Frequently Asked Questions

Consumer Loan: An early termination fee is incurred in the event that your loan is finalised at any point prior to maturity. This fee is not payable if the loan is paid out in the last two months of your loan term.

12-60 Month Loan Term – The fee is $850.00 if paid out within the first 12 months of signing the loan contract which then reduces evenly over the term of the loan each month down to a minimum fee of $200.00

60+ Month Loan Term – The fee is $850.00 if paid out within the first 24 month of signing the loan contract which then reduces evenly over the term of the loan each month down to a minimum fee of $200.00

Commercial Loan: An early termination fee is not payable however as interest is predetermined and added at the beginning of your loan term, a portion of the interest is payable. If the loan is terminated prior to maturity an interest rebate is applied which means a portion of the interest is discounted at a discount margin determined by Volkswagen Financial Services Australia.

Can I obtain a pre-approval for finance?

Can I take over someone else's Volkswagen Financial Services Australia finance contract on a vehicle?

Unfortunately we do not offer a transfer of finance and are not able to take over a loan on a vehicle that is financed with us or any other financier. When purchasing a vehicle in a private sale, you must ensure the loan on the vehicle is paid out in its entirety before the vehicle can be financed with another financier under a personal loan.

Can I purchase a vehicle from someone else that is encumbered by Volkswagen Financial Services Australia?

Volkswagen Financial Services Australia will hold interest on a vehicle financed with us, until the loan contract has been paid out in full and the final payment has cleared. You will need to negotiate with the owner in order to ensure that the finance is paid out before the vehicle can be transferred to your name. Volkswagen Financial Services Australia will retain interest in the vehicle for 7 days after the finance is finalised.
