What is PCP?
PCP (Personal Contract Plan) is a flexible Hire Purchase agreement. You have a reduced monthly re-payment thanks to a Guaranteed Minimum Future Value (GMFV) for your car in 2 or 3 years’ time.
With PCP there are 3 steps:
- The Deposit or trade in: most plans require 3-10% of the value of the car up-front; plus any optional extras, or you also have the option to trade in your current vehicle as a deposit.
- The Payment Plan: PCP is generally a set monthly payment spread out over; commonly, a 3 year period; where an agreement is made on how many kilometres per year you’re going to cover and on the GMFV.
- The Decision: Towards the end of your PCP contract you have a number of options - Upgrade and start a new PCP plan on a new car, make one last payment to own the car outright (the GMFV figure), or return the vehicle at no further cost.
Example: If the car is €30,000 and you have a deposit or trade in of €10,000, after the 3 year period or 30,000km the car is predicted to have a Guaranteed Minimum Future Value of €10,000. You are financing the remaining €10,000 over an agreed perios (usually 36 months), plus the annual percentage of interest is on the loan (e.g. 3.9 per cent APR).

What is HP?
The other form of finance is called Hire Purchase - where you do not have to pay the entire lump sum upfront!
You have the option to pay a deposit and then make monthly payments on the rest of the vehicles value, plus interest which is set by the amount of APR offered at the time of the deal (similar to getting a loan in the Credit Union or Bank). Hire Purchase agreements can be spread over anything between one and seven years.
Re-payments on a HP plan will be considerably higher than on PCP plan, as minus the deposit (if you have one), you are financing the full outstanding value of the vehicle across the agreed payment period.
With HP Plans, no KM limits are imposed on the buyer, therefore no GMFV is taken into consideration. The buyer will own the vehicle at the end of the agreed payment timeframe as you have paid off the full price of the vehicle, plus interest.
The choice is yours!
