Frequently Asked Questions About Truck Finance
There are several common structures for truck finance:
Chattel Mortgage – You own the truck from day one; the lender holds a mortgage over it.
Hire Purchase (HP) – You hire the truck and gain ownership at the end of the term once all payments are made.
Finance Lease – You lease the truck for an agreed term; you may have the option to purchase or refinance at lease-end.
Operating Lease – Similar to a rental, with no purchase option – ideal if you prefer off-balance-sheet treatment.
Each option has different tax and cash-flow impacts. Your choice will depend on whether you’re a sole trader or company, your ABN status, and your balance-sheet or cash-flow priorities.
Rates vary with:
Loan type (chattel mortgage vs. lease)
Term length (typically 1–7 years)
Borrower profile (credit history, ABN age, financials)
Vehicle age/value
As a ballpark, fixed rates often start around 5–7% p.a. for new trucks; used-vehicle rates can be 7–10% p.a. or higher. Your exact rate will depend on your specific circumstances and the product you choose.
Yes. Having a current ABN (often held for at least 6 months) lets you apply as a business borrower. You’ll need to provide:
Business financials (tax returns, BAS statements)
Proof of ABN registration
Driver’s licence and identification
AABN age and credit history
This typically gives access to better commercial rates and structures than personal-name applications.
Yes—most major banks (ANZ, NAB, Westpac, CBA) and specialist non-bank financiers provide commercial vehicle finance, including trucks. Product names vary (e.g. “ANZ Equipment Finance”). Specialist providers often have more flexible terms for older vehicles or unusual models.
Truck finance is a form of asset finance. Machinery loans follow similar rate structures:
New assets: typically 5–8% p.a.
Used assets: typically 7–12% p.a.
Rates depend on asset type, age, and your credit profile. Always compare commercial asset-finance products as some lenders specialise in plant & equipment.
Most national lenders will finance from around $10,000 up to $1 million+, depending on:
The truck’s valuation
Your deposit (usually 10–20%)
Your business turnover and servicing capacity
If you need a larger fleet or heavy-duty prime mover, specialist heavy-equipment financiers can structure multi-million-dollar facilities.
Vehicle-age caps vary by lender and product:
Standard lenders often cap at 10 years old at finance commencement.
Specialist lenders may go up to 15 years (or beyond, for well-maintained, low-hour trucks).
For older trucks you may pay a higher rate or need a larger deposit.
Tip: Always compare both banks and specialist asset-finance brokers. Look beyond headline rates—consider fees, flexibility, residual values and end-of-term options to find the best overall deal for your business.
