We take the complexity out of finding car finance so you can get on with the fun stuff – buying that car. Here’s how it works.
There are three main types of car finance you can choose through Zuto. Each of these have their own benefits, and are designed to fit different circumstances.
Hire purchase is the classic example of car financing. You pick a car you like and we’ll divide its cost over the course of your repayment plan, plus interest and any fees. When this is finished and the last payment is made, the car is yours.
A personal contract purchase agreement sees you paying off the depreciation value of your car, rather than its total value. Once your payment period has ended, you can choose to pay the car’s remaining value and keep it outright, hand in the keys and give the car back, or move onto a new car finance agreement .
With a personal loan, you own the car from the moment your repayment agreement is signed. You’re then obliged to repay the cost of the car back to the finance lender over the course of your contract length.
