Introduction

Financing a car is a practical way to spread the cost of your purchase over time. However, it's also worth considering one important question:

What would happen if you suddenly couldn't make your loan repayments?

Unexpected events such as illness, injury, redundancy, or even the loss of a loved one can happen without warning. That's why many buyers choose to add a Payment Waiver when taking out their car loan, giving them extra financial protection and greater peace of mind.

What Is a Payment Waiver?

A Payment Waiver is an optional protection that can be added to your car loan.

If you're affected by certain covered life events and your claim is approved, your loan repayments may be waived according to the terms of your policy. Instead of worrying about keeping up with repayments during a difficult time, you can focus on what matters most.

Why Do Many Buyers Choose Payment Waiver?

• Protect Your Financial Security
• Life doesn't always go as planned. A Payment Waiver can help reduce financial pressure if you're unable to work due to an unexpected event.
• Peace of Mind for You and Your Family
• Knowing that your loan may be protected during difficult times allows you to purchase your vehicle with greater confidence.
• Protection Beyond Vehicle Insurance
• While vehicle insurance protects your car, it doesn't usually cover your loan repayments.
• A Payment Waiver is designed to help protect your finance agreement if certain covered life events occur.

What Can Payment Waiver Help Cover?

Depending on the level of cover selected, Payment Waiver may provide protection for situations such as:

•  Death
• Terminal illness
• Disablement caused by illness or injury
• Redundancy (for eligible employees)
• Bankruptcy (for eligible self-employed borrowers)
• Insurance shortfall if your vehicle is written off

 The available benefits depend on the level of cover you choose and the terms of your policy.

Is Payment Waiver Worth It?

There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer. 

However, many buyers choose Payment Waiver because it provides an extra layer of protection against unexpected life events that could otherwise make loan repayments difficult. 

If you rely on your regular income, have family responsibilities, or simply want additional peace of mind while financing your next vehicle, Payment Waiver may be worth considering.
