The loan is suitable for a range of vehicle types, including new and used cars up to 3 years old, motorcycles, caravans and motorhomes. If you haven't chosen your vehicle yet, a pre-approval service is available. If you're an NRMA Member you can also enjoy an interest rate discount.
Features of the NRMA Car Loan
This loan comes with a range of competitive features and benefits which are outlined below.
- Interest rate. Having a fixed interest rate allows you to easily budget for your loan repayments with the same regular monthly payment amount. The fixed interest rate for this loan is 7.29%
- Discount for electric vehicles. If your loan is for an eligible fully electric vehicle you will recieve a 1.5% discount on your personalised interest rate. That means that Electric vehicle loan interest rates start from 5.79% p.a. (comparison rate from 6.49% p.a.)
- Members discount. With an NRMA membership, you can take advantage of their exclusive member offer and get a discounted interest rate which means you can lower your repayments. The NRMA benefits save members 1% p.a. on the loan rate. This offer is available to new or used vehicles over 3 years old and is not applicable to vehicles eligible for the promotional rate of 7.29% p.a.
- Loan terms. You can choose loan terms to help keep your repayments manageable – terms are available between 1 year and 7 years.
- Repayment flexibility. NRMA Car Loan offers a fairly flexible repayment term option. You can choose to pay either on a monthly basis or on a fortnightly basis and can make extra payments anytime.
- Loan amounts. You can choose to borrow between $5,000 and $130,000.
- Pre-approval and quick turnaround. NRMA Car Loan offers you a five-hour pre-approval service which can give you a fast approval within five business hours. This provides you a better bargaining power with your car dealer to get the best deals possible by having the funds on standby. Once all the paperwork is completed by NRMA, your funds are made available to you by the next working day.

Hi there, Interest rates are often priced based on risk, which is why providing accurate information when applying is really important. If you can find that lower rate online and you’ve entered all the same personal details as you shared when getting a phone quote, we recommend you contact NRMA and ask if they can offer you the lower rate. Best of luck!

Hi,
I applied for a car loan two days ago. At the end of application I was told I would hear from someone within five hours. I’m still waiting – now thinking maybe I don’t qualify but as a member a response would have been nice.
Disappointed

Hi,
We attempted to apply for a new car loan as a joint application but when you get to the section where it asks for your employment details it would only let us enter the details for 1 person. We had selected joint application and entered the personal details for each person but we couldn’t enter the employment details. We tried to then call but it was after 6pm. Is it possible to do the online application in joint names or will we have to call the call centre?

Hi Kailie,
You should be able to complete the joint application online if it gave you that option initially. However, as the application is handled by NRMA you’ll need to get in contact with them directly.
Sorry I couldn’t be of more assistance,
Elizabeth

Hello,
I noticed some similar questions from a while back but I would just like some updated clarification on some things.
1. I see the comparison rate of 7.02% applies to a $30,000 loan over 5 years, how would the rate differ if it was 7 years and $35,000 for example?
2. It mentions that as an NRMA member there is a 1% discount for the above example instead of 7.02% it would be 6.02%, right?
3. I read in an earlier answer if the loan was paid fully three quarter is the term there would be a $200 or 2% fee which ever is higher, is this still the case? And would there be a fee for paying a larger amount for example $5000?
Thanks.

Hi Moses,
Thanks for your questions.
1) You can work out your repayments with our online personal loan calculator. Generally, over a longer period, there would be more fees associated with the loan and the total amount repaid would be higher with a lower comparison rate.
2) Yes, NRMA do offer a discount for members, however the 1% discount does not apply to the promotional 6.5% rate.
3) Yes you are correct, if you pay the loan back in under 70% of the loan term then you would pay the $200 or a 2% fee on the remaining balance, whichever is higher. However, you are able to make early repayments with no charge, as long as you don’t pay the total loan back in under 70% of the loan term.
Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.
Hope this helps,
Elizabeth
