ATV financing works much like financing a car — you could borrow money directly from banks, credit unions and other lenders, or you could arrange financing through a powersports dealer.
Unlike an auto loan, lenders typically view ATVs, UTVs and other types of powersports vehicles as luxury items, not a necessity like a car. This means that qualifying for an ATV loan may be more difficult than qualifying for an auto loan. The good news, however, is that because an ATV or UTV is usually less expensive than a car, you have more choices for UTV financing and other types of powersports loans. We’ll break down your options in a later section.
To qualify for a powersport or ATV financing, you’ll need to fill out a form and allow a lender to pull your credit. While the minimum credit score will vary by lender, the higher your score, the better the interest rate you’ll receive. Your credit can be an especially important factor in powersports loans.
If you’re not sure what your credit score is, you can check your credit score for free with LendingTree. If your credit isn’t where you want it to be, don’t worry. There are lenders that offer powersports loans for those with bad credit.
Whether you know the exact powersports vehicle you want to purchase or you’re just shopping around, getting preapproved may make the shopping and purchasing process easier and quicker. Fill out a form on LendingTree to get possible loan amounts, rates and terms from up to five lenders, depending on your creditworthiness.
To get preapproved, you’ll need the following items:
A powersports loan from a bank
Banks tend to have great name recognition, 24/7 customer service and versatile mobile apps. However, some banks may not offer powersports or ATV loans, and those that do may not have the best available rates.
ATV financing through a credit union
Credit unions tend to offer lower loan rates than banks. Some have minimal requirements for membership, such as Consumers Credit Union, which only requires a one-time donation of $5.
Borrowing from an online lender
Online lenders are typically transparent about their rates and can be a great source of information. Be sure you look specifically at powersport or ATV loans rather than personal loans, which tend to have higher rates.
ATV, Jet Ski and snowmobile loans from the manufacturer
Powersports manufacturers, such as Honda, Polaris and Yamaha, may offer financing for the powersports vehicle you want. Depending on the model and when you’re looking to buy, the manufacturer may also offer a rebate as a financing incentive. Generally, you’ll need good-to-excellent credit to qualify for rebates or low-APR financing.
Powersport financing through the dealership
Most dealers will help you find financing with a lender such as a bank, credit union or manufacturer. But they typically are not themselves lenders — dealers that provide their own loans are called “buy-here, pay-here” dealers, and they typically charge some of the highest APRs. If one of the traditional loans we’ve already mentioned isn’t a good fit for you, consider using a credit card, ideally paired with a hefty down payment, or paying cash.
