Classic car loans

A car loan is a type of finance that allows buyers to buy a vehicle outright. The buyer borrows a lump sum of cash up front and then makes monthly payments over a set period (which will vary according to the agreement type).

Hire purchase

Hire purchase is an instalment payment plan with regular monthly payments that allows you to have use of the car while you’re paying for it. You hire the car for the duration of the agreement, while you’re paying for it, with the option to purchase it at the end. 

Personal contract purchase

Personal contract purchase (PCP) is another popular type of vehicle finance. Rather than borrowing a loan equal to the total cost of the car, as you do with HP, your PCP loan covers only the estimated reduction in value of the vehicle, plus any fees and interest charged for hiring.

Personal contract hire

Personal contract hire, also known as PCH, is essentially a form of long-term rental and is a popular way to 'lease' a car. Typically, you pay an initial rental up front – often between 1-12 months – and agree to lease the car for a set period. At the end of the agreement, you return the car and settle any further charges (e.g. excess mileage and/or unreasonable wear and tear) that may apply.
