Hire Purchase Overview
Hire Purchase is a finance product used to purchase a car that allows you to repay the finance over a defined period. You hire the car for a set amount of time with the view to purchase the car at the end of the agreement. Usually, you will pay a deposit, followed by fixed, regular payments until the full cost of the vehicle has been covered. Once the final payment has been made you will then have ownership of the vehicle.
The finance is secured against the car and the interest rate charged is fixed for the term, you will not fully own the car until the last payment has cleared. If you are a private individual or a business, this is a simple and effective way to purchase a car with fixed regular payments. Available from 24 to 60 months.
