Car Loan financing rates in the Philippines

Looking to buy a new car soon?

If you don’t have enough cash on hand, chances are you’ll rely on car loans to finance your purchase. Do you know which banks offer the best car deals?

Check out our list below to guide you!

Sample computations for a purchase of a car that costs P700,000 are shown below.

The bank would normally require 20% downpayment, which means P140,000 will already be paid outright to the bank. This leaves you with a total principal car loan in the amount of P560,000.

Assuming you plan to pay this P560,000 balance in 36 months (3 years), you can check out the table below to see how much:

  1. the annual interest rate charged to your loan;
  2. the amount of your monthly car loan installment; and
  3. the total interest you will pay to the bank.
