Special Loan Program for Chiba Flood Victims

In the aftermath of the devastating heavy rains in Chiba Prefecture in August 2026, many residents faced severe challenges, particularly those who lost their vehicles. With over 10,000 cars reported damaged, the impact of losing a vehicle in a car-dependent area like Chiba is profound, affecting daily commutes, school runs, shopping, and even medical visits. Recognizing the distress caused by these floods, Car Creative Japan, a subsidiary of East Creative Co., Ltd., has launched a special low-interest loan program aimed at those affected.

Program Overview

Starting August 25, 2026, the special program offers a unique opportunity for individuals who can prove their vehicle was damaged during the August floods. The key features of this program include:

1. Special Low-Interest Loan Rates:
- New Cars: Effective interest rate of 3.5%
- Used Cars: Effective interest rate of 3.8%

Customers can consolidate their existing loans, including those from other lenders, into a new vehicle loan. This initiative not only helps ease the financial burden but also allows victims to secure a new vehicle without the stress of their previous loan hanging over them.

2. Additional Financial Support:
To further support flood victims, customers who enroll in the loan program will receive a 25% discount on the Byakko Premium Car Coating, a service developed by Car Creative, aimed at protecting vehicles from wear and tear and maintaining their value. This discount extends beyond the usual 20% offered, as a gesture of solidarity during these difficult times.

3. Flexible Vehicle Options:
Whether customers prefer to purchase a new car through authorized Nissan dealers or find the perfect used car that matches their pre-flood vehicle, the program accommodates various purchasing needs. Customers can browse existing inventory or even place custom orders tailored to specific preferences, ensuring they find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

4. Community Support and Goal:
The motivation behind this initiative is rooted in community solidarity. In light of the recent floods, Car Creative seeks to ease the transition for those who need to acquire a new vehicle and alleviate the anxiety surrounding financial commitments related to past damages. The hope is that by offering this program, former vehicle owners can regain a sense of normalcy in their daily lives sooner.

Implementation and Contact Information

The program will be available indefinitely as of August 25, 2026, but may end depending on the partners involved in the lending process. Further updates will be announced through the company's website and official X account @CarCreativeJP.
