When is my first payment due on a car loan?

I've already been approved for a car loan, but I want to make sure it lines up with my monthly pay period. When is my first payment due?

Kudos to you for being on top of your payments! In general, your first payment is due 30 days after you sign for the
car loan
.
However, you can often adjust the payment date to your schedule. For example, you could pay 45 days after the loan, as long as you’re okay to accrue a bit more interest on the loan.
