What does a car loan cost?
When you borrow money, you repay a fixed amount for the principal and interest each month. The interest rate is fixed for the entire term of the loan. You can make fee-free additional repayments whenever you want. Calculate your car loan.
What is the current interest rate?
The interest rate depends on how much you borrow and your personal situation, like what you earn and whether you own your home or rent it. Check the current interest rates for loans.
What requirements do I need to meet to borrow money for a car?
You can apply for car finance if you:
- are aged 21 to 68
- have sufficient income
- live in the Netherlands
What’s the difference between borrowing from a bank, a dealer or a private lease company?
- Bank: the money will be paid into your account as a single lump sum. The car will become your property immediately upon purchase.
- Dealer: you often purchase the car in instalments, paying part of the purchase amount in each instalment. The car only becomes your property once you have paid all the instalments.
- Private lease: you make monthly payments for use of the car. This often includes insurance, maintenance and repairs. The car remains the property of the lease company.
Can I also borrow money for a second-hand car?
Yes, it doesn’t matter whether the car is new or second-hand. The money will be paid into your account as a single lump sum. Find out how much you can borrow.
Can I still take a loan if I’m self-employed or an entrepreneur?
Yes, in that case you can still take out a personal loan with us. We will look at your annual figures and your income tax returns for the past 2 years.

The term of a personal loan ranges between 12 months and 144 months. The annual percentage rate (APR) expresses all costs associated with the loan. Apart from interest, there will be no additional cost. The annual percentage rate ranges between 5.0% and 8.8%.
Good to know: in the month in which your loan is paid out, you only pay a one-off interest charge. This is the interest from the pay-out date of the loan until the end of the month.
