Your Guide to Getting a Car Loan (Hire-Purchase) in Malaysia
For most Malaysians, buying a car is the second-biggest purchase after a home. Understanding how a "pinjaman kereta" (car loan) works is essential. In Malaysia, most car loans are technically "Hire-Purchase" agreements.
What is a Hire-Purchase (HP) Agreement?
A Hire-Purchase agreement is different from a standard loan.
- You (the "hirer") pay a down payment, which is typically 10% of the car's price.
- The bank (the "owner") pays the remaining 90% to the car dealer.
- The bank legally owns the car, and you hire (rent) it from them by making monthly payments.
- Once you make the final payment, ownership of the car is officially transferred to you.
Key Terms to Know:
- Down Payment: The 10% (or more) you must pay upfront.
- Margin of Finance: The 90% (or less) that the bank will finance.
- Flat Interest Rate: Car loans in Malaysia use a "flat" interest rate. This means the interest is calculated on the original loan amount (the 90%) and stays the same for the entire tenure. This is different from the "reducing balance" rate used for home loans.
- Tenure: The loan period, typically from 5 to 9 years. A 9-year loan is very common, but remember: a longer tenure means you pay much more in total interest.
Is Financing a New Car vs. a Used Car
- New Car: It's easier to get 90% financing and a longer tenure (up to 9 years) with a lower interest rate. .
- Used (Second-Hand) Car: Financing is often lower (e.g., 80-85%) with a shorter tenure and a slightly higher interest rate, as the car is a depreciating asset and seen as higher risk
What Documents Do I Need?
Conventional Loan
- NRIC (MyKad) and a valid Malaysian Driving License.
What Documents Do I Need?
- The relationship is "Buyer and Seller" or "Partners." The bank earns a "profit" from a trade or lease.
Proof of Income (Self-Employed)

Booking Form
