An auto refinance calculator is an excellent tool that you can use to see if, and how, refinancing can save you money. It has an easy interface that allows users to input just a few basic figures, such as loan balances, interest rates, and loan terms. All the complicated calculations are handled in the background, and in just a split second you can have a fairly accurate comparison of your current and new prospective auto loan. There are many out there, but most of them will have ask for the following information. It's helpful to be somewhat knowledgeable about them.

An auto refinance calculator will often times ask for the "payoff amount." This can also be labeled as "principal," "loan balance," or even simply as "loan amount." The most important thing to understand is that you need to enter the amount given to you by your lender when you request a "payoff" quote. This is different from your loan balance, as it can include accrued unpaid interest, and estimated interest that will accrue from the date that you request the payoff quote to the date that your lender expects to receive full payment (usually 7-10 business days). This amount can also include extra fees, such as title transfer fees and prepayment penalties. So, just call your lender and ask them for a payoff quote. They will usually tell you something like, 'your payoff amount is x dollars and this quote is good until...' That way, you can shop around for a couple days knowing your refinance quotes are fairly accurate.

Next, you'll most likely have to enter into the auto refinance calculator, the new interest rate at which you will be refinancing. This figure varies from lender to lender. There's no way you can know exactly what this will be without a lending company doing a full check on your employment and credit. So, you'll have to do some educated guessing. Plus, since you are just window shopping you don't want to have a bunch of inquiries on your credit report because that will lower your credit scores. This is the last thing you want when you finally fill out an auto refinance application. So call each of the prospective auto refinancing companies, or visit their websites to get an average

Buying a used car or truck is simply a matter of necessity for many individuals and families. While in the past many used cars had the well deserved reputation of being clunkers, these days they are increasingly more reliable. Another positive for used car buyers is that the gap between used and new car prices is widening. An often unexplored avenue for someone seeking a used car is the car rental industry. Buying a used car from these companies is not much different from buying from an individual or car dealer. The same checks must be performed to ensure roadworthiness and reliability. There is however growing support for the idea of individuals buying their cars used from rental agencies. Advantages of Buying from a Rental Car Company The landscape is practically littered with car rental companies jockeying for market share. It is important to remember that the standards of each company may vary, and you should seek to buy only from reputable enterprises. Advantage s of buying your used car from a rental agency includes: They are usually better maintained than privately owned vehicles. There is usually a wide selection to choose from. The company usually keeps meticulous records regarding servicing, accidents etc. They are usually sold after two years of service to bring in new models. They usually come with what is left of the manufacturer's warranty. The Disadvantages of Buying a Used Rental Car The disadvantages are pretty much the same as those for buying from an individual or dealer. There is of course the added element of uncertainty since they are usually driven by so many different people. Disadvantages include: Accidents that cause minor damage may not be reported. There is no way of knowing how the car may have been handled by any of the various renters. Prices tend to be higher than they would be for the same model and year car at a dealer. Unlike used car dealers also, the car rental companies are rarely willing to haggle. What You Should Do Before Buying If you plan to buy a used car or truck from a rental company there are steps you must take to protect yourself. These include: Have your mechanic properly inspect the car on a lift. Perform a vehicle title search or ask for a history report. Take the car for a test drive to see how it handles. Even if you pay an independent mechanic to inspect the car and then decide not to buy it, you should not consider it a waste of money. This probably saved you repair bills and headaches in the long run. Keep in mind that damage may be repaired at the car rental company's own shop, and may not even be reported. A proficient mechanic should be able to spot even small telltale signs of repair. There are many buyers of used cars and trucks from rental companies that are happy with their purchases. Many people are initially hesitant to buy from rental companies, possibly because of witnessing deliberate abuse of rental cars. Be sure to buy from a well known car rental company and follow the advice provided above. This way you too could be happy if you decide to purchase from a car rental company.

Anyone who has had to rent a car would have had to decide whether or not to get car rental insurance. The decision however is normally not a major issue for one reason. Most types of car insurance already provide coverage for a rental vehicle. As well, some credit cards also carry car rental insurance as a benefit. This is especially true of top of the line platinum cards. If such a card is used to pay the rental fees, you may well be covered. Types of Car Rental Insurance Before buying rental car insurance, spend some time learning what type of coverage you will be getting. While the most common coverage is collision waiver, it is not the only type. As with any other types of car insurance, you need to read the fine print and ask questions before buying. This type of insurance removes the risk in the event of an accident to the car rental company instead of the renter. The cost of this type of policy can run up to $20 or so per day. Other types of rental car insurance are: Personal accident: While useful, this type of car rental insurance is also normally covered by your car insurance policy. This policy covers medical and ambulance costs in the event of an accident. Liability insurance: This is generally covered by regular car insurance so car owners may not need this. Personal effects: This policy is good when traveling with personal effects that may be stolen from a car. Most regular insurance doesn't carry this, so it may be worth purchasing from a car rental company. This should be purchased if you will be traveling with valuables such as laptops. What Should You Do? Before deciding to pay what can add up to a hefty sum for car rental insurance, check your current insurance or call your agent. By doing this, you will be able to determine what coverage you already have and if it also applies to a rental vehicle. For people who rent cars on a regular basis, it would be cheaper to protect yourself by increasing your regular car insurance coverage. Taking out insurance coverage every time a car is rented would add up over time. If your own insurance company doesn't cover a rental car, still look around before signing on the dotted line at a car rental company. If you do not own a car and therefore do not have car insurance, but plan on renting more than once for the year, consider getting non-owner liability insurance. This is ideal for frequent renters since the cost can range anywhere from $200 to $600 per year. In short, in most cases, paying for car rental insurance may be redundant if you are already covered by your own company. The safest thing to do as a car owner is to ask your car insurance company what you are covered for. In most instances you will find that you do not need additional coverage. Before you choose NOT to select car rental insurance when renting a car, it is important that you are completely covered from another insurance source. If not completely covered, you could end up in a financially devastating situation.
