Getting a truck loan in Kozhikode
For a truck loan in Kozhikode, the lender pays the dealer directly and the vehicle is hypothecated to the lender, which is recorded on the registration certificate at the regional transport office in Kerala. Road tax and registration charges are set by the Kerala government and add to the on-road price, so ask the dealer for the full on-road quote and compare dealer-arranged finance with a direct offer from your bank on the APR in the Key Fact Statement.
