The lending market has lately become very attractive leading to a general rise in the rate of borrowing. Car loans are particularly popular due to the relaxed rules on interest and repayment period. This has made it possible for many people to purchase cars which would otherwise have been impossible. These loans can be obtained from banks, cooperative societies and even car dealerships. An interested party makes an application like that of an ordinary loan. Afterwards vetting is done according to the rules of the lending institution.

Car loans are classified as either secured or unsecured. Secured loans are those that require the borrower to pledge some assets as collateral. In the event that he or she fails to clear the loan, then the items can be liquidated by the lender to recover the unpaid balance. This loan is usually given to people who have a not so good credit rating. It is also given to people who have not established a relationship with the lenders for instance first time borrowers.

Assets that are acceptable be most lenders as collateral for car loans include the vehicles themselves, buildings, share certificates insurance policy documents and even title deeds for land ownership in countries where individual land ownership is allowed.

Unsecured car loans on the hand do not require any security. They are advanced to people of high integrity and a proven credit record. The cost of this type is a bit high to cover for the possible risk involved. Lenders of this loan rely purely on the credit report of the borrowers.
