Auto Loan FAQs

Our advertised rates are subject to change at any time and depend on factors that include the applicant’s credit, the amount financed, loan term and vehicle characteristics. However, we offer competitive rates and flexible terms. Your actual Annual Percentage Rate (APR) will be based on your specific situation. Check out our auto loan options.

Do I need to be a Navy Federal member to apply for an auto loan?

If you’re not a member, you can apply for an auto loan, but you’ll need to become a member in order to complete your loan. Learn more about joining Navy Federal. 

Can I get approved for an auto loan before I pick out my car?

Yes. That's called a preapproval, and it allows you to know exactly how much car you're preapproved for before you shop. Remember—while you negotiate the best price with a dealer, don’t reveal to them the maximum amount of financing you're preapproved for.

How long is my preapproval auto loan check good for?

Your auto loan preapproval is good for 90 calendar days from the date of the check.

How do I apply for an auto loan?

After signing in to your account via the mobile app5 or online banking, you can apply for your auto loan in just a few minutes. There's no fee to apply, and most decisions are instant. In cases where applications require more attention, we'll send you an email and/or a text.

If approved for an auto loan, we’ll mail you a check or you could pick it up at your nearest branch. Once you pay the seller, ensure the title is received by Navy Federal within 90 days of purchase. You can also apply over the phone at 1-888-842-6328 or at a branch.

  • Current housing, employment and income information
  • Any vehicle trade-in information (title or loan information, registration, etc.)
  • Amount expected to finance (including vehicle purchase price, taxes, tags, title and warranty, minus any down payment)
  • Length (term) of the desired loan

And, if you’ve already picked out the vehicle you wish to buy, you’ll also need:

  • the 17-character vehicle identification number (VIN)

For refinance loans, you'll need to give us specific vehicle information such as the VIN, exact mileage, lender contact information and payoff amount.

Once my loan is approved, how do I get my check?

You can receive your check the following ways:

  • By mail sent to the address you provided (there may be a fee depending on delivery type)
  • By picking it up at a branch

Note: If the co-applicant's address is different from the primary applicant's address, the loan check and promissory note—or loan contract—are sent to the co-applicant first.
