The amount, rates, and loan terms vary depending on whether the loan is secured or unsecured.
A secured car loan, which uses the car as collateral, typically has more favourable terms. However, an unsecured option, which doesn't require collateral, provides greater flexibility regarding the type of vehicle and from where it is acquired.
