Personal Loan for Vehicle
Whether you want to buy a two-wheeler, a pre-owned car, a new small car, or fund the down payment on a bigger vehicle, a Personal Loan can help.
What Is a Personal Loan for a Vehicle?
A Personal Loan for a vehicle is an unsecured loan that you can use to buy or part-finance any vehicle - a two-wheeler, a new or used car, an electric vehicle or any other legal vehicle purchase. Unlike a traditional auto loan, the vehicle is not mortgaged or hypothecated to the lender. The approval is based on your personal credit profile and income. Hero FinCorp's Personal Loan can be applied for fully online and disbursed directly to your bank account.

Tips for a Smooth Vehicle Personal Loan Approval
- Check your credit score first: 725 and above improves both approval and rate.
- Calculate total cost-of-ownership: Factor in registration, insurance and maintenance before finalising the loan amount.
- Maintain a low debt-to-income ratio: Keep total EMIs below 50% of your monthly income.
- Avoid multiple simultaneous applications: Each enquiry can slightly reduce your credit score.
- Use the EMI calculator before you apply: Pick a tenure that keeps EMIs affordable over the loan period.
