Work out your car loan

Fixed-rate car loan

The interest rate on your car loan never changes. That means you are sure to repay the same amount every month for the full term of your car loan.
When you take out your car loan, you also get a breakdown of the monthly repayments for the full term of your loan. That way, you know how much you've already paid off at any time.

Why purchase an eco-friendly car?

Do you want to do your bit for a more liveable world, while still being able to get around freely? Then electric, plug-in hybrid or CNG cars are the answer. Although more environmentally friendly vehicles offer lots of benefits, they can often be expensive.

Make your ecological dream come true and finance your purchase with an ecological or car loan. It lets you spread the cost over time. That way, the overall cost is more manageable and you can live up to your resolutions.

The term that's right for you depends on how much you want to borrow and amount you can spare every month. The longer the term, the lower the monthly repayment and the easier it will be for you to repay the loan. If you borrow for a shorter term, you have to repay more each month, but the loan will be paid off faster and as a consequence, you pay less interest. At KBC Brussels, you can choose the term yourself.
There are a few legal constraints that apply to the term of a loan These are automatically built into the loan calculator.

Vehicles quickly lose value, so KBC Brussels recommends keeping the term of your loan as short as possible. New drivers often haven't taken out any other loans, but are statistically more likely to incur claims or even a write-off. If that happens, bear in mind that you'll no longer have a car, but the loan repayments will continue. You can limit that risk with comprehensive insurance offered by KBC Brussels.

If you prove your actual professional costs, you can claim the interest on your car loan against your tax.

Car loan payment

You’re paid your car loan

  • When the car is delivered
  • After KBC Brussels receives the relevant signed documents and proof of investment (invoice or order form)
  • To the account from which your monthly repayments will also be made

The repayment of your car loan starts one month after the loan amount is paid to you. All subsequent repayments are made on the same day of the month as the initial repayment.

 

Example of repayment times

When to repay your car loan
