That’s a big move, and I hope you’ve enjoyed your time here so far!
The good news is that you can get a car loan
with no credit, but your options will be more limited, and you may have a higher interest rate. Your credit score and history are the main influences in a lender offering to provide you with a loan, how much they are willing to offer, and your interest rate. Without having this information to rely on, you are considered a high-risk applicant and will have to find a lender understanding of your situation.
Fortunately, some lenders specialize in providing loans for any credit background, and you should shop around to compare offers from a few lenders to find the best rate. To help increase your chances of finding a loan:
Make a sizeable down payment
Have steady employment and income
Once your application has been reviewed and approved, you’ll need car insurance
with comprehensive
and collision
coverage. Similar to finding the best loan agreement, you should shop around and compare quotes from multiple insurance companies to find the best car insurance rate.
