Four car finance options, one careful provider.

When it comes to financing your next car, we give you four options to match your needs. You can choose from Personal Contract Purchase (PCP), Hire Purchase (HP), Car Lease or a Personal Loan.

Important information: To apply for car finance you'll need to be aged over 18, a UK resident, hold a personal current account (min 3 months) and be registered for internet banking.

1. Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) can give you the flexibility to switch to a new car more often. 

At the end of the agreement, you can either pay the optional final lump sum to own the car, exchange it for a new one or you simply hand the car back and walk away (return conditions apply).

  • 1-4 year terms available.
  • Borrowing from £3,000 to £60,000 available
  • Own the car by paying a final lump sum, or return it.
  • No early repayment charges.
  • Yearly mileage limits.
  • If you choose PCP we cover most UK dealers. If you have any problems with the quality of your car, our dedicated team will be on hand to help you.
  • 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.
