PCP Information

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) is a method of funding where an individual leases a vehicle for a set period at a fixed monthly charge.

At the end of the contract, there is an optional balloon payment which the individual can pay to buy the vehicle otherwise they can choose to return the vehicle with nothing further to pay. The monthly charge is governed by the initial cost of the vehicle, the mileage covered, the period of the agreement and the estimated value of the vehicle at the end of the contract.

In addition, features ranging from basic servicing to total vehicle management packages can be included if required. PCP being an alternative to Hire Purchase, the traditional method of financing, is covered by the protections as set out in the consumer credit act.
