Vehicle Loan vs. Personal Loan: Which Is Cheaper for Buying a Bike?

Vizzve Admin

So, you’ve set your eyes on that dream bike.
Now the big question is:
Should you go for a vehicle loan or a personal loan?

Let’s compare both side-by-side and help you choose the most cost-effective and flexible option — powered by insights from Vizzve Finance.

🚘 What’s a Vehicle Loan?

A vehicle loan is a secured loan given specifically for buying a vehicle — in this case, a two-wheeler. The bike itself acts as collateral until you repay fully.

💰 What’s a Personal Loan?

A personal loan is unsecured, meaning no collateral is required. You can use the money for anything, including buying a bike, with complete flexibility.

 So, Which Is Cheaper?

✅ Vehicle Loan:

Lower interest rates

Ideal if you want structured dealership financing

But limited to the bike only and bike is not fully yours until repayment

✅ Personal Loan:

Slightly higher rates

More freedom: Cover registration, insurance, accessories

Faster approval via Vizzve with zero collateral

For bikes under ₹1.5L, a personal loan from Vizzve is often the smarter choice – especially if you need cash fast and don't want dealer delays.

❓FAQs
