Personal Contract Purchase

What is Personal Contract Purchase

Personal Contract Purchase, also known as PCP, is a popular way of financing a vehicle and is usually based upon a Hire Purchase (HP) agreement. The main difference is that the vehicle's value at the end of the agreement is calculated at the start and is then deferred. This is referred to as the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value (GMFV) and is based on various factors including the starting mileage, the user's projected annual mileage and the age of the car.
  • At the end of a PCP agreement the user has three options:
  • Pay the GMFV and keep the car
  • Trade the car in and use any equity towards their next car purchase
  • Hand the car back with nothing more to pay

Under a PCP agreement, monthly instalments are based on the amount borrowed minus the GMFV.

How does it work?

You pay an initial deposit - normally 10-30% - and then the balance in fixed monthly instalments over an agreed term (24-48 months). At the end of the contract, you can choose to hand the car back with nothing more to pay, part exchange it and use any equity (the difference between the trade-in value and the GMFV) towards the purchase of your next car, or simply pay off the GMFV and keep the car.

What are the benefits of Personal Contract Purchase?

  • Flexible deposit options at the start
  • Lower monthly payments than Hire Purchase
  • Fixed monthly payments throughout the term of the agreement
  • Three options at the end of your agreement
  • Easy to budget for your next car purchase

Why choose PCP?


PCPs are great if you want to change your car on a regular cycle and enjoy fixed monthly payments that are lower than a traditional Hire Purchase.
Hire Purchase with a balloon

What is Hire Purchase with a balloon?

Hire Purchase with a balloon payment is very similar to a standard Hire Purchase agreement, but like a PCP a certain amount of the loan is deferred until the end as a final "balloon" payment to reduce the monthly payments. For cars with strong residual values, the final balloon can be more flexible than a PCP, which can further reduce monthly payments. The balloon amount is agreed in advance and fixed, but unlike a PCP there is no Guaranteed Minimum Future Value and the final payment has to be settled at the end of the agreement if you want to take ownership of the vehicle. The alternatives are part exchanging or refinancing the vehicle.

How does it work?

You make an initial deposit - normally 10-30% - and pay for the vehicle monthly until the end of the agreement, when you will need to pay the balloon payment to take ownership of the vehicle, refinance the outstanding balance or trade the car in.

What are the benefits of Hire Purchase + Balloon?

  • Lower monthly payments than equivalent HP
  • More flexible final payment than a PCP
  • A simple way to finance a vehicle purchase
  • Flexible deposit options at the start
  • A choice of agreement length based on your own financial circumstances
  • Fixed monthly repayments

Why choose Hire Purchase + Balloon


HP Balloon agreements are ideal for those purchasing collectable or classic cars with strong residual values such as limited production Porsche and Ferrari models. Unlike a PCP, there is no age limit on the vehicle at the end of the agreement.
Hire Purchase

What is Hire Purchase?

A Hire Purchase agreement allows you to pay for your vehicle monthly over a fixed period (usually 2-5 years). The interest rate and monthly payments are fixed at the start of the agreement and the car becomes yours when you have made the final monthly payment. In effect, the vehicle is hired until you make your final monthly payment, after which you own it. Sometimes also referred to as a Lease Purchase, Hire Purchase agreements are also available with the option of a final balloon payment which further reduces the monthly payments

How does it work?

You make an initial deposit - normally 10-40% - and pay for the vehicle monthly until the end of the agreement, when you take ownership. The finance is secured on the vehicle - a bit like a mortgage.

What are the benefits of Hire Purchase?

  • A simple way to finance a vehicle purchase
  • Flexible deposit options at the start
  • A choice of agreement length based on your own financial circumstances
  • Fixed monthly repayments

Why choose Hire Purchase?


Hire Purchase is ideal if you intend to keep the car at the end of the agreement.
