Options for all credit scores
Life happens to us all. If you’ve gone through a rough time and are feeling financially unstable, we have auto loans options for you.
Renew Auto Loans
Do you have a low credit score? We have an auto loan option that provides essential transportation for you and your family. If you’re worried that your credit issues may prevent you from qualifying for an auto loan, then our Renew Auto Loan might be a great option for you.
L.I.F.T. Auto Loans
L.I.F.T. Auto Loans provide Lower Interest For Timely payments. This loan is specifically for our members with challenged credit. That’s right—get rewarded for paying on time. We’ll reduce your interest rate by 1% APR for each 12-month period of on-time payments, up to 3% APR over the life of the loan.
MPG Estimator
Don’t forget, a major financial piece of owning a car is the gas you put into it! Fuel efficiency is measured in Miles Per Gallon (MPG), by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The higher the MPGs, the more efficient and affordable your car will be.
Here’s a handy, interactive tool to estimate your future vehicle’s MPG, to see how much you can expect to spend (or save!) on gas per year.
Quick Tip
Choose the shortest loan term length you can afford.
As the prices of cars goes up, so have the available term lengths. One way to pay less money in interest over the length of the loan is to shorten the term.
I picked the kind of car I wanted
Jan, Port OrchardFor the first time in my life, I picked the kind of car I wanted. In the past, I went to a dealership that would charge me too much, and they would tell me what I could afford. With the help of Peninsula, I picked my own car.

Garrett, SheltonWith the help of Peninsula Credit Union, I was able to purchase my first car. It wasn’t brand new, it wasn’t that fancy, but it was mine. Thank you, Peninsula!
