Frequently Asked Questions

Auto Refinancing
Yeah, we know you have questions. You should! If you don’t find the information here, feel free to give us a call or send an email. We want to make sure you have all the information you want and need to make a good financial decision.

Why should I include an Extended Service Contract (ESC) in my refinance with RefiJet?

This coverage covers the costs associated with unexpected repairs. Even minor repairs, with today’s technology, can cost thousands of dollars. Coverage includes parts, labor, and sales tax. You can choose any ASE Certified mechanic to fix covered repairs. We offer top-quality ESCs at competitive pricing. The cost of the ESC is added to your loan, raising your payment slightly, but when your vehicle needs repair, you’ll be darn glad you have it!

What if there are co-borrowers on the loan?

If there are co-borrowers on the loan, then the title will show both borrowers. If you are adding someone as a co-borrower or if you are removing a co-borrower who will no longer be on the new refinance loan, the title needs to reflect the new ownership. RefiJet, will guide you through the entire process to make sure the new title accurately reflects the borrower(s) on the new refinance loan. This includes working with the state department of motor vehicles and both lenders to facilitate the process on your behalf.

How is the title handled during a refinance?

When you refinance, a new title needs to be issued. This means that the old lender will no longer be on the title. The new title will show the new lienholder. This is a process that is conducted through your state department of motor vehicles. When you refinance with RefiJet, we handle every aspect of getting a new title as part of your loan refinance. When the title is updated, it will go to the appropriate party, either you or the lienholder, depending on the state.

How does RefiJet get the vehicle title for refinancing?

If you live in a title-holding state, the borrower will have the official title document. You will need to send in the title to RefiJet to complete the refinance process. If you don’t have it, we will guide you through the process of getting a copy. Typically, to get a replacement title, you need to go to your department of motor vehicles or county tax office, depending on your state and county. Or, you might even be able to file online or send in a form to get the title in the mail. If the current lender has the title, we will handle the process of getting the title from the previous lender, who will release it directly to us as soon as that loan is paid off through the proceeds of the new refinance loan.

Why is it important?

The title is the document that provides proof of your ownership in the vehicle. Depending on your state rules, either you keep a copy of the title or the lienholder holds it until the loan is paid off. When refinancing with RefiJet, we will let you know if you are in a title-holding state and need to provide us with the title.

What is a vehicle title?

The vehicle title is the legal document that is the state’s record of who owns the vehicle. If you have an auto loan on that vehicle, both you and the lienholder are listed on the title. The lienholder is the lender who made the loan to you. When you pay off your loan, a new title is issued to you, showing you as the sole owner.

How Much Can You Refinance?

Your SUV’s value is a large factor in the amount you can refinance.  Lenders consider the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio when setting loan terms, such as APR and maximum Term.  When you work with RefiJet, we determine an accurate value of your SUV so the lender can evaluate the LTV.  The lower the ratio of the loan amount to your SUV’s, the lower the risk to the lender.  The lower the LTV, the better loan terms for you.

Multiple factors are involved in evaluating your SUV’s value.  We use a third-party guide to define the value of your SUV. The guide starts with the make, model, and year.  All you have to do is give us the VIN, which is a unique identifying number for your SUV.  Based on the VIN, the guide gives us details about your vehicle and is the first piece of information used to determine value.  Then, you get to tell us how much you use your SUV and what features it has, so we can get an accurate value.  Specifically, you will provide info on:

Mileage:

The lower the mileage the lower the lender’s risk and the higher the value.  However, as long as your SUV has less than 150,000 miles on it, it will likely qualify for refinancing.

Features: 

When we evaluate your SUV’s value using a third-party guide, the VIN helps define its standard features.  We also discuss the various manufacturer features your specific SUV may have.  No matter which manufacturer features you have, they can add value, so we want to know about them.  We will make sure the valuation guide reflects those features, which will increase the value above the standard base amount. We want to make sure we have an accurate description of your specific vehicle, so the value is accurate for the lender.

With all this information, the third-party guide defines your SUV’s “book” value, which is used to calculate the LTV.

Do You Have a Good Loan Payment History?

When you can demonstrate strong payment history on your current loan, new lenders tend to be more interested in offering you a new loan with better terms. Being up-to-date on your current loan and having on-time payments for at least the last 6 months puts you in a strong position for refinancing.

Do All SUVs Qualify for Refinancing?

SUVs that are less than 10 years old and have less than 150,000 miles typically will qualify for refinancing. Whether you off-road with it, cart the kids around, and/or go on long road trips, your SUV will qualify.

How much can you refinance?

Your truck’s value is a large factor in the amount you can refinance.  Lenders consider the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio when setting the loan terms they will offer you.  When you work with RefiJet, we determine an accurate value of your truck so the lender can evaluate the LTV ratio.  The lower the ratio of the loan amount to the truck’s value, the lower the lender’s risk.  Lower risk results in better loan terms for you.

Multiple factors are involved in evaluating your truck’s value.  We use a third-party guide to define the value. These guides start with the make, model, year, and mileage of your truck, based on the VIN.  The VIN is a unique identifying number that defines what type of truck it is.  Based on the VIN, the guide gives us details about your vehicle.  It is the first piece of information used to obtain a value from the guide.  Then, you get to tell us how much you use your trucks and what features it has, so we can make sure to get an accurate value.  Specifically, you will provide info on:

Mileage:

The lower the mileage, the longer the truck will typically last and the higher the value.  These factors affect the lender’s risk.  However, as long as your truck has less than 150,000 miles on it, it will likely qualify for refinancing.

