Car finance allows you to borrow money towards the purchase of a car of your choice. It is rare that people buy a car outright and instead, there are lots of different finance options available.
You are usually required to give a deposit of at least 10% of the car’s value (sometimes higher or lower) and pay monthly for around 3 to 4 years. There are different options if you want to pay more upfront, make smaller monthly payments, own the car outright at the end or give it back and purchase a new one.
The different types of car finance include:
Other options for car finance, including paying for a new car with a credit card, using a personal loan or a peer-to-peer loan.
When you apply with CarFinance247, you will be given different finance options and choices – and you can simply select the one that best suits your needs.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) is a popular car financing option that allows you to pay monthly instalments that cover the van depreciation during the term of the loan. At the end of the loan agreement, you then have three options: you can return the car, pay a balloon payment to keep the car, or use the caran as a part exchange (deposit) on finance for a new car or vehicle of your choice.
Hire Purchase (HP) is a type of finance agreement where you can borrow a set amount of money over an agreed period at a fixed interest rate. The amount borrowed and the total interest is divided across the entire agreement, meaning you pay the same amount each month. You can also pay off the total early.
No, making an application for car finance through Lending Expert will not have any negative impact on your credit score.
Yes, you will usually need to make a deposit of around 10% to 20% of the car value, but this could be higher or lower depending on your circumstances and whether you are part-exchanging a vehicle. We are also proud to offer no deposit car finance options if this is something you are looking for.
