What does maturity date mean on a loan?
I just got an email about the maturity date on my loan, and I don’t understand what it means. What is the maturity date on a car loan?

The maturity date on a loan refers to the date your final payment is due. If you’re receiving emails about your maturity date from your lender, that probably means that you’re approaching your final payment on your
car loan
.If you’re not able to pay your loan by the maturity date, your lender will probably charge you a late fee. You’ll also continue to accumulate interest on the unpaid parts of your loan, meaning it will get more expensive over time.
Once you do pay off your loan, though, your lender will relinquish any claim to your vehicle. Your promissory note will also be retired, releasing you from financial responsibility. At this point, you’ll own your car outright!
To save up for your final loan payments, why not save on your car insurance? The
