How to Get the Best Interest Rate in 2025

1. Boost Your Credit Score
Even small improvements can help:
- Pay down credit card balances below 30% utilization
- Correct any errors on your credit reports
- Avoid new credit applications 3-6 months before auto financing
2. Consider Shorter Loan Terms
60-month loans now average 1-2% lower than 72-month terms. Our calculator can show payment differences.
