Find the finance approach that suits you
Whether you are choosing a new or used car, understanding how different agreements work can help you decide. Would you like to own your car, keep your options open or return it at the end of a rental agreement?
The summaries below explain three types of agreement. Available products and terms vary by vehicle; our team can confirm the options for the car you choose.
Options at the end
Solutions Personal Contract Plan (PCP)
Pay a deposit followed by monthly payments, with an agreed amount deferred until the end. Your payments depend on the car, deposit, term and agreed annual mileage.
At the end, you can:
- Keep the car by paying the optional final payment and option to purchase fee.
- Return it, subject to the agreement’s mileage and condition requirements.
- Part-exchange it for another car, settling the outstanding finance. Any equity depends on its value.
Bear in mind: You do not own the car until all required payments have been made. Excess mileage and damage charges may apply if you return it.

A route to ownership
Hire Purchase (HP)
Hire Purchase spreads the cost of buying your car over an agreed term. You pay an initial deposit followed by fixed monthly instalments.
How it works:
- Agree your deposit and repayment period.
- Monthly instalments cover the remaining vehicle price plus interest.
- Own the car once all payments and the option to purchase fee have been paid.
- There is no agreed annual mileage limit.
Bear in mind: Ownership transfers only when you have completed the agreement. Consider the monthly payments and total amount payable when comparing your options.

Drive it. Return it.
Contract Hire
Contract Hire is a rental agreement. You pay to use a car for an agreed period and mileage, then return it at the end.
How it works:
- Make an initial rental payment followed by fixed monthly rentals.
- Agree your contract length and annual mileage.
- Ask about including servicing, maintenance and tyres for an additional cost.
- Return the car when your agreement ends. There is no option to purchase it under the agreement.
Bear in mind: You will not own the car. Excess mileage, damage beyond fair wear and tear, and early termination may result in additional charges.
