The collateral for an auto loan is the vehicle itself. When you take out an auto loan, the lender uses the vehicle as security in case you are unable to repay the loan. If you default on the loan, the lender can repossess the vehicle to recoup their losses.

Is an auto loan a personal loan?

An auto loan and a personal loan are both loans. Personal loans can be secured or unsecured. Secured meaning that there is some form of collateral to back up the loan in the event that the borrower defaults.
