First Car

At Defence Home Loans, we understand that purchasing your first car is a significant milestone. Whether you've just enlisted, completed your initial training, or you're transitioning from shared transport on base, we can help you secure a loan for your first car. Our tailored car loan packages consider the unique financial situations of ADF personnel, including allowances and deployment pay. We offer competitive interest rates, flexible repayment plans, and personalised support throughout the application process. Whether you need a reliable vehicle to get to and from base or something fuel-efficient for personal use, we ensure your first car meets your needs and fits within your budget.

Family Car

As an ADF member, your service demands reliability and adaptability, and your family vehicle should reflect these same qualities. When it comes to family cars, we know you need something spacious, safe, and dependable that can handle posting relocations and family life. Our family car loans are designed to help you find the perfect vehicle that can accommodate your growing family's needs, even with the uncertainty of future postings. We offer a range of loan options with features like extended loan terms and lower monthly payments, making it easier to manage your finances while ensuring you're driving a vehicle that provides comfort and security. From people movers to SUVs, our team is here to assist you in choosing the best family car that suits your military lifestyle.

Sports Car

For those who seek excitement and performance in their driving experience, a sports car might be the perfect choice for your personal time. At Defence Home Loans, we cater to current and former ADF members who are looking to finance their dream sports car. Our sports car loans come with competitive rates and flexible terms that work around deployment schedules, allowing you to enjoy the thrill of driving without compromising your financial stability. Whether you're eyeing a sleek coupe or a high-performance convertible, we provide tailored solutions to help you get behind the wheel of a sports car that fits your passion for speed and style.

Work Vehicle

If you're transitioning out of the ADF or need personal transport for civilian work alongside your service, a reliable work vehicle might be essential. Defence Home Loans offers specialised loans for work vehicles, perfect for ADF members who need dependable transport for side businesses or post-service careers. Our work vehicle loans feature favourable terms that consider the unique demands of military life, including potential postings and varying income during deployments.

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a conversation about your vehicle goals – whether you're buying a new or used car, upgrading your current vehicle, or looking to refinance an existing car loan. Defence Home Loans brokers explain the car loan process, assess your financial position including ADF allowances and deployment income, and begin identifying suitable options from a wide panel of banks and lenders across Australia who understand military circumstances.

Financial Assessment

Your broker conducts a detailed review of your finances, including regular income, allowances, deployment pay, expenses, assets, liabilities and savings. They assess your borrowing capacity considering your unique ADF income structure and explain key terms such as secured vs unsecured car loans, balloon payments, and how your credit history may affect your loan options. Your broker also considers how postings and deployments might impact your loan requirements.

Loan Comparison & Selection

With a clear understanding of your financial position and military lifestyle, Defence Home Loans brokers research and compare a range of car loan products suitable for ADF members. These may include loans with fixed or variable interest rates, flexible repayment terms that accommodate deployment schedules, or features like no early exit fees for posting relocations. Our brokers help you compare the pros and cons of each option so you can confidently choose a loan that suits your budget, service commitments, and long-term goals.

Loan Pre-Approval

Securing a loan pre-approval gives you a clear idea of how much you can borrow and helps you shop for your next car with confidence, whether you're stationed locally or buying interstate due to an upcoming posting. Your broker prepares and submits the required documents – such as payslips, allowance statements, bank statements and ID – to the lender for initial assessment. Pre-approval also puts you in a stronger position when negotiating with dealerships or private sellers, especially important if you're buying remotely.

Formal Loan Application

Once you've found the right car and chosen your preferred loan, your broker submits the formal application to the lender, managing all processes regardless of where you're currently stationed. They handle all necessary paperwork, respond to any lender queries, and keep you informed every step of the way through our online platform to ensure a smooth and efficient process that works around your military commitments.

Loan Approval & Settlement Preparation

When your car loan is approved, your broker reviews the loan agreement with you and ensures you understand all the key details – including interest rate, fees, repayment schedule and any conditions attached to the loan. They also arrange for the funds to be released, either to you or directly to the seller or dealership, coordinating timing around your availability and posting schedules.

Settlement & Ongoing Support

At settlement, your lender disburses the funds and you're ready to drive away in your new car, with all processes managed efficiently whether you're on base or deployed. Defence Home Loans brokers work with all parties involved to make sure everything is finalised correctly and on time. After settlement, we remain available to support you with managing your repayments during deployments, refinancing as your circumstances change, or future finance needs throughout your military career and beyond.
