RTA Makes Vehicle Ownership Easier for Northern and Indigenous Communities
For many Ontarians, especially those living in Northern or remote regions, buying a vehicle is not as simple as visiting a dealership. Long travel distances, unpredictable weather, limited public transportation, and time away from work or family can make the traditional dealership experience difficult or unrealistic.
Right Turn Auto Credit (RTA) recognises these challenges and offers a more accessible solution. Our online vehicle buying process, combined with province wide delivery, allows you to complete your purchase from home and have your approved vehicle delivered directly to your property.
For Indigenous clients living on reserve, vehicle delivery also plays an important role in how federal GST and HST exemptions may apply. Just as importantly, online buying removes barriers for clients who are navigating bankruptcy, consumer proposals, high vehicle payments, or limited local financing options.
This article explains how the online process works, why delivery matters, and how RTA supports buyers across Ontario with clear, respectful, and practical guidance.
Why Buying a Car Online Matters for Many Ontarians
Ontario is a large province with communities spread far apart. For people living outside major cities, buying a vehicle often involves:
• Long travel to the nearest dealership
• Taking time off work for multiple visits
• Difficulty arranging transportation to browse vehicles
• Limited local inventory or limited subprime financing options
• Winter weather that makes long drives unsafe
These barriers are even greater for many Northern and rural communities, where the nearest dealership may be several hours away. For individuals already dealing with financial stress, high car payments, or a vehicle that is breaking down, these obstacles can delay necessary decisions.
An online buying process removes these barriers and creates a more practical path to reliable transportation.
How RTA’s Online Car Buying Experience Works
RTA’s process is designed to give buyers full control without requiring in person visits.
Step 1. Connect With RTA Online or by Phone
You begin by speaking with an RTA specialist who learns about your vehicle needs, budget, and financial situation. This conversation often includes reviewing your current vehicle, payment, interest rate, or whether you are considering bankruptcy or a consumer proposal.
Step 2. Review Budget and Financing Options
Our team, including an Insolvency Counsellor, reviews your income, monthly expenses, and credit history. We confirm a payment range that is realistic and sustainable, especially for clients with high interest loans, negative equity, or active insolvency proceedings.
Step 3. Choose a Vehicle Remotely
RTA provides access to available used vehicles through online listings or guided phone support. We help you select a vehicle that fits your family needs, budget, and long term financial recovery.
Step 4. Complete Paperwork From Home
All financing documents are handled electronically. Clear explanations are provided at every step so you understand the terms before signing. There is no pressure to rush or commit before you are comfortable.
Step 5. Vehicle Delivery to Your Property
Once approved, RTA arranges delivery of your vehicle to your home, a community meeting point, or reserve land where applicable. You take possession of your vehicle without multiple dealership visits.
Benefits of Online Buying and Delivery for Northern Ontario
Northern Ontario communities face unique challenges that make traditional vehicle shopping difficult. RTA’s online and delivery service supports these buyers by providing:
Convenience and Reduced Travel
Eliminating long distance travel helps reduce:
• Time away from work
• Fuel and travel expenses
• Lost income
• Safety risks related to winter driving
Access to More Inventory
Many Northern communities have limited dealership options. Online buying provides access to a broader selection of reliable used vehicles that match your budget.
Easier Approval for Non Prime Credit
Local financing options may be limited. RTA specialises in working with individuals who have:
• Poor or limited credit
• Past or active bankruptcy
• Consumer proposals
• High interest auto loans
• High monthly vehicle payments
The online model allows these clients to access financing options that may not be available locally.
Delivery That Fits Your Schedule
RTA arranges delivery directly to your property or community, allowing you to take possession of your vehicle without leaving your region.
How Vehicle Delivery Supports Indigenous Communities
For Indigenous clients living on reserve, vehicle delivery plays a key role in both access and affordability.
Access Without Travel Barriers
Many reserves are far from urban centres. Delivery eliminates the need for multiple long trips for vehicle selection or paperwork.
Respectful and Flexible Communication
RTA offers:
• Phone and virtual appointments
• Clear, plain language explanations
• Options tailored to household and community needs
Potential GST or HST Exemption When Delivered to Reserve Land
Under the Government of Canada’s GST and HST administrative policy, eligible Indigenous buyers with a valid Certificate of Indian Status may qualify for tax exemption when:
• The vehicle is purchased for personal use, and
• The vehicle is delivered to reserve land by the vendor or the vendor’s agent
The exemption is based on delivery location, not residency. RTA can deliver vehicles directly to reserve land and provide appropriate delivery documentation to support compliance with federal guidelines.
The Financial Benefits of Buying Online Through RTA
Beyond convenience, RTA’s online process supports responsible financial decisions.
Clear Budgeting and Payment Guidance
We help confirm a payment range that fits your income and obligations, especially for clients dealing with high car payments or financial restructuring.
Support for Challenging Credit Situations
Clients receive guidance on approvals and next steps for rebuilding credit through consistent, on time payments.
No High Pressure Sales Environment
Online buying removes the pressure that many people experience in traditional dealerships, especially during vulnerable financial periods.
Transparent Pricing and Information
All fees, rates, and terms are explained clearly and upfront.
Who Benefits Most From Online Buying and Delivery Services
RTA’s service is ideal for:
• Northern Ontario residents

• Buyers navigating bankruptcy or consumer proposals
