Features of a People’s Choice Credit Union car loan

People’s Choice provides secured and unsecured car loans for both new and used vehicles.

Borrowers may apply for a car loan between $2,000 and $100,000 and pay it off over a maximum loan term of 10 years. However, note that you may get a higher interest rate if you take out smaller loan amounts and if you go for an unsecured car loan.

People’s Choice charges a one-off establishment fee on its car loans. But there is no monthly fee and you can pay off your loan early without being penalised. There’s also a redraw facility with the car loan.

Secured car loans have fixed rates for the first five years, then reverts to a variable rate. Unsecured car loans have fixed rates for the entire term.

People’s Choice Credit Union car loans review

People’s Choice is a major credit union and may suit borrowers who prefer reputable lenders with history. It may also suit people who want different loan options.

But to qualify for a lower car loan interest rate, customers at People’s Choice must take out a secured car loan of $20,000 or more. If you intend to borrow less than $20,000, you may be able to find a car loan with a lower rate with another lender.

The interest rate you can get at this member-owned credit union may depend on various factors, including whether you go for a secured or unsecured car loan, the age of the vehicle being used as security and its value.

But as People’s Choice is a big credit union, its car loan interest rates may not be the lowest on the market.

To find the best car loan for you, it’s worthwhile to compare interest rates, fees and features from several different lenders before committing to a loan.
