Unbeatable Rates - Always Compare Before Signing

We're known for securing the cheapest trailer finance rates, consistently beating quotes from banks, dealerships, and other brokers. 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.

Get Pre-Approved Before You Buy

A trailer finance pre-approval gives you a real advantage when buying from a dealership, auction, or private seller. With finance already in place, you'll know exactly what you can afford and have greater negotiating power as a serious buyer. We'll confirm your borrowing capacity, interest rate, loan term, and estimated repayments upfront. With decisions available in as little as 24 hours and approvals valid for up to 90 days, you'll be ready to act when the right trailer finance comes along. Simply send us the invoice and we'll arrange settlement and release the funds.

FAQ

Trailer Finance Hobart — Frequently Asked Questions

What are current trailer finance rates in Australia?

Trailer finance rates in Australia currently range from around 7.20% to 14% per annum. New trailers for established operators with clean credit attract rates from around 7.20%. Used trailers, new ABNs and specialist configurations carry higher rates. We compare 80+ lenders to secure the most competitive rate available for your trailer type and credit profile.

What types of trailers can you finance?

We finance semi-trailers, curtainsiders, drop deck trailers, skeletal trailers, dog trailers, float trailers, tipper trailers, grain trailers, livestock trailers and more. New and used, nationally.

Can I finance a trailer with a new ABN?

Yes. Some lenders accept 1-day ABN applications for trailer finance, subject to the asset type and applicant credit profile. Speak to us about what's available for your situation.

Is low doc available for trailer finance?

Yes. Low doc trailer finance is available up to $500k — typically requiring only your ABN, driver's licence and bank statements. No BAS or tax returns needed.

Can I bundle trailer finance with a prime mover?

Yes. We can arrange combined finance packages covering both a prime mover and trailer(s) with a single application, often with better overall terms than financing them separately.

Can I finance a trailer from a private seller or auction?

Yes. We finance trailer purchases from registered dealers, private sellers and auction houses. For private sales, the lender may require additional verification such as proof of ownership and registration. We manage this process for you.

What loan terms are available for trailer finance?

Trailer finance terms typically range from 12 to 84 months (1 to 7 years), depending on the asset age, lender and your preference. Longer terms reduce monthly repayments — we'll help you find the right balance for your cash flow.

Do I need insurance to finance a trailer?

Yes. Most lenders require proof of comprehensive or third-party property insurance before settling a trailer loan. We recommend arranging this in advance so it doesn't delay your settlement — and if you need cover, we can arrange insurance for you as part of the process.

Do balloon or residual payments work on trailer finance?

Yes. A balloon or residual reduces your monthly repayments by deferring a lump sum to the end of the term. We structure it to align with the trailer's expected resale value and your replacement cycle.

Can I trade in an existing trailer as part of an upgrade?

Yes. Trade-in proceeds can be applied against the new facility to reduce the amount financed. If the timing doesn't align, we can often bridge the gap so your upgrade isn't held up waiting on the old trailer to sell.

Can I finance multiple trailers in one application?

Yes. We regularly arrange multi-trailer packages under a single application, either under one lender facility or split across lenders to get the best overall structure for your fleet.

What types of trailers can you finance?

We finance semi-trailers, B-doubles, road trains, curtainsiders, refrigerated trailers, flat tops, drop decks, tipper trailers, low loaders, livestock trailers, car carriers, tankers and more — new, used and older trailers.

Can I finance a trailer separately from a prime mover?

Yes. Trailers can be financed independently or as part of a truck-and-trailer package. We'll compare both options and recommend the most efficient structure.

What is the typical loan term for trailer finance?

Trailer finance terms typically run from 2 to 7 years. The right term depends on the trailer's expected useful life, your replacement cycle and monthly repayment budget.

Can I get trailer finance with no deposit?

Yes. No-deposit trailer finance is available for eligible ABN holders. Lender requirements vary — a strong trading history and clean credit typically help secure 100% finance.

Can I finance a used or older trailer?

Yes. Used trailer finance is widely available. Age limits vary — most lenders finance trailers up to 10–15 years old, with specialist lenders extending to older assets for the right applicant.

Can I finance a trailer from a private seller?

Yes. We arrange finance for trailers from private sellers anywhere in Australia. We handle the settlement and title transfer documentation.

What finance structure is best for a trailer?

Chattel mortgage is most common — you own the trailer from day one and can claim the GST and depreciation. Finance lease suits operators who prefer fully deductible repayments. We'll recommend based on your tax position.

Can I refinance an existing trailer loan?

Yes. If you're paying a high rate, refinancing may reduce your repayments or free up cash. We compare refinance options across our 80+ lender panel.

How long does trailer finance take to settle?

Most applications receive a decision within 24–48 hours. Settlement typically completes within 2–5 business days, depending on documentation and whether an inspection is required.
