Save money on your auto loan
If you’re struggling with your car payments or just hoping to save some money on your auto loan, now could be a great time to refinance your current auto loan.
By refinancing, you’ll receive a new car loan with a lower interest rate and lower monthly payments. If you keep the term the same, you could save thousands over the life of the loan. You can also choose to extend your term to get your monthly payments even lower, but keep in mind this could cause you to pay more money in interest over the life of the loan. Estimate your auto refinance with our auto refinance calculator to see if you can save money by refinancing. Whatever you’re looking for, let LendingTree help you find opportunities to save on your car loan.
What is an auto refinance?
An auto refinance is the process of applying for a new auto loan to pay off your existing auto loan, hopefully with a better interest rate and better terms. If your credit score has improved or if interest rates have gone down since you first financed your car, refinancing your auto loan could lower your monthly payment and save you thousands of dollars over the life of your loan.
