Car Leasing VS Buying
What is a car registration loan?
A car registration loan is a type of small personal loan designed to cover expenses related to your vehicle registration. It’s different from a car loan, which is normally used to purchase a new or used vehicle. Car registration loans are a way to get fast cash to pay for your rego.

Car rego loans with bad credit
Worried about bad credit holding you back? Don’t be! Swoosh offers bad credit loans for car rego payments. We look at your current financial situation when we assess your application, so past credit mistakes won’t hold you back.
After evaluating current bank statements, we determine whether you have the ability to repay the loan. This way we don’t solely rely on a credit check. If you’re able to pay off the loan now, you could still be eligible to borrow money against your car and get your rego sorted.
Flexible instalment payments
We align your repayment schedule with your payday so you never have to worry about missing a payment. You can pay:
- Weekly
- Fortnightly
- Monthly
