Hire Purchase Explained
Sometimes just referred to as HP, this is a loan secured against the vehicle itself. This is a great choice for people who want to spread out the cost of their car. Typical HP deals involve a deposit and the rest of the balance is paid in instalments, plus interest. Once you’ve paid your final instalment, you own the car outright.
First Response Finance Ltd offer Hire Purchase finance packages, so get in touch with a member of our friendly team to find out what your options are.
