What is Hire Purchase?
Hire Purchase (HP) is a popular type of car finance that lets you spread the cost of your vehicle, plus any interest and the option to purchase fee at the end, by paying fixed monthly repayments over 12 to 60 months to suit your budget.
No minimum deposit is required, so you can choose to either finance the vehicle entirely, or put down a deposit to reduce the monthly payments.
When you have paid off the finance agreement, and settled the option to purchase fee, the vehicle becomes yours.
You may also qualify for additional borrowing to:
- pay off your previous vehicle finance (also known as settlement shortfall or negative equity)
- cover additional products like service plans, tyre insurance or extended warranties.
This will be added to the total amount borrowed. For more details, ask your dealership.
