What is Hire Purchase?

Hire Purchase is a method of buying a vehicle over a period of 12 to 60 months. The initial payment is usually higher than most leasing options but you still pay fixed monthly payments based on the value of the vehicle, length of contract and initial payment amount. There is a final payment at the end of the contract and then ownership of the vehicle is passed to you.
