Westpac Car Loans

Any information on terms and rates is correct as of November 2023.

Car loan terms

A Westpac car loan can anything from $10,000 to $100,000, for either a new or used car, although it cannot be more than seven years old at the time of application. It must be registered in the applicant's name, have a fully paid, comprehensive insurance policy with Westpac listed as the financier, and can never have been written off. The loan term can be from one to seven years.

Car loan rates

As with personal loans, Westpac does not have a one size fits all car loan rate. Instead, borrowers are given a personalised interest rate based on their credit history and the car being purchased. Older cars, at a heightened risk of breaking down or being written off, as well as the risk profile of the borrower, normally have higher rates.
