Common Questions.

Clear answers for confident decisions.

Can I refinance my current auto loan?
Yes! If rates have dropped or your credit has improved, refinancing can lower your monthly payment. SummitRate helps you compare offers from multiple lenders.
What credit score do I need?
Auto loan approvals vary by lender. Our network includes options for scores as low as 550, though better scores unlock significantly lower rates.
How much can I save by refinancing?
The average SummitRate borrower saves $1,800 over the life of their refinanced auto loan by securing a rate 2-3% lower than their original.
Does pre-approval affect my credit?
No. SummitRate uses a soft credit inquiry for pre-approval. A hard inquiry only occurs when you formally accept a loan offer.
Can I finance a private party purchase?
Yes, several lenders in our network offer financing for private party vehicle sales in addition to dealership purchases.
