At a time when the coronavirus pandemic is far from over and social distancing norms are still in place, many argue it’s safer to travel in personal modes of transport instead of public transportation to avoid getting infected from the deadly virus during daily commutes. In doing so, it’s usually more economical to buy and maintain a two-wheeler vehicle instead of a car.

Two-wheelers also allow us to wiggle through bumper-to-bumper traffic and reach our destination much faster than a car. That being said, if you’re planning to buy a new motorbike or a scooter but falling short of funds, you can consider taking a loan to finance it, especially when they are available at competitive interest rates.

However, before applying for a two-wheeler loan, here are a few things you should keep in mind. Firstly, you may want to compare your offers from different lenders to find a deal that best meets your requirements. You can compare applicable interest rates, processing fees, prepayment charges, etc. while considering the ease of loan processing too. You can also check whether you’re eligible for any pre-approved loan offer from your existing bank for faster loan disbursal, according to BankBazaar.

While the document requirements too could vary from lender to lender, they are usually age and identity proof, income proofs and address proof; you’ll be well-advised to get complete clarity on these and arrange for the required documents in advance to accelerate the process.

Lastly, do not over-borrow just because you’re eligible for a higher loan amount, and evaluate the affordability of the EMIs before signing up for a loan.
