How to Buy a Car on Finance



When buying a car, there are car financing options available that can provide affordable and flexible ways of buying a car. These include PCP, Personal Contract Hire and PML. However, understanding exactly what each one offers is imperative to securing a plan that works for you.

That’s why we’ve put together a complete guide of how to buy on a car on finance, sharing the ins and outs of PCP and PML and how they can offer you flexibility and long-term value.

Getting a car on finance: what are your options ?



If you’re looking to get a car on finance, you need to consider the options available to you.

A couple of car financing options that are particularly popular are PCP and PML. Let’s explore how to get a car on finance through these methods, what each involves and what they can offer you.

Personal Motor Loan (PML)



Personal Motor Loan is a traditional method of car financing that allows the driver to hire, and then own, a used or new car by spreading the upfront cost. Like Personal Contract Hire (PCH), the driver makes fixed, monthly repayments over an agreed term, until the cost is fully repaid.

With PML, you can also choose to make an initial deposit, which will reduce the cost of the monthly payments. The interest rate is also fixed, so you’ll know exactly how much you’ll repay at the beginning of the agreement. At the end of your contract, if all monthly repayments have been made, you will own the vehicle.

Getting a car on finance with PML provides flexibility in terms of deposit, term length and early settlement. With PML deals, you may also have the option to end the contract early by paying off your remaining balance, allowing you to own the car sooner.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)



PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) is a form of car financing that enables drivers to spread the upfront cost of a car over an agreed-length contract.

In a PCP car deal, the driver chooses a car they’d like to finance and agree to a contract-length in which they’ll pay monthly repayments and an initial deposit amount. Like PML, the larger the deposit, the smaller the monthly payments will be.

Like PML, PCP also offers ongoing flexibility. Getting a car on finance with PCP enables drivers to tailor their contract. This gives you the choice of owning the car after making an optional final payment or using any equity you’ve accumulated during your contract towards a deposit for an upgraded car.
