Chattel mortgage is the most common structure for trailer finance in Australia. You own the trailer from day one and claim the interest and depreciation as tax deductions if you are GST-registered. Finance lease and commercial hire purchase are also available.

  • Chattel mortgage — own the asset from day one, interest and depreciation tax-deductible
  • Finance lease — lender retains ownership until residual is paid
  • Commercial hire purchase — fixed repayments, ownership transfers at end of term
  • Operating lease — suitable for regular fleet replacement cycles

Curtainsider Trailer finance rates range from 6.1% to 15.99% per annum. Established businesses with clean credit financing new curtainsider trailers attract the lowest rates. Used assets, new ABNs and adverse credit attract higher rates within this range.

Finance terms from 1 to 7 years are available. Balloon residuals can be structured to reduce monthly repayments. Fill in the form above or call Simon — we compare 80+ lenders in one application with no cost to you.

Most trailer finance applications receive a credit decision within 24 to 48 hours. Same-day approvals are available for straightforward low doc applications.

How to Get the Cheapest Curtainsider Trailer Finance

To get the cheapest curtainsider trailer finance through Overdrive Funding, there are several things you can do before applying. Being organised before you make contact helps us move faster and puts us in a better position to negotiate the sharpest available rate on your behalf.

Get Pre-Approved Before Shopping

A pre-approval lets Overdrive negotiate from a position of strength before you commit to a curtainsider trailer. It also tells you your exact budget, so you are not wasting time inspecting assets you cannot afford to settle.

How We Get You the Cheapest Deal

  • We compare every commercial lender in Australia — not just the major banks
  • We provide a full written finance quote with your true effective rate including all fees and charges
  • Our quotes include: interest rate, establishment fees, monthly repayments, balloon payment, total amount payable, and early payout fees

Compare Before You Sign

Never accept the first finance offer from a dealer or your current bank without comparing it against the broader market. Dealer finance is almost always priced at a margin above the lender's floor rate.

  • Interest rate
  • Monthly repayments
  • Establishment fees
  • Balloon payment
  • Total amount payable

Provide as Much Information Upfront

The more complete your application, the easier it is to place you with the lender offering the best pricing. Incomplete applications often stall or attract higher rates.

  • ABN
  • Years trading
  • GST registration
  • Curtainsider Trailer make and model
  • Purchase price
  • Dealer, auction or private seller
  • Whether it's new or used
  • Deposit (if any)

What Affects Your Interest Rate?

  • Time your ABN has been trading
  • Credit history
  • Deposit (if any)
  • New or used asset
  • Purchase price
  • Brand
  • Business financial strength
  • Whether you're buying from a dealer, auction or private seller

Indicative Rates (2026)

Prime commercial borrowers are seeing rates from around 6.1%–15.99% p.a., while higher-risk or newer businesses generally pay more depending on their profile.

Don't Apply With Multiple Lenders Yourself

Submitting applications directly to several banks results in multiple credit enquiries on your file, which can lower your credit score and make it harder to get approved. Overdrive Funding uses one application to compare lenders — protecting your credit file while we do the shopping.

Ask If You Qualify for No-Deposit Finance

Many businesses don't need a deposit. Eligible applicants — typically those with 2+ years ABN history and clean credit — can access no-deposit curtainsider trailer finance, helping preserve working capital for operational expenses.

Consider Full Doc If You Qualify

If your business has strong financials, a Full Doc application generally provides access to the most competitive interest rates available. Low Doc is faster and requires less paperwork but can attract higher pricing than Full Doc.
