What Is Car Finance?

The Oxford definition of finance is 'provide funding for a person or enterprise'. That's what car finance is - funding for a person or enterprise to use in the purchase of a car.

Car finance helps to spread the cost of the purchase of a new or used car, instead of paying the amount in full upfront you pay monthly. 


There are multiple ways to pay for a car on finance, these agreements are hire purchase (HP), lease purchase or personal contract purchase (PCP). Each of these products works a little differently, but essentially the finance company will buy the car on your behalf and you will repay the value of the car plus interest.

The most common form of car finance. A hire purchase agreement is a hiring agreement between the customer and finance company secured against the vehicle. the customer has the option to own the vehicle at the end of the agreement subject to payment of the 'option to purchase' fee.

Lease purchase is a form of conditional sale agreement, which means that regular payments are similar to a lease/rental agreement but you will own the vehicle at the end of the deal. You may be asked to pay a number of monthly payments at the start of your agreement and a sum is usually deferred to the end of the deal. The deferred sum will be determined by the age and mileage of the vehicle at the end of the agreement. 

PCP is in essence a purchase agreement. However, a predicted minimum future value (balloon payment) is offset to the end of the agreement, this is called optional final payment (OFP). At the end of the term you have three options;

  1. Keep the vehicle after paying the optional final payment 
  2. Hand the vehicle back to the finance company 
  3. Part exchange for another vehicle. 

PCP is subject to agreed mileage at the end of the term where excess charges may apply. Please ensure the mileage band meets your needs.
