Types of motor finance
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)
A variation of a hire purchase agreement, with the main difference being that the value of the vehicle is calculated before the agreement starts. By deferring this Guaranteed Minimum Future Value (GMFV) to the end of the agreement, your monthly payments are typically lower than they would be with a similar hire purchase agreement over the same term. ALPHERA Select is an example of a PCP agreement.
Hire purchase
With this agreement, you make regular monthly payments over a fixed term – usually three or four years – and you have the option to own the vehicle once the term ends. You are the ‘registered keeper’ of the vehicle but the finance company owns it until you’ve made all of your payments. ALPHERA Hire Purchase is our own agreement of this type.
Ready for life’s twists and turns?
As well as helping you make the right finance decision, we’d like to make sure you’re prepared for whatever life on the road throws your way. With our range of specialist insurance products, you can protect yourself against the financial implications of all those unexpected events, and look forward to worry-free motoring instead.
