Hire Purchase is a simple and traditional way to fund your new vehicle. It involves fixed monthly payments over a period of time between 12 and 60 months. Once all payments have been made the vehicle is yours.
When considering your loan options it’s worth remembering that your bank and other direct lenders are not as tightly regulated as Car Loan Lenders. This gives you many advantages – for example, you will benefit from a reduction on interest in the event of you wanting to settle early on a Car Loan. This is very rare on a personal loan.
