What is Driva?
Driva’s mission is to help you navigate existing finance lenders in the market.
There’s already so many finance lenders out there that we thought adding another name to the list wouldn’t help. It also means we don’t have any incentive to steer you down the wrong path.
We take the hard work out of the online car loan application process from start to finish providing a seamless experience. We're 100% transparent, so there are no hidden surprises and provide you with personalised rates based on your profile. This means no last minute rate changes just before you sign the contract.
How do Canberra car loans work?
Canberra drivers have a wealth of vehicle loans available to them. Driva works with over 30 lenders to bring you competitive and transparent rates, so you can be confident you’re getting the best deal possible. Whether you’re looking to finance a caravan, a motorbike or anything else with wheels, chances are Driva can help!
What are the main features of car loans in Canberra?
Some features of car loans in Canberra offered by Driva include:
- Low fixed-rate car loans
- Friendly and knowledgeable team
- Flexible loan term lengths and repayment terms
- Get a personalised rate in less than two minutes
- Access to a wide range of lenders across Canberra and Australia
How is Driva different from traditional car finance?
Traditional car finance is notoriously hard to navigate, and many rates and fees are generally not shared with the customer. Additionally, traditional car finance companies don’t use personalised rates, so the starting rate you’re given at the start of the process is highly likely to change.
Driva, on the other hand, takes the hard work out of the car finance application process from the very beginning. By providing you with personalised rates based on your unique profile, you can be confident that there will be no last minute rate changes along the way. Also, we pride ourselves on being 100% transparent, and will share all the interest rates and fees from each lender that you’re eligible for, so ultimately you can make the final call on which loan you want to go with.
Am I still able to get a loan if I have a bad credit rating?
This will depend on which lender you’re looking at. Every lender has different lending criteria, and, amongst other factors, will consider the car you’re interested in, your employment status and your credit rating before deciding whether they have a car finance option available to you. For most lenders, the higher your credit score, the lower interest rates they can offer you.
Even if you have a bad credit rating, there may be car loan options available to you - get a personalised rate in less than two minutes.
You can access your credit history for free through our friends at Equifax.
Which lender should I choose?
Driva works with over 30 lenders to provide you as many options as possible when deciding which loan to go with. From your personalised Driva Dashboard you’ll be able to see which loans you’re likely to be eligible for in Canberra.
If you have any questions, please get in contact with our friendly and knowledgeable team. You can email us at contact@driva.com.au or give us a call on 1300 755 494.
What insurance do I need to get?
By law, you’re required to have compulsory third party insurance to register a car anywhere in Australia. This insurance will provide compensation for any injuries that may occur to you or another person in a road accident, but not for any damage to your vehicle or property, nor the other person’s vehicle or property.
In addition to compulsory third party insurance, every car loan lender will require you to secure comprehensive car insurance for your new vehicle before the loan can settle. This covers you for many different insured events, like car accidents, theft and many weather related incidents. In the event of a car accident, it also covers both your car and property and the other person’s car and property.
Driva has partnered with CGU Insurance to offer comprehensive vehicle insurance to our customers. Get a quote online.
What documents do I need to apply for finance?
In order to access personalised rates on your Driva Dashboard, you don’t need to provide us with any documents at all.
When it comes to submitting a loan application for assessment, you will normally only need access to your drivers license and your two most recent payslips. The Driva platform can assist you in retrieving your bank statements digitally. In some circumstances we might require a few more documents, but we’ll let you know if and why we need them.
Approved applicants will then just need to provide their vehicle sales invoice and proof of comprehensive insurance policy. After that, you’ll be good to drive away!
Can I get finance for a second hand car?
Yes - whether you’re looking at a brand new car, or a second hand 4WD for weekend trips to the Cotter, Driva can offer you competitive rates from our panel of over 30 lenders.
Can Driva help me finance a motorbike?
Yes - Driva can help you finance a second hand motorbike or a new car or caravan.

You can email us at contact@driva.com.au or give us a call on 1300 755 494. Or, if you’re ready to get started, you can apply online and get your personalised rates in just minutes.
What is a balloon payment?
A balloon payment car loan is a form of vehicle financing that offers lower monthly repayments across the loan period, followed by a large final lump-sum repayment at the end. It might be a good option for some individuals, but it can also be dangerous if you don't plan ahead and budget for the final payment!
