What type of car finance is right for you?
Hire Purchase (HP):
Benefits of Hire Purchase:
- Fixed monthly repayments over an agreed period.
- You hire the car from the finance company, taking responsibility for it and making monthly payments until you have paid the total amount owed. You are the registered keeper of the vehicle throughout the payment purchase and then at the end of the repayment period, you have the option to take ownership of the car.
- As you’ve paid off the cost of the car by this point, all you pay is a small option to purchase fee. This could be anything from £1 – £299+.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP):
Benefits of Personal Contract Purchase:
- No need to worry about depreciation
- Lower monthly installments for a better car.
- With PCP you are only paying for part of the total amount due and have the choice to return the car at the end of your repayment period. You still pay monthly instalments to the finance company as with other forms of credit, but at the end of the repayment period, you can pay a lump sum, (commonly known as a balloon payment) which will be higher than the monthly repayments you have been making.
- PCP enables you to pay less each month for a car of the same value than you would with a traditional HP purchase.
