What Affects Boat and RV Loan Rates?
A good boat or RV loan rate depends on several key factors. Factors such as credit score, loan terms, and proper documentation also play a role in successful boat and RV loan approval. Here's a quick look at what can affect your rate:
- Credit Score: Higher scores usually get lower rates. At US-DFS, we also work with customers who have low credit scores.
- Loan Term: Shorter terms often have lower rates but higher monthly payments. Longer terms may cost more in interest, but reduce your monthly payment.
- Down Payment: A larger down payment can lower your rate and reduce the total loan amount.
- New vs. Used: New boats and RVs typically qualify for better loan rates than used ones.
- Lender Type: Rates can vary between banks, credit unions, and dealerships. It's smart to compare.
