*TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Renault Finance Deferred Payments for Existing Customers

Customers with an existing Renault Finance loan with a balance of less than $250,000 that have been impacted by Cyclone Gabrielle may be eligible for:

  •  Three months of reduced principal and interest payments. Your loan term will be extended by three months so that you can catch-up on the payments at the end of your loan
  • Three months of interest only payments. Your loan term will be extended by three months so that you can catch-up on the principal payments at the end of your loan.
  •  Relief to fit your specific circumstances for a limited period of time.

You will not be charged a variation fee for these changes. A variation letter will be sent to you setting out the agreed changes to your loan.

Things to remember:
1. For all varied loans, interest will continue to apply during this period and will form part of the final loan amount to be repaid. This means there will be an increase in your payments after this period.
2. If you miss a scheduled loan payment (either before or after any variation to your loan agreement), this will still constitute a default under your loan agreement. If you expect to miss a payment, please contact us so that we can assist you.
