Saving money is always helpful! There are a few different ways you can get end your
car loan
early:
  • Make larger payments. While you’re tight on money, this tip can help if you’re able to pull it off. Adding $50-$100 to your minimum payment amount every month can help you pay back the entirety of your loan quickly. It will also save on interest.
  • Make an extra payment once a year. If you can put some money aside, making an additional $400 payment, or whatever you can afford, every year will reduce your loan amount fast.
  • Refinance your loan.
