Through our free trailer loan comparison service, we'll compare any quote against our panel to secure you a lower rate with reduced repayments. Never rely on a verbal interest rate. Many brokers and dealer quote rates over the phone without disclosing all fees and charges, making finance appear cheaper than it really is. That's why it's essential to get your quote in writing to compare actual repayments, as they reveal the true cost of the loan. If you've received a quote, send it through for a free review. We'll break down the interest rate, repayments, fees, loan structure, and total cost, identify any hidden charges, and let you know if a better deal is available. A few minutes spent comparing finance options could save your business thousands over the life of the loan.

FAQ
Semi-Trailer Finance — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this type of finance — answered.
What types of semi-trailers can you finance?
We finance flat-top semi-trailers, curtainsiders, refrigerated semi-trailers, tanker semi-trailers, drop-deck semis, skeletal trailers and B-train semi-trailers -- new and used.
Can I bundle semi-trailer finance with a prime mover?
Yes. We arrange combined packages covering both a prime mover and semi-trailer(s) in a single application -- often with better terms than financing separately.
Can I get low doc semi-trailer finance?
Yes. Low doc is available up to $500k with just your ABN, driver's licence and bank statements.
Can I finance a used semi-trailer?
Yes. We finance used semi-trailers from dealers, private sellers and auctions -- assessed based on age, condition and type.
Do I need insurance before settlement?
Yes. Most lenders require proof of comprehensive insurance before settlement -- arrange this in advance to avoid delays.
What loan terms are available for semi-trailer finance?
Terms typically range from 24 to 84 months. Longer terms reduce monthly repayments while shorter terms reduce total interest paid.
Is a deposit required?
No deposit is required for eligible ABN holders with a strong credit and trading profile. A deposit can help improve your rate or secure approval if your credit profile is less straightforward.
Can I finance a used asset?
Yes. Finance is available for new and used assets. Age limits vary by lender and asset type. We identify the right lender for your specific asset.
How quickly can I get approved?
Most applications receive a decision within 24–48 hours. Once approved, your pre-approval is valid for 90 days.
Can I get low doc finance?
Yes. Low doc (no financial statements) finance is available up to $500,000 for eligible ABN holders. We typically need your ABN, driver's licence and bank statements.
Can I finance from a private seller?
Yes. We arrange finance for assets purchased from private sellers anywhere in Australia. The lender pays the seller directly on settlement.
Can I finance with bad credit?
Yes. Specialist lenders on our panel consider applicants with a range of credit profiles, including those who have been declined by banks.
What is the typical loan term?
Loan terms typically range from 2 to 7 years depending on the asset type, value and your cash flow requirements.
Can I refinance existing finance?
Yes. Refinancing can reduce your rate, lower repayments or release equity. We compare refinance options across 80+ lenders.
Are repayments tax-deductible?
Interest repayments under a chattel mortgage are tax-deductible. You can also claim depreciation on the asset and GST upfront. Speak with your accountant about your specific situation.
Is insurance required?
Yes. Most lenders require comprehensive insurance before settlement. We can assist with arranging cover.
Can I use a balloon payment?
Yes. A balloon payment reduces monthly repayments by deferring a lump sum to the end of the term. We size it to match the asset's expected resale value.
Does applying affect my credit score?
No. Submitting an enquiry with us doesn't affect your credit score. We only proceed to a formal credit application with your explicit approval.
What is the minimum loan amount?
Most lenders have a minimum of $10,000–$20,000 for asset finance. We'll confirm the minimum for your specific asset type.
Can I get pre-approval?
Yes. Pre-approval locks in your borrowing limit and indicative rate for 90 days — ideal before buying from auction or a private seller.
