Types of finance available

There are many different types of car finance available, and each has its own advantages. The best type of car finance for you will depend on your individual circumstances and needs. The three main types of financing available for your next car purchase at Zuto are:

  • HP car finance - Also known as hire purchase, this allows you to spread the cost of a car instead of paying in one lump sum. Once you’ve arranged a hire purchase contract, you can pay for your car in regular monthly instalments over a set period. Once you make the final payment, the vehicle is officially yours.
  • PCP car finance – A personal contract purchase agreement also allows you to make regular monthly payments over a set period. But instead of paying off the value of the car, you pay off the depreciation. At the end of the contract, you can hand the vehicle back or make a final balloon payment to take ownership of it.
  • Personal loans – If you buy with a personal loan, you’ll borrow money and then  use this  to pay for your chosen car outright and you’ll own it from day one. You’ll then need to keep up with the monthly repayments to your chosen lender.

Whichever option you choose, you’ll borrow money from a lender to pay for your car, then repay the lender in regular monthly instalments to cover the money you borrowed, plus interest.
