What is Hire Purchase?

Hire purchase HP is a straightforward financing option where you pay a deposit upfront and then make monthly payments until the car is paid off in full.

  • How do you finance a used car?

    It’s common to purchase used vehicles with car finance, and it’s definitely something to consider if you’d like to avoid paying the full amount in one go.

    When you buy a car using finance, there’s a credit agreement between you and the lender that allows you to pay for the car over a period of time.

    In most cases, you’ll just have to make a deposit on a car and pay the rest of the balance throughout the length of your finance contract.

  • What is the best way to finance a used car?

    The best way to finance a used car is to use the method that best suits your needs. This is why it's so important to do your research—it'll help you decide on the best route.

    PCP finance might be better if you're not fully committed to a car and would like the option to hand it back at the end of your contract.

    HP car finance might be a better choice if you're set on keeping your car and don't want to deal with the balloon payment that comes at the end of PCP.

    A personal loan can also be beneficial if you don't want to pay a deposit and would rather loan the money to purchase your car.

    Consider all of the benefits and drawbacks of each finance method before you make the jump.

  • How many months can i finance a used car for?

    If you’ve decided to buy a used vehicle and are choosing to make your purchase with a car finance agreement, you need to know not only how much you can afford to pay each month but over how many years you wish to repay the debt. As a result, you might be wondering, ‘How long are car loans for on used cars?’

    There are many different forms of finance available to car buyers of used vehicles, including Hire Purchase (HP), Personal Contract Plans (PCPs), and personal or fixed sum loans. With all of these options, the length of term is typically between 12 to 60 months (one to five years).
