Frequently Asked Questions

Why is TCO higher than my monthly payment × 60?+

Because you also pay for insurance, fuel, tires, service, and depreciation. Those non-loan costs often equal or exceed the loan itself.

Are these national averages?+

Defaults are rough national averages. Adjust each field to match your situation — insurance especially varies widely by state and driver history.