Features: 

When we evaluate your car’s value using a third-party guide, we will review information based on the VIN regarding standard features.  Then we review the manufacturer feature options.  This is your chance to share all the great features on your specific truck.  We will make sure the valuation guide reflects those features.  That will increase the value above the standard base amount. We want to make sure we have an accurate description of your specific vehicle, so the value is accurate for the lender.

With all this information, the third-party guide defines your truck’s “book” value the lender will use.

It’s ok if you have been turned down for a loan or a refinance!

Even if you had a hard time getting a loan in the past, or you have been turned down when you recently tried to refinance, RefiJet may have options for you.  We work with many industry-leading lenders that may not be working with other refinance companies.  RefiJet can offer unique options competitors can’t because of the strength of our program and our customer service.  Even if you think you are a tough case, we can probably offer you some options.  If you think your credit situation has improved a lot since you originally got your loan, our options may be significantly better than your current loan.

Will I qualify for refinancing?

We review various aspects of your credit history, not just your credit score, to identify various options for which you qualify. Other factors include your debt, your income, and your loan payment history. For example, when you can demonstrate strong payment history on your current loan, new lenders tend to be more interested in offering you better terms on a new loan. If you are up-to-date on your current loan and have made on-time payments for at least the last 6 months, you are in a strong position to refinance your loan.

What are the benefits of GAP and ESC?

GAP and ESC are optional ancillary products that can be included in your refinance loan.  That means that the cost is spread out over the term of your new loan.  This typically makes them so affordable that you may still be able to lower your monthly payment!  Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) protects against you having to make a large, out of pocket payment if your truck gets totaled or stolen.  RefiJet offers GAP that covers up to 150% of the retail value of your truck.  It also pays up to $1000 towards your insurance deductible.  This means you won’t be responsible for the entire difference between the value of your truck and the amount your insurance company will pay.  An Extended Service Contract (ESC) offers protection against mechanical failure.  Coverage includes the engine, transmission and high-tech electrical features.  That means if something on your truck fails, you don’t have to worry about having a large, unexpected expense.  If you already have GAP or ESC on your current loan, you may be due a pro-rated refund when you cancel them.  That’s another way to get cash in your pocket while still protecting your truck and your finances!

Will My Truck Qualify for Refinancing?

If your love for your truck isn’t matched by your feelings for your current loan, refinancing could be a good option.  If your truck is for personal use (not commercial use), is less than 10 years old and has less than 150,000 miles on it, it will typically qualify for refinancing.

At RefiJet, we work with multiple, industry-leading lenders, so we can offer various options for which you qualify.

What are the terms of the loan you offer?

Loan terms vary depending on your credit situation, your vehicle, and other criteria. While we can’t tell you in advance what they could be, we can tell you that we work with multiple Lenders, so we have lots of options to evaluate for you. If you let us know what your priorities are, we will identify the best options for which you qualify. We can probably help you find terms that fit with what you want. If we can’t, we will tell you why.

Will applying affect my credit score?

When we are processing your application, we use a “soft pull.” We get your credit information, but it doesn’t affect your credit score, and it doesn’t appear as an inquiry on your bureau. If you approve us to submit the application to the Lender (after we have evaluated your application and discussed the proposed terms of the loan with you), the Lender will do a “hard pull.” If you are shopping around for a refinance loan, be careful because if there are too many “hard pulls,” it may affect your credit score. Not every refinance program does a “soft pull,” like RefiJet does. Many competitors also submit your application to multiple lenders, which can create multiple inquiries on your credit bureau.

Can I add or delete a co-borrower?

borrower, we will let you know, based on your credit strength. Learn more about adding or removing a co-borrower.

What is Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) and why is it good to have?

GAP is coverage that supplements your auto insurance. In the event your vehicle is totaled or stolen, GAP pays the difference between the value of your vehicle (which your insurance company will pay) and the outstanding balance on your loan (also known as the “gap.”) We hope it never happens to you, but in an already bad situation, GAP coverage can be a great option to reduce your financial risk.

Because we work with an industry-leading provider of GAP coverage and we complete lots of loans, we have negotiated a great rate. Your cost can be lower than you might be able to get through a car dealership or other lending programs. The cost of the GAP coverage is included in your loan, and only adds a few dollars to your monthly payment. If you already have GAP coverage, we can help you cancel it. By law, your current GAP contract will not transfer to your new loan; however, you might be entitled to a pro-rated refund.

What’s involved in the process?

Let us know you are interested in exploring your options. We will guide you through the process of collecting your information (including doing a soft pull of your credit bureau information) and documents (such as a copy of your driver’s license). Most likely, you will be provided with some options for loan structure (APR, loan term, monthly payment, etc.) along with information about your options for Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) and Extended Service Contract coverage that can be included in your loan. Once approved by a lender in our national network,  we fill out the paperwork (really!) and send it to you through a highly secure system that protects your personal information and data. You sign and return the documents, and then we work with your new lender to handle paying off your current loan and updating your title paperwork. Then, you just start making your loan payments to the new lender. Boom, you’re done.
