What we like and what we don’t like
Here are some of the benefits and drawbacks of myAutoLoan auto loans.
What we like
- Flexible qualification criteria. You may be able to qualify for financing for a new or used car if your gross annual income is at least $21,600 and you have a FICO score of 575 or higher.
- Rapid funding. If approved for an auto loan, you can get the funds in as few as 24 hours.
- Rates published online. The lowest interest rates on auto loan products are updated daily on the website.
What we don't like
- Not available in some states. Borrowers in Alaska and Hawaii are out of myAutoLoan’s service footprint.
- Customer support is not available by phone. There’s no toll-free number to call if you need assistance. Instead, you’ll have to submit an online request for someone to call you back if you need assistance.
How to contact myAutoLoan

You can use myAutoLoan to explore competitive auto loan purchase, refinance, private party and lease buyout options.
New and used purchase loans
You can get rate quotes to compare against what your usual financial institution is offering or avoid the long wait at the dealership. Even better, you can shop with confidence as you’ll have the leverage needed to negotiate the best deal with a check in hand.
Auto refinance loans
If your monthly car payments are too much for your budget, consider refinancing your auto loan. You may qualify for a lower interest rate or extended loan term, which can help you keep more of your hard-earned money in your pocket now or over time.
Private party auto loans
Did you find a good deal on a vehicle through a private seller? Avoid fees and haggling at the dealership with a private party auto loan. MyAutoLoan can help you find a loan fast to ensure you can take advantage of the deal before it’s gone.
Lease buyout loans
If you've fallen in love with your leased car — or just want to avoid fees and penalties — you can buy it at the end of your lease. To know if you can qualify, check out the buyout price you negotiated at the start of your lease.
How to apply for a loan with myAutoLoan
The application process with myAutoLoan is fast and simple. Start by submitting the online inquiry form. It takes two minutes to complete, and you’ll receive up to four offers from lenders in the myAutoLoan network if there’s a match.
If one of the loan offers works for you, submit a formal application with the lender and upload the required documents.
Once you receive the final approval from the lender, you can sign the loan documents and will receive your check or online certificate within 24 hours. It can then be used to purchase a new or used vehicle or refinance your current auto loan.
