Is Car Finance Right for Me?

Choosing the right car finance option depends on your individual needs, preferences, and financial situation.

Below is a comparison of the three main finance types we offer at Green 4 Motor Company: PCP, HP, and PCH.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

Best for: Drivers seeking flexibility with lower monthly payments and the option to own the car at the end.

  • Ownership: Optional at the end of the agreement.
  • Monthly Payments: Typically lower, as you're paying off the car's depreciation.
  • Deposit: Usually required.
  • Mileage Restrictions: Yes; exceeding the limit may incur charges.
  • End-of-Term Options:
    -Pay the final balloon payment to own the car.
    -Return the car with no further obligations (subject to mileage and condition).
    -Part-exchange for a new vehicle.

Hire Purchase (HP)

Best for: Individuals aiming for straightforward ownership with fixed payments.

  • Ownership: You own the car outright after the final payment.
  • Monthly Payments: Higher than PCP, as you're paying off the full value of the car.
  • Deposit: Usually required.
  • Mileage Restrictions: None.
  • End-of-Term Options:
    -No further payments; the car is yours to keep.

Personal Contract Hire (PCH)

Best for: Those who prefer leasing a car without the intention of ownership.

  • Ownership: You never own the car.
  • Monthly Payments: Fixed and often lower, as you're only renting the car.
  • Deposit: Typically required.
  • Mileage Restrictions: Yes; exceeding the limit may incur charges.
  • End-of-Term Options:
    -Return the car and, if desired, lease a new one.
