Too Afraid to Ask

PCP is a way to pay for a car where you make monthly payments for a few years and then have the choice to buy the car at the end or return it.

PCP stands for Personal Contract Purchase, a popular car financing option in the UK. It allows buyers to pay a deposit and then make monthly payments, with the option to buy the car at the end of the term.
