Vehicle Finance Loans on the Sunshine Coast

A Vehicle Finance Loan—sometimes called a chattel mortgage, commercial hire purchase (CHP), hire-purchase loan, or novated lease—is a flexible way to finance your next vehicle purchase, whether it’s a trades van, family SUV, electric car, or work ute. You’re able to spread the cost over manageable installments instead of depleting your savings.

What Is a Vehicle Finance Loan & How Does It Work?

  • Chattel Mortgage: You own the vehicle from day one; rentals and interest reduce your GST and taxable profits.
  • Commercial Hire Purchase (CHP): Ownership transfers after final payment—ideal for predictable budgets.
  • Personal Car Loan: Straightforward loan for private usage.
  • Novated Lease: Employee salary package covering vehicle payments, insurance, and running costs.

The vehicle acts as security, allowing lenders to offer competitive terms. You pay GST back to yourself and claim depreciation and interest as tax deductions (if used for business).


Are You Among the Most Common Sunshine Coast Borrowers?

  1. Tradies & Contractors: Need dependable transport for tools and jobs—often benefit from fast approvals and flexible repayment scheduling.
  2. Small or New Families: Investing in safety and space without disrupting finances—often layering finance with household growth plans.
  3. Growing Businesses: Adding vehicles to support client services, deliveries, or expansion—vehicle finance allows cash preservation and future scalability.
  4. Health or consultancy professionals: Need mobile workspaces or reliable commuting—structure payments around income flow and business use.
