    Types of Car Loan Interest Rates in 2025

    Before applying for a car loan, you must understand the two types of car loan interest rates you can secure in 2025. Each type has its merits and demerits, and you must choose the one suitable for your financial goals.

  • Fixed interest rate

    This type of interest rate does not change throughout the loan tenure. Fluctuations in the financial markets do not have any influence on it. Your EMI remains constant, enabling you to plan your monthly budget easily. Fixed interest rates are the right choice if financial instability in the market is expected.

  • Floating interest rate

    A floating interest rate changes with fluctuations in the market, particularly the base rate or the Marginal Cost of Funds Based Lending Rate (MCLR). Your EMI increases with a rise in market rate and declines when rates fall.

Car Loan Eligibility Criteria

We offer the best car loans with simple eligibility criteria and minimal documentation. We have different eligibility criteria for different types of applicants, including salaried and self-employed individuals.

Salaried Individuals :

  • The applicant must be aged between 21 and 60 years.

  • The applicant must have a minimum salary of Rs. 3 lakhs pa.

  • The applicant must have a minimum work experience of one year.
     

Self-Employed :

  • The applicant must have a minimum annual income of Rs. 3 lakhs.
     

Self-Employed (Others) :

  • The applicant must have a minimum annual income of Rs. 2 lakhs.

  • ABB must be at least 0.5x the loan EMI.

  • Income Proof – Copy of last three months' bank statements, Copy of latest 2 years Income Tax Returns (ITR)/audited Balance Sheet, and Profit and Loss Statements along with last three months' Bank Statements

  • Proof of Residence : A copy of your Voter ID / Passport / Driving License / Aadhaar Card
  • Copy of Invoice
  • Copy of signature along with proof

Factors affecting loan against car interest rate

  • Credit score: You can get a better interest rate if your credit score is higher. It is because a higher score indicates lower credit risk. 

  • Loan amount: Larger loan amounts may attract slightly higher interest rates. 

  • Loan tenure: The longer the tenure, the higher the interest rate. Similarly, the shorter the tenure, the lower the interest rate. 

  • Income and repayment capacity: A steady income and low debt-to-income ratio improve your chances of securing a lower interest rate.

  • Repayment history: If you have a strong record of timely repayments, lenders feel confident in giving you a loan and often offer a lower interest rate. 

  • Market conditions: Interest rates may change based on the RBI’s policy rate changes and the overall economic environment.

Tips for Getting a Better Interest Rate

    Here are some useful tips to help you secure a better car loan interest rate:

  • Aim for a credit score of 750 or above to improve your eligibility for lower rates.
  • Compare interest rates across banks and NBFCs before making a loan application.

  • Opt for a shorter tenure. Shorter tenures usually come with lower interest rates and lower total interest outgo.

  • Try to make a higher down payment. Paying more up front reduces the loan amount and can lead to better interest terms.

  • Negotiate with lenders, especially if you have a strong credit and repayment history.

  • Extra features can inflate costs, so it is advisable to choose only what’s essential.
