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.
Vehicle Loan vs. Personal Loan – Quick Comparison
| Feature | Vehicle Loan | Personal Loan |
|---|---|---|
| Security | Secured (bike as collateral) | Unsecured |
| Interest Rate | 8%–12% (lower) | 10%–16% (slightly higher) |
| Loan Tenure | 1–5 years | 1–6 years |
| Approval Time | Slower (requires dealer process) | Faster (via apps like Vizzve) |
| Purpose | Only for buying bike | Any purpose (bike + gear + insurance) |
| Documents | ID + Address + Income + Quotation from dealer | ID + Address + Income |
| Ownership | Bike is hypothecated to lender | You own the bike 100% |
| Down Payment | Often required | Optional |
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.
