What's the difference between Hire Purchase (HP) and Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)?
HP is a finance plan that allows you to spread the cost of the car by making monthly payments over an agreed term.
You make higher monthly payments than a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement, so that when you come to the end of the agreement you'll own the car.
Unlike PCP, there are no limits on mileage.
HP could be right for you if want to own the car at the end of the agreement, without the need to make a larger final payment.
PCP is a finance plan where you make equal monthly payments over an agreed term, with a larger final repayment due at the end if you decide to keep the car.
At the end of the agreement, you have three options. You can hand the car back to the finance company (the must be in good condition and within the agreed mileage, otherwise charges may apply), part exchange it for another car on a new agreement (subject to status), or pay the final repayment to own the car.
PCP could be right for you if you're thinking of changing your car in the next few years, or if you're unsure whether you want to buy the car at the end of the agreement.
