Finance options explained
Hire Purchase (HP)
Hire Purchase is one of the most common types of vehicle finance. After paying an initial deposit, the remaining balance of the vehicle is spread across fixed monthly payments over an agreed term.
Once all payments have been made, ownership of the vehicle transfers to you.
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)
Personal Contract Purchase can offer lower monthly payments compared with some other finance options because part of the vehicle's value is deferred until the end of the agreement.
At the end of the agreement you will normally have three options:
• Pay the optional final payment and keep the vehicle
• Return the vehicle (subject to terms and conditions)
• Change into another vehicle
• Return the vehicle (subject to terms and conditions)
• Change into another vehicle
Using your own finance provider
You are welcome to arrange finance with a lender of your choice if you prefer.
However, please note that when purchasing a vehicle using finance arranged through a third-party lender not introduced by Falling Lane Cars, an administration fee of up to £499 may apply. This fee covers the additional time and administration involved when liaising with external finance providers and completing the necessary documentation.
The exact administration fee may vary depending on the external lender involved and the complexity of the transaction.
Finance arranged directly through Falling Lane Cars using our panel of lenders does not incur this administration fee, and many customers choose this option as it can often be quicker and more convenient.
