What Is Car Finance?
Car finance lets you spread the cost of a car over time instead of paying upfront. You borrow the amount, then repay it monthly with interest, usually through options like HP or PCP.
The deal you're offered isn't just about the car. It depends on your credit, your income, and how any existing car finance factors in.
HP or PCP: What's the Difference?
- HP (Hire Purchase): you pay off the full value of the car in monthly instalments. Once the last payment clears, the car's yours outright.
- PCP (Personal Contract Purchase): your monthly payments cover the car's depreciation, not its full value, so they're usually lower. At the end, you either pay a lump sum to keep the car, hand it back, or trade it in and start again.
Neither is "better," it depends on whether you want to own the car outright or keep your options open at the end of the term.

New user
New here? You can still apply, it just takes a couple more steps to get your details in.
Two ways to do it:
- Found your next car already? Choose it in car search and we'll attach it to your application.
- Sorting finance first? Apply before you've picked a car, then go hunting once you know what you can get.
Either way, it's one less thing to juggle. You're still in the driver's seat. We're just handing you the paperwork already half done.
