Will financing or
leasing affect
your auto insurance?
Consider the following points when it comes to financing, leasing, and insurance to understand if your insurance cost will increase if you lease a car
How auto insurance calculated
Are you wondering whether leasing a car will increase your insurance rates? The answer is no. Your premiums are determined by factors such as your location, vehicle, and driving habits, not by your method of payment. Whether you choose to finance or lease, your insurance costs will remain the same. However, it's important to inform your insurance provider that you're leasing a vehicle.
Who has an interest in the vehicle?
When you finance or lease a vehicle, the financier or leasing company holds an interest in that vehicle, which must be reflected on your insurance policy. This is to ensure that the lender's investment is protected. Therefore, it's important to include the name of the leasing company or financier on your insurance policy, regardless of whether you are financing or leasing.
What happens if I have an accident?
In the event of an accident or if the car is written off, the finance or leasing company is paid off first. If the value of the car exceeds the amount owed, you will receive a payment. On the other hand, if you owe more than the car's value, gap insurance can cover the difference. For more information, it is recommended to contact your insurance provider.
Where can I find more information?
Please contact your insurance agent and ask them to explain what your policy covers, along with the fine print.

FAQs
What should I bring to my finance appointment?
All buyers should bring a valid government-issued driver's license, current pay stub and void cheque. Depending on the specifics of your purchase, you may be required to bring additional information. For a complete list of what you'll need to buy or trade in a vehicle with Go Auto, call us ahead of time and speak with a sales consultant.
Will I be approved?
Getting approved for a car loan depends on these factors: the cost, age, and mileage of the new or pre-used vehicle, your employment history, residence, and income, your credit history, which includes information in your credit file, and your down payment, which can be a combination of cash and trade equity. Providing a larger down payment can increase your chances of approval.
How are my car payments calculated?
Three things affect your monthly payment. The first is the amount financed, the term or length of the loan contract, and the annual percentage rate (APR) we offer. At [[dealerName,]] we offer competitive rates from Canada's largest lenders to fit nearly every budget and credit profile.
How do I budget for my car payments?
Most financial lenders say a borrower shouldn't spend no more than 15% of their gross monthly income on a car payment. For example, if you make $2,000 a month you should spend no more than $300 on your car payment.
What is my credit score?
Your credit score is an important number that financial institutions use to assess the risk of lending you money for a car, home, credit card, or other financial products. Credit scores typically range from 350 to 850 and reflect your likelihood of paying your bills on time. Generally, the higher your credit score, the greater your chances of being approved for a car loan. Factors that influence your credit score include your payment history and the number of inquiries made on your credit report, among others. Credit bureaus generate your credit score based on information contained in your credit report.
How is my credit score calculated?
Typically ranging from 350 to 850, a credit score is an important factor considered by lenders. Higher score increases your chances of approval. Credit scoring systems analyze various factors when calculating your score, such as how promptly you make payments (including any late payments), the type and amount of debt you have, the number and age of credit inquiries, and any public records like liens or judgments.
Should I finance or lease?
This decision will depend on your lifestyle, future plans, and budget. If you plan on moving away or traveling in the next few years, leasing might be the right direction. Leasing works for people who want a car under warranty and want the latest features. If you want to own a car for the long term and build equity, then buying is a better option. Our Finance team can go through all the pros and cons and help you with this decision.
Can I qualify for financing on my first vehicle?
Of course. Many Kentwood Ford customers qualify for financing on their first vehicle purchase.
