Getting behind the wheel of your dream car shouldn’t be a nightmare—yet for many Aussies, securing car finance feels harder than it should be. Whether you’ve been turned down by a bank, have bad credit, or you’re self-employed with limited documentation, Capital Plus Finance is here to help. As experienced vehicle finance brokers in Australia, we specialise in finding car loan solutions that work for your unique situation. 

If you’re looking for car finance in Australia, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know to improve your chances of getting approved—even if you’ve been rejected before. 

 

Why Getting Approved for Car Finance Can Be Tough 

Many banks and traditional lenders apply rigid rules when assessing applications for car loans. If you don’t meet their narrow criteria—such as having a spotless credit history, full-time employment, or a large deposit—they often reject applications with little explanation. 

Common reasons for rejection include: 

  • Poor credit history or defaults 
  • Low income or irregular earnings 
  • Self-employment without strong financials 
  • Too many existing debts or credit inquiries 
  • Lack of documentation or credit file 

If any of these apply to you, don’t worry. You’re not alone—and there are still options available.

Top Tips to Improve Your Car Finance Approval Odds 

If you’re serious about securing vehicle finance in Australia, here are practical steps to strengthen your application: 

  1. Know Your Credit Score

Your credit score plays a key role in your application. Before applying, check your score through free services like Equifax or Credit Simple. If there are any errors, get them corrected. 

  1. Avoid Multiple Applications

Each finance application leaves a mark on your credit file. Too many inquiries can lower your score. Instead of applying to multiple lenders yourself, work with a broker who can compare rates without hurting your file. 

  1. Get Your Documents Ready

To apply for car finance, you’ll usually need: 

  • Valid ID (driver’s license or passport) 
  • Proof of income (payslips, bank statements, tax returns) 
  • Proof of address 
  • Information on the vehicle you want to buy (if known) 

If you’re self-employed, include your BAS statements or accountant-prepared financials. 

  1. Be Honest and Upfront

We can work with almost any situation—as long as we understand it fully. Be transparent about your income, expenses, credit history, and any debts. This allows us to structure the best possible application for you. 

 

What Type of Car Finance Is Right for You? 

There are a few common types of car finance options we can help you with: 

  • Secured Car Loan – Uses the vehicle as security. Usually offers lower interest rates. 
  • Unsecured Personal Loan – No security required. Flexible, but interest may be higher. 
  • Low Doc Car Loans – Ideal for self-employed applicants with limited documentation. 
  • Commercial Vehicle Finance – For work vehicles, vans, and utes under a business name. 

We’ll recommend the option that best suits your situation and goals.
