When should I refinance my vehicle?
Refinancing a vehicle loan makes sense when it helps to lower a monthly payment and/or an annual percentage rate. It can also allow you to add warranty, GAP coverage and/or payment protection insurance to your loan or to access net funds from the value of your vehicle.

Can I extend my loan term when I refinance my vehicle?
Depending on your circumstances, you may have the option to extend your loan term, which can lower your monthly payments. When you complete your refinancing application, include the loan term you desire.

I have GAP coverage through another institution. Will it still apply if I refinance?
In most cases you will need to purchase new GAP when refinancing as GAP covers the loan and when you refinance you will now have a new loan. Please check with your current GAP carrier to verify this information.
