FAQ's

What is PCP?

What is HP?

HP, also known as Hire Purchase agreement, is a car finance agreement where you will usually pay an initial deposit and will pay off the entire value of the car in monthly instalments. When all the payments are made, the Hire Purchase agreement ends and you own the car. HP will be available to most customers, even those with poor credit ratings. This is because the loan is secured against the car and is used as collateral.
