PCP Explained:
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) is another way
of owning the car through monthly payments.
However it differs significantly from hire
purchase in two main ways. First you decide at
the end of the deal if you want to own it.
Second the finances of the deal are structured
in a slightly more complex way. Here's how it
works. You pay a deposit. Then you make fixed
monthly payments for an agrees period. These
payments are invariably far lower that those of
hire purchase schemes. At the end of the deal
you have three choices:
You make a final, substantially larger payment -
often called a balloon payment - to own the car
You forget about the balloon payment and walk
away with nothing to pay, provided the car meets
pre-agreed condition and mileage limits.
You trade in the car for another. In this case
you don't make the final balloon payment.
Instead it is covered by the cars second hand
value. If the car turns out to be worth more
than the balloon payment you can put the extra
money towards a new Personal Contract Purchase

PCH Explained:
Personal Contract Hire (PCH) gives the user a
fixed equal monthly rental for a fixed contract
term and mileage. At the end of the contract the
vehicle is simply handed back. It should be
noted that this is a contract and early
termination can prove to be expensive.
This scheme is favoured by those who are given a
cash for cars incentive or mileage allowance.
This scheme will also avoid benefit-in-kind
taxation
