If you're in a situation where you need money fast, same day car loans can be lifesavers. These loans typically have fewer requirements than full car loans, but are for much smaller amounts and have higher rates. It's easy to apply for and get a same day car loan, but don't expect to finance a new car with one.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Proof of employment, usually pay stubs
  • Checking account
  1. Step 1

    Get your supporting documents together so you can quickly fill out applications. Most same day car loans don't require a credit check, but you do need proof of employment and a checking account.

  2. Step 2

    Find a creditor that gives out same day car loans. Most banks and credit unions will not offer these loans, so your best bet will be to look online and at dealerships.

  3. Step 3

    Apply for several same day car loans before you make a decision. Even though you're pressed for time, you still want to try and find the best rate on your loan.

  4. Step 4

    Do some quick calculations to work the loan payments into your budget. Since same day car loans tend to be for smaller amounts, the payment period is shorter and monthly payments may be high.

  5. Step 5

    Have the same day car loan deposited directly into your checking account so you can use it right away. Some online lenders will give you the option to have a check mailed to you with next day service.

  6. Step 6

    Set up an automatic payment schedule with your lender. Many same day loan companies give you a small break on the rate if you pay this way. This method is one way that same day lenders reduce the risk of offering loans without credit checks.

Tips & Warnings
  • These loans are generally for fairly small amounts, so you can really only finance a used car purchase with a same day car loan.
  • Your loan payments may be expensive, but luckily it only takes a few months to pay off most same day car loans.
  • Many lenders can give you same day approval for a full car loan, but it takes a few business days for the loan amount to be available.
  • Don't get a same day loan if you can't afford the interest payments. Some loans have rates that are twice as high as a normal car loan.
  • Most dealerships charge fees for same day car loans.
