What are car registration loans Australia?

A car registration loan can be used to cover the cost of registering your car for either half or the entire year. Nifty Loans offers car rego loans from $300 to $10,000 with flexible repayment terms. Our loan options fall into three categories: small loans, medium loans and large loans.

Small unsecured loans are personal loans that range from $300 to $2,000. The repayment terms for this loan type ranges from 6 to 9 months. 

Medium loans are secured personal loans that range from $2,100 to $4,600. Being a secured loan, this loan tier requires an asset to be attached to the loan as security. This loan can be repaid between 9 to 24 months. 

Large secured loans range from $5,000 to $10,000 and can be repaid over 9 to 24 months. For more information about our loan offerings, visit our costs page.

Before we can approve you for your quick cash loan, we must first verify your loan eligibility. We have some standard eligibility requirements that all of our applicants must meet, so ensure that you verify your eligibility before you apply.

To ensure your loan can be processed as fast as possible, provide all the required supporting documents when you submit your application. Have all of these documents handy when you apply:

• Your online banking details (to access copies of your bank statements)
• Your myGov details (if you receive Centrelink benefits)

Do you offer loans for other car-related expenses?

Not only do we offer car registration loans, we also offer other car-related financial assistance. Here are some examples of other costs we may be able to provide you with a loan to cover:

• CTP insurance: you can expect to pay upwards of $300 for CTP insurance, as it is compulsory insurance in Australia; there is no way to avoid this cost
• Car insurance: there are a number of insurance options for you to consider, along with the compulsory CTP insurance. If you choose comprehensive car insurance, this is often hundreds of dollars
• Car repairs and maintenance: it is recommended to get your car serviced half-yearly. This can often be very expensive, especially if repairs are needed.

Can I get a car registration loan with bad credit?

Nifty Loans is an online lender. This means that, unlike traditional lenders, we can be more lenient in our credit requirements. We will conduct a thorough financial analysis, including a credit check and assessment of your bank statements, to ensure that a personal loan is affordable for you. If we determine that you can manage your loan, we may be able to offer you a bad credit personal loan.

While we may be able to offer you a loan with bad credit, every application is subject to a thorough assessment. We adhere to the responsible lending guidelines set by ASIC and will never lend an applicant money if we believe they cannot afford to repay their loan.

FAQs

How are car registration costs calculated?

Vehicle registration is usually made up of 3 components:

• Vehicle Registration Fee: this provides essential funding for transport infrastructure and maintenance
• Traffic Improvement Fee: this is a non-refundable fee collected by the Department of Transport and Main Roads for construction and maintenance of the state’s road network
• Insurance: each state has its own version of basic level, third-party insurance. If a personal causes injury to someone else in a motor vehicle accident, this insurance protects the vehicle owners and drivers from being held financially responsible. This doesn’t cover the cost of damage to the other person’s car or property. 

Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania currently charge according to the number of cylinders a vehicle has. The larger the number of cylinders, the higher the fee. These are grouped into main cylinder groups, 2, 4, 6 and 8. 

Victoria charges a flat fee for all light vehicles, although the fee is determined by the location the vehicle is kept, i.e. metropolitan area, outer metro and rural. The further out from the city, the lower the fee. This is because the city is considered a high risk area whereas a rural area is considered low risk. 

New South Wales, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory’s fees are based on the individual vehicle’s tare weight. 

The Northern Territory bases their registration fees on engine capacity.
