Why aren't all Bentley dealers listed as preferred dealers?

Not every Bentley Dealership chooses to use Bentley Motors Finance as their primary financier - some dealerships use banks, credit unions or other financiers.

From time to time Bentley Motors Finance run special promotions or programs at these times Bentley Motors Finance and all Bentley dealerships work together to deliver these to you.

What are your interest rates?

Bentley Motors Finance don't apply a generic interest rate for every type of buyer. We tailor our interest rate to meet your requirements according to the age and type of vehicle you wish to finance, the term of the finance over which you borrow, your credit history as well as other factors. This means that your finance package can be tailored specifically to your requirements.

Are your interest rates fixed or variable?

Our interest rates are fixed for the entire length of your contract term, meaning that you will always know what your financial commitments are to help you with budgeting purposes and protect you from any market increases.

Do you have any hidden fees?

We require an upfront establishment fee to set up your finance contract but we do not charge any ongoing  or account keeping fees. Other charges only apply where you operate your account outside the initially agreed terms and these are all disclosed in the Terms and Conditions booklet which is available at your local Bentley Motors Finance dealership.

What is the difference between a residual and a balloon?

A balloon payment is the lump sum payment which is due at the end of the loan contract should a customer choose to include a balloon in their finance option.

A residual value is the estimated value of the asset at the end of the lease contract should a customer choose to include a residual in their finance option. The residual is due at the end of the contract. A residual value attracts a charge of GST.

Both residuals and balloon payments help to lower your monthly loan repayments throughout the term and are due as a lump sum payment at the end of the contract. Some of the options at the end of the term include:

  • Refinance the balloon or residual at the end of the term
  • Sell or trade in your vehicle and use the subsequent funds to make the final payment and finance a new vehicle.

Some customers choose to refinance the balloon or residual at the end of the term if they are maintaining ownership of their asset and keeping it longer than they expected.  As always, you should consult your accountant for more specific information.
