Thanks for your question.
Yes, there is an early repayment fee of $205 or 2% of the outstanding balance (whichever is greater) at the time the final payout is made. This will apply in the first 3 quarters of the original loan term only. For more info you may visit RACV website by clicking the ‘Go to site’ link above.

Hi guys
Just an FYI – Not sure why you have put the minimum loan amount as $15,000.
I just took out a car loan with them with a girl in Melbourne for less than $9,000, as I had a trade in.
The interest rate was slightly higher than 6.2%, but not by much.
Keep up the good work.
Hi Tim,
Thanks for your question.
The $15000 is actually the minimum amount that RACV offers at a low interest of 6.2% (best interest so far). Although they offer loans lower than that amount (at least $5000), the interest for lower amounts are actually higher – this is the same with your $9000 loan with a much higher rate.
Cheers,
May
Hi , why are the lenders asking for an application fee?
Surely over a period of 4 to 5 yr loan they make a healthy profit .
Puts me off applying .
Seems like just another fee for nothing .
Hi Alan,
Thanks for reaching out.
Lenders normally charge loan application fees to cover costs involved in processing the application such as credit checks and basic administrative costs.
You may want to check out this page for fixed car loans with lower application fees.

Does this loan offer Ballooning?
Is there a penalty/fee if I want to exit the loan before the end of loan term?
Hi Josh,
