Car finance

How we can help you finance a car

Buying a car outright can be expensive. We offer a range of options that could get you behind the wheels.

  •  

    Hire Purchase (HP)

    A hire purchase agreement could be right for you, if you

    • want to own the car at the end of the agreement
    • want fixed monthly payments
    • prefer no mileage restrictions
    • want no early repayment charges or final lump sum
    • like to select a repayment term from 1 - 5 years.
    • Once your application is agreed and you’ve signed the legal documents online, we transfer the finance amount direct to the dealership the same day. The money could be in your account in a few hours (usually 2 hours). Payments made after 2.30pm will be received before 12pm the following day.

    5.9% APR representative when you borrow between £7,000 and £25,000.

Refinance your car

If you already have car finance with another provider, you could switch your car finance and save money.

We offer two different car finance options - Personal Contract purchase (PCP) or Hire Purchase (HP).

Here are some of the benefits of refinancing:

  • you could lower your monthly repayments
  • spread the cost of a final lump sum payment
  • the money is sent directly to the finance provider.
  • Once your application is agreed and you’ve signed the legal documents online, we transfer the finance amount direct to your current finance provider the same day. The money could be in your account in a few hours (usually 2 hours). Payments made after 2.30pm will be received before 12pm the following day.

5.9% APR representative when you borrow between £7,000 and £25,000. This is based on our Hire Purchase product.
