Paying off your
car loan
faster can often give you a leg up on your finances.
If you want to rid yourself of added debt, follow these tips:
  • Refinance the car loan if your interest rate is currently high
  • Double up on monthly payments
  • Make lump-sum payments
  • Round your loan amount up
Doing all of these things or a combination thereof should put you on the fast track for getting rid of your car loan. Keep in mind, however, some lenders have prepayment penalties, so you may want to check before you pay off your entire loan.
