Skoda finance options

What types of Skoda finance options are available?

The best Skoda finance option for you will depend on your financial situation, whether you're buying for personal use or business and how long you plan to keep the car. Here are your main options:

Secured car loan

A loan where the car acts as collateral. These are the most common type of loan used to purchase a vehicle and they typically come with lower interest rates.

Unsecured car loan

Unsecured car loans often come with higher interest rates, but you don't have to use the vehicle as security.

Chattel mortgage

A chattel mortgage is a form of secured car finance for business buyers. Small businesses should also keep in mind the Australian Government's small business tax break which was renewed in the federal government's most recent budget.

Novated lease

A chattel mortgage is a form of secured car finance for business buyers. Small businesses should also keep in mind the Australian Government's small business tax break which was renewed in the federal government's most recent budget.

Pre-approved car loan

Pre-approved car loans let you know the amount you're allowed to borrow up to, before you shop. Helps with negotiating price and staying within budget.

Commercial hire purchase

Popular with business owners, this option lets you own the vehicle at the end of the repayment term.

Mortgage redraw

If you have sufficient funds in an offset account or redraw facility attached to your home loan, you could use this money to buy your car. The main benefit is the lower interest rate - home loans usually have far lower rates than car or personal loans. However, redrawing means the amount gets added back to your mortgage, which may take 20-25 years to pay off unless you actively repay it faster. You could end up paying significantly more interest over the life of the mortgage. Do the maths carefully before choosing this route.

Mortgage refinance

If you've built up equity in your home, refinancing could give you access to funds for a vehicle purchase. This option may suit you if your property has increased in value or if you're switching to a more competitive home loan. Just be aware: you'll likely need a fresh property valuation and you might incur exit or refinance fees. This is best for people with strong equity and a long-term financial plan.

Credit card

Some buyers consider using a credit card for part or all of a car purchase - especially if they're chasing reward points or have a short-term repayment strategy. However, credit cards usually come with high interest rates. What might seem like a quick solution can quickly become expensive if you don't pay it off quickly. If you're going this route, compare credit card products carefully and factor in the interest rate, annual fee, and any surcharges the dealer might add for card payments.
