A secured car loan is one where your car is used as security against the loan.
This means if you were ever unable to make your loan repayments, the lender could sell your car to recover the money they loaned you
An unsecured car loan means your car isn’t taken as security which means there’s much more risk involved for the lender. So, if you were ever unable to make your loan repayments, it’s a lot harder for lenders to get their money back.
