Frequently asked questions
Need help with something? Here are our most frequently asked questions.
How does campervan or caravan finance work?
At Handy Finance, we offer secured caravan or camper loans of up to $100,000. Secured loans require collateral, and in this case, the caravan you want to purchase will act as collateral. Rather than releasing the loan funds directly to you, we often pay the loan amount directly to the private seller or dealer, who then releases your chosen caravan to you. The caravan acts as security as you pay back the loan. The interest rate for the loan is still fixed, and you have the option to choose between one and seven years to pay back the caravan loan.
What are the benefits of a camper or caravan loan?
Choosing a loan from Handy Finance for your camper or caravan can spread the cost over time, making it easier to manage financially.
- It’s a popular way to own a caravan without putting a strain on your savings, leaving you free to use your money for other things.
- Our loans can offer flexibility in financial planning, so you can enjoy your new caravan or camper without the worry of a big upfront payment.
- Securing a caravan loan could expand your purchasing power, this may allow you to explore newer or safer caravan models that might have been unaffordable upfront.
- Taking out a caravan loan may also help you to establish a positive credit history. A caravan loan can be a great way to indicate to future lenders that you are responsible with money and can be trusted to make repayments on time. A good credit history can also help you secure a better interest rate for future loans.
What can I use my caravan loan for?

We don’t charge an early repayment fee either – so if circumstances change, you can pay off your loan early without worrying about any extra costs.

What do I need to be eligible for caravan finance?

Do I need to provide security for a caravan loan?
Yes, for a Handy Finance caravan loan, the caravan or camper trailer itself usually acts as security. This means secured caravan loans typically have lower interest rates compared to unsecured loans. By tying the loan to the asset, you can benefit from saving on interest, which may lead to a lower total cost over the life of the loan.
Can I get a loan for a second-hand caravan?
Handy Finance offers loans for both new and used caravans. There’s no age limit on the caravan you choose, giving you the flexibility to select the perfect one for your needs and budget.

Will I be charged a fee for making extra payments?
At Handy Finance, you won’t face any fees for making extra payments on your caravan loan. This is a popular strategy to reduce your loan balance faster, which can cut down on the total amount of interest you pay. Plus, it means you could finish paying off your loan earlier than planned.
Can I refinance my existing caravan or camper trailer loan?
Yes, Handy Finance offers caravan loan refinancing options. This can be a smart choice if your financial situation changes and you need a loan that better fits your new circumstances.
How quickly do caravans depreciate?
The rate which caravans lose their value can vary. Brand, model, how well you maintain it, and usage may all play a part. New caravans might lose value quickly at first, but this slows down as they get older. Keeping it in good shape can help it keep its value.
Where can I buy my caravan from?
There are several places you can buy a caravan. Dealerships are a popular choice because they usually offer warranties and reliable service. Another option is buying from private sellers, who may offer more flexible pricing, though without the same level of assurance you’d get from a dealership. You can also explore a wide range of caravans through online platforms, where you can compare various makes and models. Handy Finance accommodates caravan purchases from most sellers, giving you the freedom to choose the best option that aligns with your requirements and preferences. We aim to make your caravan finance experience as convenient and personalised as possible, supporting your purchase choice, whether it’s from a dealership, a private seller, or online.
What is a comparison rate?
A comparison rate can be really useful when you’re looking at caravan loans. It takes the advertised interest rate, plus most compulsory fees and charges (such as upfront establishment fees and ongoing monthly or annual fees), and expresses them together as a single percentage based on a standard loan amount and term. This can give you a clearer picture of the total cost of the loan. At Handy Finance we don’t have any ongoing monthly account fees so you won’t need to worry about these in your comparison rate. It’s a popular way to compare different Handy Finance loans and find the one that’s best for you.
How long can you finance a caravan for?
Our caravan finance terms are flexible, ranging from 1 to 7 years. This can let you set a repayment plan that fits your budget and financial plans. You have the option of repaying your loan in monthly, fortnightly or weekly instalments.
