More on a car loan
The best term for you depends on how much you want to borrow and how much you can afford to pay back each month. The longer the term, the less you'll have to pay each month and the easier it will be to pay off the loan. The shorter the term of your loan, the more you'll have to pay each month, but you'll pay it off sooner and also end up paying less interest. At KBC Brussels, you choose what you prefer to do.
There are a few legal constraints that apply to the term of a loan (these are automatically built into the loan calculator).
| Amount borrowed (in euros) |
Maximum term (in months) |
|---|---|
| Up to 2,500 | 24 |
| Up to 3,700 | 30 |
| Up to 5,600 | 36 |
| Up to 7,500 | 42 |
| Up to 10,000 | 48 |
| Up to 15,000 | 60 |
| Up to 50,000 |

A new car quickly depreciates in value, so we recommend keeping the term of your loan as short as possible. As a novice driver, it's often the case that you haven't taken out any other loans, but you are more at risk statistically of damaging or writing off your vehicle in an accident. It's worth remembering that, while you've lost your car in this scenario, you will have to continue paying off your loan. You can, however, limit that risk by taking out comprehensive insurance at KBC Brussels.
When you declare your work-related expenses, you can claim the interest on your car loan against your tax.
Your car loan will be paid to you:
- When your car is delivered
- After KBC Brussels receives the relevant signed documents and proof of investment (order form or invoice)
- By crediting the account from which your monthly repayments will be made
You start paying off your car loan one month after it is paid to you. All subsequent payments are made on the same day of the month on which you made the initial repayment.
Example illustrating when repayment is to made
Suppose KBC Brussels makes your loan available to you on 25 March. You will then start repaying your loan on 25 April, with all subsequent repayments scheduled for the 25th of the month.
Account for repaying the loan
If you already have a current account at KBC Brussels, you can repay your loan from that account provided you're the sole or joint holder of the account.
The account for repaying the loan must be the same as the one into which the loan was paid.
If you don't have an account at KBC Brussels, you can also pay off your loan by direct debit from the account you hold at another financial institution.
