- Choose your new car: Our dealership partner will review your finance terms with you and show you a selection of vehicles that you qualify for. You can then pick the car that best suits your needs and that's it! No Stress!
- Drive away: Thanks to your pre-approval there is no fear of rejection. You'll only be presented with vehicle options that you qualify for. Typically Canada Drives customers can be driving away in their new car within 48 hours of their online application, sometimes as soon as the next day!
Why should I get a pre-approved car loan?
There are many benefits of getting pre-approved for a car loan before you start shopping for a new or used car:
1. Clear Budget & Better Planning
-
You’ll know your exact loan amount, interest rate, and estimated monthly payment.
-
This helps you shop with confidence, avoiding cars that don’t fit your budget.
2. Stronger Negotiating Power
-
Dealers see pre-approved buyers as serious and ready to purchase.
-
You can negotiate based on the actual price of the car instead of getting caught in “monthly payment” sales tactics.
3. Faster, Stress-Free Buying
-
Since your financing is already lined up, the dealership process is much quicker.
-
You spend less time waiting for credit approvals and more time focusing on the right car.
4. Confidence & Peace of Mind
-
You know your financing is secure before you even step on the lot.
-
That peace of mind makes car shopping far less stressful.
