If you don’t have money saved for a deposit or rely on benefits, that’s not a barrier—we offer access to no deposit car finance tailored to your situation.

HP & PCP car finance in Edinburgh

Hire Purchase (HP) and Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) give you two clear ways to finance a car in Edinburgh. Both let you spread the cost over time, but the end results are different:

• Hire Purchase (HP): You make fixed monthly payments. Once the final payment is made, the car is yours. Simple, with no surprises.
• Personal Contract Purchase (PCP): You pay lower monthly amounts. At the end, you choose to return the car, pay a final lump sum (balloon payment) to keep it, or part-exchange it for something new.

Choose HP if you want to own the car outright. Go for PCP if you like lower payments and changing cars more often. Carboom works with a wide network of lenders and dealers across Edinburgh and the UK to help you secure either option—even if you’ve had credit issues in the past.
