Why choose Calp for your car loan

Four reasons to finance your vehicle with us

A car loan typically commits you for 4 to 7 years. At Calp, we believe transparency on total cost and immediate ownership of your vehicle matter more than flashy dealership offers.

No vehicle pledge

No registration with the pledge registry. From delivery, you fully own the vehicle, free to resell, re-register or export it without needing our approval.

New, used and two-wheelers funded

New cars, used vehicles without age limit, two-wheelers, motorhomes, light commercial vehicles. We also finance private sales, which most dealer-affiliated loans do not.

Ancillary costs covered

The loan can include registration, vehicle tax, the first year of comprehensive insurance and optional equipment (tow hook, rims, accessories). One monthly payment, one contact.

Penalty-free early repayment

If you resell the vehicle or receive a windfall, you can repay early up to EUR 10,000 per year with zero penalty. Beyond that, the indemnity is legally capped at 1% of repaid capital.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, our answers.

01

Which vehicles are eligible?

New or used cars, two-wheelers, motorhomes. No age limit on the vehicle.

02

Do I need to provide a purchase order?

A purchase order or pro forma invoice is requested as a supporting document, but funds are not contractually earmarked.

03

Is the vehicle pledged?

No. No registered vehicle pledge. You own the vehicle outright from delivery.

04

Can I also finance the car insurance?

Yes, ancillary costs (registration, first-year insurance, equipment) can be financed within the same envelope.

05

Can the vehicle be registered outside France?

Yes, provided the country of registration is in the EU, EEA or Switzerland. You remain responsible for taxes and registration in that country. Calp only requires comprehensive insurance to be maintained throughout the loan term.

06

Can I finance an electric or hybrid vehicle?

Yes, and electric vehicles benefit from a 0.20% APR discount versus the standard rate sheet. The government's ecological bonus stays with the buyer and is not deducted from the financed amount. Home charging stations can be included in the loan.

07

What down payment is required for a car loan?

No down payment is required: Calp finances up to 100% of the vehicle price, ancillary fees included. A 10% to 20% deposit nonetheless reduces the monthly payment, shortens the term and unlocks a more favourable APR. For vehicles above EUR 50,000, a minimum 15% deposit is recommended for file balance.

No pledge,
no surprises.

Fast decision, known monthly payment, immediate ownership.
