You can make Mazda payments online, by phone, or via good old snail mail, but credit card payments are not mentioned on Mazda’s website.

Mazda Financial Services allows its customers to make their payments online, via telephone, or through the mail. Unfortunately, there is no information on the carmaker’s website saying that credit card payments are allowed.

If you are twisting yourself in knots trying to figure out how to make your Mazda car payments, twist no more—you can easily pay your bill online, through the mail, or over the phone. If you don’t currently own a Mazda but are thinking about leasing one or taking out a car loan on a Mazda, our handy table below will help you estimate the average monthly cost for one of the Japanese automaker’s most popular models.

How to pay your Mazda car bill

Unfortunately, nothing worth having is free—including that nimble Mazda sitting in your driveway. If you’ve leased or financed a Mazda, you’ll have to fork over some cold, hard cash every month. But Mazda keeps things simple, so doing so is easy—pay online, by phone, or by mail.

Online

To pay your Mazda bill online, you’ll first have to sign up for an MFS Account. Once you do that, you’ll be able to automatically schedule recurring payments or make a one-time payment. When signing up for an MFS Account, add your bank account number and bank routing number to your MFS account under the settings tab.

Using your MFS Account to make your Mazda payments is free.

By phone

Call 806-693-2332 to make an agent-assisted payment, where an agent will guide you over the phone to use your checking or saving account to make your payment.

By mail

You can use snail mail to make your payment as well. Be sure to make your check payable to Mazda Financial Services, and mail the check and payment stub from your monthly bill to one of the two following addresses:

In person

Unfortunately, there is no information on the Mazda Financial Services website indicating the ability to pay your bill in person with either cash or a credit card (using a third party service such as Western Union or MoneyGram).

Can I make my Mazda payments with a credit card?

Unfortunately, no. You can only pay your Mazda bill online, by mail, or by phone through your bank account.

Is there a grace period for Mazda car payments?

Unfortunately, there is no grace period for missing a Mazda car payment, according to the Mazda Financial Services website. In fact, as a credit reporter, MFS is required to accurately report its customers’ payment history to the Credit Reporting Agencies. This means if you miss even one payment, your credit rating could take a hit.

How much are Mazda payments?

Mazda vehicles are considered some of the most reliable and affordable vehicles, so you’ll likely find you owe lower-than-average monthly payments if leasing or buying a Mazda. Starting prices for new Mazdas range from $22,225 for a Mazda CX-30 to $40,025 for a Mazda CX-9.

Check out the table below to get an idea of what your average loan payment might look like for one of Mazda’s best-selling vehicles. The below figures are based on several factors—the base trim price, a 10% down payment, a 72 month loan term, and an estimated interest rate of 4.90% (the average rate for new vehicle buyers with a credit score of between 640 and 780). But remember, your actual loan payment will depend on many factors, most importantly your credit rating.

ModelMSRP rangeAverage monthly payment
2023 Mazda CX-5$27,975 – $40,925$404
2023 Mazda CX-30$24,225 – $36,675$350
2023 Mazda 3$23,615 – $35,065$341
2023 Mazda CX-9$40,025 – $49,735$578
2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata$29,115 – $40,610$421

Again, the above figures are estimates—you’ll likely pay a different amount based on the purchase price of your Mazda, how much of a down payment you can afford, your credit score, any trade-ins, your loan term, and any special incentives. For instance, you’ll pay a lower monthly fee if you have a shorter loan term, but if you take out a loan on a used car, it will likely come with a higher APR than a new Mazda would.
