of vehicle financing options, such as trucks, check out our Equipment Finance options.

Finance approval ranges from same-day turnarounds up to a few days, depending on the complexity of the loan, the amount of information you have provided us, and the strength of your application. Our team will keep you updated on how the loan is tracking.

After approval is confirmed and you have signed the original finance documents, we aim to settle within 24 hours and have the supplier receive the money from the financier.

A secured loan involves the finance company taking security against your car. This enables banks and lenders to offer various products such as New & Used Car Loans, Bad Credit Car Loans, and more – these have greater flexibility and rates due to the company taking security. 

An unsecured loan does not require security against the car. Our unsecured loans at Rostron Finance have a fixed competitive rate, allowing you to access the best deals in the market.

Some of our lenders require a minimum loan amount of around $5,000, while others will lend as low as $1,500, depending on the asset you are purchasing. We do not have a preset maximum loan amount, as this will depend on what you can afford.

It depends on the type of car finance you have applied for and the lender to which your loan is attached. If there are fees, you can pay them upfront or incorporate them into your loan should you decide to proceed with your approved application. Fees do not apply if your loan is declined or you choose not to proceed.
