PCP finance is the most popular form of car finance in the UK today, largely because it’s affordable and flexible. It’s available on both new and used cars.

Simply put down a small deposit, then make monthly repayments over an agreed period with a large portion of the purchase price left over unpaid at the end (this is sometimes referred to as a balloon payment). At that point, you can either pay it off and the car is yours; return the car ​and walk away; or start a new agreement on a different car.

How does it work?

• Simply choose the car ​(new or used) you like.
• Choose the most suitable repayment period for you.
• Decide on the small deposit contribution that suits you.
• Agree on your anticipated annual mileage.
• You will then be given a Guaranteed Minimum Future Value which becomes your optional final payment.
• This value is guaranteed by the finance provider which is why it is commonly known as a Guaranteed Minimum Future Value.
• The remaining balance is then divided by the term you have agreed to calculate your monthly repayments.

Important information

At the end of your agreement you have three options:

1. If you fancy a change you can simply part exchange your car ​for a different make/model on a new Solutions contract

2. If you love your car ​you can pay the option to purchase fee and the optional final payment then take full ownership of the car

3. If you don't want to upgrade or keep it, as long as it's been loved, you can simply give it back. (fees may be payable)

It is important that you keep up to date with your monthly repayments, so please contact your lender if you are having any difficulties as the car maybe at risk if you don’t.

You may end your agreement earlier than the full term. However, depending how far you are in to your agreement will affect the final amount left to pay.

If you exceed agreed mileage at the start of your agreement and intend to return the car then excess mileage charges will apply.

Keep the car in good condition as this will affect the value of the car. You may be charged for any damage that goes beyond fair wear and tear.

PCP may not be suitable if you want to settle the agreement early or if want to own the car at the end of the term and may have difficulty in making the balloon payment. Smaller deposits work better with a PCP.
