Understanding Car Finance: Your Options at The Car King

Home > BlogList > Understanding Car Finance: Your Options at The Car King

Buying a car is one of the biggest purchases you'll make, and at The Car King, we want to make it as straightforward as possible.


HP (Hire Purchase) - The Simple Option

With Hire Purchase, you put down a deposit (usually 10-20%) and pay fixed monthly payments over 2-5 years. Once you've made the final payment, the car is yours.


PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) - Lower Monthly Payments

PCP offers lower monthly payments. You pay a deposit, then monthly payments over 2-4 years. At the end, you have three choices: pay a final balloon payment to own the car, hand the car back, or part-exchange it.
