Representative Example: You could borrow £10,699 over 60 months with an initial payment of £495.89 (including £199 Admin Fee) followed by 58 monthly payments of £296.89 with a final payment of £495.89 (including optional £199 Option to Purchase Fee). Total amount repayable will be £19,012,40. 26.1% APR, annual interest rate (fixed) 13.3%.

Admin fee

The Admin Fee is a £199 fee that helps cover the costs of setting up your finance agreement. It covers things like preparing your agreement documents, carrying out credit and identity checks, and arranging payment to the broker. This fee is paid at the same time as your first payment, and it isn't refundable. It's separate from your deposit and from any other charges on your agreement.

Option to purchase fee (OPT Fee)

The Optional Purchase Fee is a £199 fee you only pay if you decide to buy the car at the end of your finance agreement. You don't have to buy the car, that's entirely your choice. If you choose to hand the car back instead, you won't pay this fee. If you decide to keep the car, you'll need to pay the £199 Optional Purchase Fee, usually along with your final payment, to transfer legal ownership of the vehicle to you. This fee covers the cost of finalising your agreement and removing our interest in the vehicle. It's separate from your deposit and from any other charges on your agreement.

Understanding Your Car Finance Quote

Using our used car finance calculator is simple, but you might be wondering how a deposit, APR or the total amount payable affects your monthly payments, or how these figures are calculated.

How does APR affect monthly car payments?

APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the yearly cost of borrowing, including interest and fees. It affects how much you pay each month and the total cost of your car finance. A higher APR means higher monthly payments. Your APR depends on your credit score, deposit, term and lender criteria. A better score or larger deposit can reduce it. Always check the full breakdown so you know what’s included and how it fits your budget.

What does total amount payable mean in HP car finance?

The total amount payable is the full cost of your HP finance agreement. It includes the car’s price, deposit, interest over the term and any fees. It’s calculated by adding all monthly payments and upfront costs. Factors like your credit score, deposit size, loan term and interest rate can affect it. A longer term may lower monthly payments but increase the total cost. Always check what’s included so you know what you’re committing to.

How much deposit do I need for car finance?

Your deposit is the upfront amount you put towards the car’s cost. It can lower your monthly payments and reduce the total amount you repay. With AutoMoney, deposits are optional and depend on the car and how much you want to borrow. Choosing not to pay a deposit is possible, but it may mean higher monthly payments. Your deposit, credit profile and agreement term all help outline your finance offer and overall affordability.
