Personal Finance Options

A popular solution for our personal customers, Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) comprises an initial deposit (which could be your current vehicle in part-exchange) and then a series of monthly payments over a fixed term (typically 12, 24, 36 or 48 months). This is followed by an Optional Final Payment, at which point you either give the car back to us and use the value of the car as a deposit for your next car, or you pay the final payment amount to own the car outright.

This is the same as PCP above, but instead of having the Optional Final Payment at the end of the term, you will have paid the full value of the car by the end of the agreement and will therefore own the car outright.

As the name suggests, this is in effect a hire agreement where you pay an initial deposit (which could be your current vehicle in part-exchange). This deposit typically amounts to a multiple of the monthly payment amount. For example, if the car is £299 a month, the deposit might be 10 times that, so £2,990. You then drive the car for the agreed hire period which includes a maximum mileage allowance and may include maintenance such as scheduled servicing. At the end of the agreement, you simply return the car and then decide on your next car.

The Motability Scheme is available to help those with disabilities or the people who care for them to own a new vehicle. We have more information about how the Motability Scheme works and who is eligible on our Motability page.
