Can I refinance my car if I don't have a job?
I'm looking to save money any way I can, as I lost my job, and I'm thinking about refinancing my car. However, I'm not sure if I can do that without a job—so can I still refinance my car if I'm unemployed?

Sorry to hear about your job loss. But with a new
car loan
refinance, you can hopefully save money to weather the storm! If you’re relying solely on unemployment income to refinance your car, a loan with a decent interest rate isn’t likely—but here are some other factors that may help get you approved:- You have other sources of income
- You have a debt-to-income ratio of 43% or less
- You have great credit
- You have a cosigner
If you can have a combination of these factors, you can probably garner consideration for a car loan!
If you’re looking to save money, you may want to also take a look at your car insurance policy, especially if you feel like you’re paying too much. One easy way to do this is through the
