Common questions

Do you do car finance in Tauranga?

Yes. Fair Finance is New Zealand-wide and fully online, so Tauranga drivers get the same fair comparison as anyone else, without driving anywhere. One application, one soft credit check, matched to the lender most likely to give you a fair rate.

Do I have to go into a dealership in Tauranga?

No. You can do the whole thing from your phone. Once you're pre-approved you're free to buy from any dealer or private seller you like, and you're not tied to whatever finance that dealer pushes.

Will it affect my credit score?

No. We run one soft credit check across our panel to give you an indication. It doesn't show to other lenders and doesn't affect your score. A hard check only happens later if you choose to proceed with a lender.

What if I have bad credit or a low deposit?

Our panel includes lenders who work with imperfect credit and low or no deposit. We can't guarantee approval, but we'll match you to the ones most likely to give you a fair go. See our bad credit and no deposit guides for the detail.

See your repayments, then get a fair rate.
