Vehicle Loans

There are lots of places to turn for car loans, but only one where your interests come first — your credit union. We combine competitive rates with flexible terms to help put the car you want within reach.

Great Rates & Flexible Terms

Whether new or used, DCTFCU offers competitive rates with terms ranging from just 24 for months to up to 84 months. Save even more when you make a 10% down payment. Looking for 0% down? We can do that at a great rate too!

Refinance & Save

Are you paying too much for your current auto loan? Refinance your vehicle at DCTFCU for a lower rate and lower monthly payments.

See How Much You Can Save

Cars, Boats and Planes — Oh my!

Whether it be a car, truck, SUV or van, DCTFCU can finance it for you. We’ve also got you covered on the water and in the air. Come to your credit union for great rates on boats and airplanes.

Apply Now

Before you shop, apply for a loan pre-approval so you will know how much buying power you have. Complete a loan application and return it to the credit union in person, by fax or by mail with your two most recent pay stubs and a copy of a government issued identification i.e. driver’s license.
