What You Need to Apply for Car Finance

Tips for Smart Car Financing in NZ
We want our clients to make informed choices, so here are our top tips:
- Get Pre-Approved First - It gives you a clear budget and bargaining power with sellers.
- Think Beyond the Purchase Price - Factor in insurance, fuel, servicing, Warrant of Fitness, and registration costs.
- Choose the Right Term - A shorter term usually means higher monthly payments but less interest overall.
- Check Your Credit Score - A strong score may unlock lower rates. If your score isn’t great, we can suggest steps to improve it.
- Avoid Over-Borrowing - Just because you can borrow more doesn’t mean you should — choose a repayment you’re comfortable with.

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.
