RateGenius is a refinance service rather than a lender: it compares more than 150 lenders nationwide, most of them credit unions, and handles the work of moving your loan. Its refinance page shows interest rates as low as 4.67% and an average savings of $141.43 a month. To apply, you need only personal, vehicle and current loan information; anyone 18 or older who is a US citizen with an existing auto loan can apply. RateGenius is upfront about cost: it says the majority of borrowers will pay an origination fee of up to $595, which you should weigh against the monthly savings before you sign. It also offers title services, vehicle service contracts and GAP waivers, which are optional add-ons rather than part of the loan. Because it only refinances, it is not a choice for buying a car. Compare its offer with myAutoloan and Caribou, which also send one application to several lenders.
