Pebley Beach PCH

What is Personal Contract Hire (PCH)?

The easiest way to think of PCH is the leasing option. If you aren't looking to own a vehicle outright, and you're happy to hand it back to the finance company at the end of the term, then Personal Contract Hire could be right for you. To get started you’ll need to agree the annual mileage allowance according to your needs, the higher the allowance the higher the monthly payment will be. Then you pay an advance rental payment which is normally low and equivalent to a few monthly payments.

When the paperwork has been signed and you collect your vehicle, you’ll simply pay the agreed monthly rental payment for the fixed term, usually 2 or 3 years. Often customers choose to add a service and maintenance costs as well as road tax into the agreement, so all your motoring costs are rolled into one monthly payment making budgeting easier. When the agreement comes to an end, you simply hand the car back and if the vehicle is in good condition and hasn’t exceeded the agreed mileage allowance, there will be no further costs to you.


What is Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

This finance solution is a popular choice for customers, especially if you have a vehicle to part-exchange or funds for a deposit, would like to have various options at the end of the agreement and prefer lower monthly payments. Initially, at the start of the agreement, customers pay a deposit which can be cash or made up from your part-exchange vehicle. The larger the deposit the smaller the monthly payments will be. When the deposit is paid and the agreement is signed, the customer will pay the agreed monthly payments for the duration of the contract which is normally 2-4 years.

When the agreement end, these are your options:

  1. Return the car. If the car is in good condition and hasn’t exceeded the mileage allowance, no further payments are required.
  2. Keep the car and buy it outright. The price will be determined by the guaranteed minimum future value (GMFV) which is set at the beginning of the agreement and any option to purchase fees that may apply.
  3. Part exchange/swap the car for a brand-new vehicle with a new agreement.

Pebley Beach HP

What is Hire Purchase (HP)?

Hire purchase (HP) is available to both private individuals and companies who wish to purchase a vehicle outright. It can be used to fund the purchase of both new cars and used cars. Designed to allow the purchase cost of a vehicle to be spread over a period of time, it makes budgeting easier and results in you becoming the legal owner at the end of the finance term.

At the start of the agreement a deposit will be paid, usually you will pay cash, part exchange your old vehicle or you can do a combination of both. The higher the initial deposit the lower the monthly payments will be. The fixed regular monthly payment and the term length will then be agreed depending your circumstances and preferences. With no deferred lump sum to pay at the end, you will become the legal owner of the vehicle once all the monthly payments and any Option to Purchase fees have been paid. Another benefit of a HP finance agreement is that there won't be an annual mileage limit.


Paying a Deposit

When you find the right car and make the decision to finance the purchase, that has a high monetary value, whether that’s a new car, or a used car for example, you might be asked to put a deposit down. This deposit secures the item to be sold to you and not another person - and it also helps to lower the total cost of what you pay per month on your finance agreement.

You’ll agree with Pebley Beach an initial deposit, as well as your agreement term and monthly repayments. In some instances, the finance lender can offer zero deposit options, which can be helpful if you have limited savings when you’re looking to purchase a new or used car.

Financial Disclosure

Pebley Beach Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Pebley Beach Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
