Adventure Finance FAQs
Homepage FAQs
Can I get pre-approved before I choose the exact vehicle, caravan, camper, boat or jet ski?
Yes. A conditional pre-approval may help you understand a potential finance range before the final purchase is selected. Final approval can still depend on the purchase, price, seller or supplier information, lender criteria, verification and final assessment.
Can Adventure Finance help with more than just the vehicle?
Yes. Depending on the project and lender, eligible build or upgrade costs may be considered alongside the vehicle or through another suitable finance structure. Adventure Finance can review the broader project and explain the pathways that may be available.
Can I finance upgrades to a 4x4 I already own?
Yes. Finance options may be available for eligible upgrades to an existing vehicle. The available structure can depend on the vehicle, any existing finance, the upgrade costs, supplier information and lender criteria.
Do I need all my supplier quotes before I start the finance conversation?
No. You can start the finance conversation while you are still planning, even if every supplier quote is not final. Detailed supplier quotes, invoices or final purchase information may be required later before final approval or settlement.
What can Adventure Finance help finance?
Adventure Finance can explore finance options for eligible 4x4s, 4x4 builds and upgrades, trays and canopies, caravans, camper trailers, boats, jet skis and other relevant adventure purchases where lender criteria allow.
What is the difference between Adventure Finance and Built for Adventure?

Get Pre-Approved FAQs
What is finance pre-approval?
Finance pre-approval generally refers to an initial lender assessment that may provide an indication of the finance range available before the final purchase or project is confirmed. The exact process and conditions vary between lenders.
Is conditional pre-approval the same as final approval?
No. Conditional pre-approval is not final approval and is not a guarantee of finance. Final approval may still depend on the selected purchase, final price, supplier or seller information, verification, lender criteria and final assessment.
Can I get pre-approved before visiting a dealer or supplier?
Yes. Starting the finance conversation early can help you understand the potential range you may be working with before making major commitments to a dealer, builder or supplier.
Can I get pre-approved before choosing the exact 4x4?
Yes. Some lenders may consider a conditional pre-approval before the exact vehicle is known. The final vehicle still needs to meet the lender's criteria before final approval.
Can I get pre-approved before choosing the exact caravan or camper trailer?
Yes. The final caravan or camper, purchase price, seller and purchase details still need to be reviewed before final approval.
Can I get pre-approved before choosing a boat or jet ski?
Yes. The final boat or jet ski, purchase price and purchase details still need to meet lender criteria before final approval.
How much can I get pre-approved for?
The potential amount depends on factors such as income, living expenses, existing commitments, credit profile, intended purchase, project structure and lender criteria. Adventure Finance can help you explore the potential range based on your circumstances.
How long does pre-approval last?
The timeframe depends on the lender and the type of conditional approval. Adventure Finance can confirm the applicable timeframe when the pre-approval is arranged.
Does pre-approval mean I have to use the full amount?
No. A potential finance range is a planning tool. The final amount may be lower and will depend on the purchase or project ultimately selected and the lender's final assessment.
Do I need all my supplier quotes before I get pre-approved?
No. You can start the pre-approval conversation while supplier quotes are still being finalised. Detailed quotes may be required later before final approval or settlement.
Can I get pre-approved for a vehicle and build together?
Yes. The available structure depends on the vehicle, eligible build costs, suppliers, customer circumstances and lender criteria. Adventure Finance can review the broader project and explain the options that may be available.
Will pre-approval lock me into one lender?
That depends on the structure and lender involved. Adventure Finance can explain the lender selected, any conditions attached to the pre-approval and what happens if the project changes before final approval.

Yes. Business-use vehicles may require a different finance structure from personal-use vehicles. The appropriate pathway depends on the intended use, vehicle, business circumstances and lender criteria.
Do I need to know the exact build before financing the 4x4?
No. You can begin the finance conversation while the build is still being planned, even if every detail is not final. Detailed supplier quotes and final build information may be required later if the build forms part of the finance application.
How long does 4x4 finance approval take?
Timing depends on the lender, the completeness of the information, the vehicle, seller type and any additional assessment requirements. Adventure Finance can explain what information is needed for the specific application.
