03. We compare lenders for you
We match you with the lenders most likely to suit your situation so you don't waste time or risk unnecessary credit checks.

You review the car finance offer and decide if you want to move forward. The choice is always yours.
Why use Lending Room for your car loan?
Why use Lending Room for your car loan?
Comparing car loans on your own can be time-consuming and risky for your credit score. As a specialist broker we compare car finance options from trusted lenders for you, helping you find a loan that fits your budget and repayment preferences.
Beat the Dealership & Save
Dealers often mark up interest rates to boost their profit margins. We compare wholesale lenders to secure a car finance rate that beats the car yards and puts that extra money back in your pocket.
Protect Your Healthy Credit Score
Shopping around yourself leaves "footprints" on your credit file that can scare lenders. We assess your profile first and match you with the right lender to ensure your credit score stays protected.

Walk onto the car yard with cash buyer power
The best way to negotiate a great price on a car is to have your money sorted before you test drive.
Getting pre-approved for car finance means you know exactly what you can spend. It stops dealers from selling you on “monthly payments” and lets you focus on the actual price of the car.
With one simple form we connect you with premium Kiwi lenders for fast pre-approval so you can negotiate with confidence.

Yes. Many of our lending partners consider visa holders depending on visa type and length.
Yes, for personal loans we do charge a fee, this is called a broker or introducer fee. As every application is unique, the fee charged will vary depending on the work and time spent on attaining the loan approval for you. The broker/introducer fee can be added to the total loan amount and is not required to be paid up front. For home loans we are paid a commission from the bank for successful applications, in some instances where a commission is not paid, then a fee may be charged. All fees that apply to your lending will be discussed with you before you commit to anything.
You’ll usually hear back within the same business day. In most cases we’ll have an update for you within a few hours. If it takes longer it is usually because we are waiting on missing documents like your bank statement, ID or other required information. Once we have everything we need we can move quickly and it will be no more than two working days.
Yes. Refinancing may help reduce repayments or simplify your finances, depending on your situation.
