A bank is a great place to start your search for a
car loan
—but it isn’t the only place to find a good rate.
Shopping around is always your best bet when you’re looking for a car loan, so you should also consider:
  • Credit unions
  • Online lenders
  • Dealerships
All of these lenders offer competitive rates, and they may even have promotional rates that you can take advantage of.
No matter where you get a loan from, make sure to shop around for car insurance rates for your new vehicle, too! Your lender will require full-coverage insurance, so doing some research can save you money.
