There are several elements to consider when it comes to choosing between a Hire Purchase contract and a Personal Contract Purchase. Determine your monthly budget, car usage and any plans to upgrade in the future to ensure you fund your next car in a way that suits you.

Here are the types of car finance that we offer:

  • Hire Purchase (HP)
    Finance your car by spreading the cost with fixed monthly repayments for the term of your agreement. You make higher monthly payments than Purchase Contract Purchase (PCP), so when you come to the end of your agreement you’ll own the car.
    This type of finance is great if you:
    Want to have the full amount borrowed paid off by the end of your agreement.
    Would like to own the car outright when your agreement finishes.
    Don’t want to commit to monthly mileage limits.
    Things to consider:
    Monthly payments may be higher than some other finance options, such as PCP, as you are paying off the full value of the car.
    You won’t be able to sell the car without settling the finance.
    You won’t own the car until you have made all of your repayments.
  • Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)
    With PCP, you pay lower monthly instalments than HP. This is because a large part of the total amount payable is left to the end of the agreement in the final repayment.
    At the end of the agreement, you have three options. You can hand the car back to the finance company (the car must be in good condition and within the agreed mileage, otherwise charges may apply), part exchange it for another car on a new agreement (subject to status) or pay the final repayment to own the car.

    This could be ideal if you:
    Want to keep your monthly repayments as low as possible.
    Think you’ll want to change your car in the next few years.
    Are confident you’ll stay within the agreed monthly mileage limits.
    Things to consider:
    You will need to agree an annual mileage allowance at the beginning of the contract – There will be charges if you exceed the agreed annual mileage.
    Should you choose to keep the car at the end of the agreement you will need to pay the Guaranteed Future Value/balloon amount.
