We work with a panel of over 40 lenders and can turn around caravan loans in as little as 24 hours. But before signing off, it's important to know exactly what type of finance we offer, was well as the details of these associated benefits.
What is a consumer caravan loan?
Also known as a secured caravan loan, this type of financing essentially puts the vehicle itself up as security. A consumer caravan loan is the most common way to purchase a new or used recreational vehicle for private use. It is a simple loan between the lender and you. This means the caravan is in your name, and you can ride off and enjoy what Australia has to offer. However, if repayments aren't made as per the loan agreement, the caravan itself is the collateral, and is sold on.
It effectively puts the caravan up as insurance between you and incurring serious levels of debt! It's a simple, straightforward method of caravan finance that has proved incredibly popular with our customers. The benefits don't end there either.
Benefits of a consumer caravan loan
Caravan finance is a popular option for many people that come to us. It enables people to get on the road very quickly with their new purchase. Additionally, you may be able to gain some or all of the following bonuses:
- Borrowing capacity that reaches up to and beyond 100 per cent of the cost of a caravan, including insurance and accessories**. Conditions apply
- No deposit required.
- A fixed repayment schedule that ensures regular, stable costs - perfect for long term budgeting.
- Incredibly competitive interest rates.
- Loan terms that last anywhere between one and seven years.
Competitive interest rates
The interest rates for a secured caravan loan are often lower than a regular unsecured personal loan. This makes a consumer caravan loan attractive to most wage earners. Especially once you factor in that the interest rate is fixed for the entire term of the loan. With this in place, you know exactly what you will be paying with every transaction, which makes the secured caravan loan incredibly easy to budget for.
Even though there is a predetermined time frame for your caravan loan repayments, there is the option to pay it out at any time. This means that if your financial situation changes significantly or you receive a one-off windfall, you can exit the loan term by paying the remainder in one transaction - you aren't necessarily locked in for the full loan term.

Balloon benefits
The consumer caravan loan can also come in a balloon format, which means you make reduced payments during the loan term, and pay one larger bulk amount at the end of the loan term.
Insurance
When you take out a secured caravan loan, you have borrowing capacity that extends well beyond the full cost of the vehicle itself. This enables you to get the right insurance and protection for your vehicle and fold the costs into your borrowing.
Of course, make sure to carefully consider the type of insurance you will need. In addition to third party insurance, you could take on a comprehensive policy that covers a wide range of potential incidents - check with AAA Finance to see what works with your consumer caravan loan.
