Best PCP Car Deals December 2024
We've rounded up all the best PCP car deals on offer in the UK today.
Personal Contract Purchase (also known as PCP) could allow you to get your hands on a new car without needing to stump up a significant sum of cash all at once.
One of the major selling points of a PCP car finance car deal is that it could mean you can get your hands on a new or nearly new car than you could not otherwise afford. It'll be more reliable than an older car, require less maintenance and, like for like, will be cheaper to run. It'll also likely come with a warranty for ultimate peace of mind.
Something to consider though is that a PCP car finance deal represents a significant long-term financial commitment because you pay for the car over monthly instalments, so it might not be for everyone.
While PCP car finance deals are predominantly offered on new cars, you'll also find them on used cars for sale as well or via a third party plan which you then use to a new or used car.
How does Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) car finance work?
A Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) is essentially a long term financial agreement which usually takes the form of a lump sum deposit followed by smaller monthly payments with the option to buy the car – with a final balloon instalment – at the end of the agreement.
How does a PCP car deal make financial sense for the dealer, manufacturer or finance company? Well, it's because your lump sum and monthly payments cover the cost of the car's depreciation as well as paying the lender a relatively small income on the loan.
It sounds like complicated maths but the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) requires that everything is clearly broken down when looking at a PCP car deal. So, as well as knowing you're initial deposit, monthly payments and ballon sum final payment, the length of the agreement will also be clearly labelled as will the interest you're paying on the finance, the agreed annual mileage and the cost per mile if you exceed it.
Perhaps the most revealing figure is the offer price – it shows you exactly what you're paying versus the on-the-road price if you were buying the car upfront.

PCP Car Deal FAQs
The initial payment for a Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) used to represent around 10 per cent of the car's value.
However, some recent offers have substanitally reduced that amount, even to the same amount as subsequent monthly payments. Manufacturers sometimes contribute to the deposit though, although be aware that this can typically involve your acceptance of a higher interest rate. To get a good handle on the financial implications, compare the On-The-Road (OTR) price with the Total Amount Payable (TAP) for a clear-cut understanding of the costs.
The lion's share of the expenditure in a PCP car deal agreement comes from the monthly instalments, spread over periods of two to four years. In general, opting for a shorter contract results in reduced interest payments.
The agreed annual mileage limit is crucial as it determines the vehicle's value at the contract's end. Exceeding this limit results in extra charges, typically around 10p per mile. To avoid unexpected costs, it's advisable to set a realistic mileage limit when arranging your agreement. In most PCP car deals, annual mileage is capped at 10,000 miles, but check the terms to ensure this is not less.
At the end of a PCP car deal, a large payment is due if you want to keep the car. This payment is based on how much the car is worth at the end, plus any extra costs – for example, if you went over your mileage limit.
You don't have to make this payment – you can return the car or swap it for a new one. If the car is in really good shape and hasn't been driven a lot, it might be worth more than this final payment, and that extra value can go towards your next car. If you choose to pay and keep the car, you'll be the only owner named on its V5C logbook. But remember, opting to keep the car usually comes with an extra fee.
With a PCP deal, you have to stick to certain rules. For example, you can't drive more than the agreed miles, and you need to service the car on time, as recommended by the manufacturer, and take good care of it. If the car gets damaged, you'll need to fix it before the end of the deal.
It's also a good idea to think about getting Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) insurance. This insurance helps cover the cost if your car is written off and it's worth less than what you still owe on the PCP agreement.
