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.

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.
