  • Save money with tech – access modern car safety technology and save money with fuel-efficient or electric used cars

Types of Finance Available for Used Cars

Hire Purchase (HP)

This is a popular option where you pay an initial deposit followed by fixed monthly payments. The car is yours once all payments are made.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

With PCP, you pay lower monthly instalments, and at the end of the term, you can choose to make a final payment to own the car, return it, or trade it in for a new one.

Personal Loans

This involves taking out a loan from a bank or lender to pay for the car in full. You then repay the loan in monthly instalments.
