Is a 0% caravan loan better than another deal that offers 5% interest rate? At first glance, it seems to be the case but if the 0% interest rate is packed with a lot of fees, you might be better off with a 5% caravan finance.
Read the fine print and have your agent list down all the extra charges and fees that you need to pay so you know exactly how much you are spending. You may be surprised with all the additional fees that lender is charging! Remeber if it is too good to be true, It probably is!

They request a quote from multiple lenders and help you choose one that suits you best, generally without any negative inpacts on your credit score.
Easy Leisure Loan Repayment OptionsDifferent options allow you to manage your finances well. Depending on your plans, you can pay off your loan early, have a varying interest rate so you can take advantage of rate cuts, or choose to pay a lower monthly repayment with a lump sum at the end of the loan term.
Fixed Interest Rate – With this type of loan, your monthly payment is fixed for the entire term of the loan. This is perfect for those who are budget conscious and wants to know exactly what they need to pay month after month.Variable Interest Rate – Means that your repayments could go up or down depending on the current interest rates. Lenders may have different ways in implementing rate cuts and increases so make sure to ask about this if you are considering a variable interest rate for your caravan loan.Balloon Payment – Means you pay a lump sum at the end of the loan term and you also have the option to refinance the lump sum in case you do not have ready money for it. One of the main advantage of having a balloon payment is that your monthly repayments are low.Early Loan Termination – If you have extra money, you may want to pay off your loan early to save on interest payment and to free yourself from the burden of paying month after month. Lenders may charge an early termination fee though so make sure to ask about this option if early loan termination is a possibility for you.Additional Payments – This is one of the best features many of our lender partners provide. When you pay more every month you can actually save on your interest payments and pay off the caravan loan early.

New or Private Sale Leisure LoanBuying new or used have their own advantages and disadvantages, for example Caravans, Boats or 4X4's.Used Low price.Ability to buy high end models without the high end price.Slower depreciation than brand new ones.No waiting time for delivery.New Lower interest rate.Manufacturer’s warranty.New and advanced technology.Option to custom build your caravan, boat or 4X4.
Money is not the only factor when deciding whether to buy new or used. First time buyers may find it better to buy a used one in order to decide whether a caravaning, boating or 4X4ing is really fit for their lifestyle. The built in features are also something to consider. Do your really need fully optioned or honestly the base with your own touch would do?
Types of Financing
Secured Caravan Loan – The caravan serves as a security for the loan and the lender can repossess and sell it in case you default on the loan. Interest rates are usually lower if the loan is secured.
Unsecured Caravan Loan – This is the opposite of a secured loan. The caravan is not tied to the loan and therefore cannot be taken if you fail to make repayments. Lenders will go after you and recover their losses through other legal means. Interest rates are higher if a loan is unsecured.
