What is Hire Purchase?

Hire Purchase is a car finance plan that helps you to spread the cost of your next car by making monthly payments over an agreed length of time. You’re likely to pay higher monthly payments than you would with other car finance options, but when you come to the end of the HP agreement you’ll own the car outright. Often, there are no annual mileage limits to worry about, so you can drive as much as you like!

How does Hire Purchase work?

A Hire Purchase agreement provides you with a loan to cover the cost of your new used car. You might have to pay a deposit, however Carmoola is a lender who will allow you to take a Hire Purchase agreement with 0 deposit, provided the value of the vehicle is as expected. If you’re looking to buy a used car on HP, you’ll need to pass a credit check first.

FAQs About Hire Purchase

Here are the most frequently asked questions about how Hire Purchase works. Got more questions? Head over to our FAQs page 👍

What is the difference between Hire Purchase and a loan?

A Hire Purchase agreement is a secured loan against the specific car you're buying, whereas a loan from your bank can be for anything. There are also certain protections and rights you'll receive under a Hire Purchase agreement, that you may not get from a regular loan.

Can I sell a Hire Purchase car?

Yes, however you'll need to pay off your Hire Purchase agreement in full first. If you're thinking of selling the car, request an Early Settlement Quote first, so you know how much you'll need to pay to settle the agreement. The finance company will have an interest registered against the car, so until you pay off the Early Settlement Quote in full, they are still the legal owner of the vehicle and you're not permitted to sell it.

What if I can’t afford my Hire Purchase payments?

If you're struggling to pay, you should get in touch with the finance company as soon as possible. Give them information about how your current situation has changed, and they will be able to help you with the next steps. Sometimes, these situations can be worrying, but don't bury your head in the sand. It's best to communicate with the finance company as soon as you can.

Your HP finance is just a few steps away
