Yes, it is a good idea to apply for any loan that offers good terms. Just because you have one offer doesn’t mean you should not also check out other deals. You may be missing out on a better deal.
Banks and lenders can often be very competitive and many offer the same types of loans with similar terms such as an auto loan, boat loan, home equity line of credit (HELOC), home equity loan, motorcycle loan etc... The rates offered by each lender are typically not all that different from one another. They may offer slightly different repayment terms or some sort of additional benefit to one lender over another such as a lower interest rate but the difference is often negligible and not worth losing out on the loan.
Applying for multiple loans gives you several options and if you are unsure which deal is best, apply to all of them.
You can simply hold off on making a decision until after you have had time to consider each deal offered. Often times there are limited windows of opportunity - such as rebates - that will expire after a set time so even if you don’t think you need the money right away, it is best to take advantage of it while it is still available.
