Tips to Pay Off Your Auto Loan Faster
- Make bi-weekly payments - Instead of monthly payments, pay half your monthly amount every two weeks. You'll make 26 half-payments, which equals 13 full payments per year instead of 12.
- Round up payments - Round your payment up to the nearest $50 or $100. The small extra amount adds up over time.
- Apply windfalls - Use tax refunds, bonuses, or other unexpected income to make one-time payments toward principal.
- Refinance if possible - If interest rates have dropped or your credit score has improved, consider refinancing to a lower rate.
- Avoid skipping payments - Even if your lender offers to let you skip a payment (especially around holidays), avoid doing so as it extends your loan term.
