Paying for a car with a credit card is one way to earn rewards, but not all car dealers accept credit cards. You can pay with credit at some dealerships, but there might be a limit on how much you can spend. Keep reading to learn the ins and outs of buying a car with a credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-car-dealers-accept-credit-cards\">Do Car Dealers Accept Credit Cards?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all car dealers accept credit, but some do. It\u2019s common for car dealers to let you pay for the down payment using a credit card. Some dealers won\u2019t accept credit cards because of the credit card processing fee, which is usually 1-3.5% of the entire purchase. To avoid getting hit with heavy processing fees, car dealers usually prefer other forms of <a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW2187720 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/blog\/how-to-budget-for-a-car\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW2187720 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW2187720 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">payment<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u2014cash, money orders, personal checks, cashier\u2019s checks, ACH transfers, etc.\u2014over credit card payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-it-a-good-idea-to-pay-for-a-car-with-a-credit-card\">Is It a Good Idea to Pay for a Car with a Credit Card?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are pros and cons to <a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW48862246 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/blog\/how-to-buy-your-first-car\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW48862246 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW48862246 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">buying a car<\/span><\/span><\/a> with a credit card. While purchasing a car using your credit card can help you earn points and rewards, you might be charged expensive fees and interest that could outweigh the benefits of using your card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-convenience-fees\">Convenience Fees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some dealers charge convenience fees to customers who pay with credit to offset the cost of the transaction fee. A convenience fee typically costs between 2-4% of the total transaction, which might negate any savings or rewards you earn from paying with credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-credit-limit-and-credit-utilization\">Credit Limit and Credit Utilization<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your credit card limit is the maximum amount you\u2019re allowed to charge on your card. Depending on the price of the car, you might exceed your credit card limit if you put the entire purchase on your card. Even if the purchase is within your limit, you don\u2019t want to approach the limit as this can raise your credit utilization ratio, or the amount of credit you\u2019re using compared to your total available credit. A high credit utilization score can negatively impact your <a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW229385613 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/blog\/buying-a-car-with-bad-credit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW229385613 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW229385613 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">credit score<\/span><\/span><\/a> over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-high-interest-rates\">High-Interest Rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Interest rates on car loans are usually cheaper than credit card interest, especially for car loan borrowers with good credit. If you plan on paying for the car over time, using an auto loan instead of credit will reduce the amount of interest you pay overall. However, it\u2019s possible to avoid interest charges if you purchase a car and pay it off within your credit card\u2019s 0% APR window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-potential-rewards\">Potential Rewards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re purchasing a car with a credit card, you want the potential rewards to offset the fees mentioned above. Some car manufacturers have created credit cards that earn points and rewards you can use to buy a discounted car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re considering purchasing a car, make sure to secure quality insurance before you hit the road.
