What Finance Options Are Available?

Partridge MINI offers several different finance solutions across new and Approved Used MINI models, including:

• MINI Select (PCP)

• Hire Purchase (HP)

• Contract Hire (PCH)

Each option works slightly differently depending on whether you are looking for lower monthly payments, long-term ownership or the flexibility to change vehicles more regularly.

What Is MINI Select (PCP)?

MINI Select, also known as Personal Contract Purchase (PCP), is one of the most popular finance options available at Partridge MINI.

With PCP, customers typically pay:

• an initial deposit

• fixed monthly payments

• and an optional final payment at the end of the agreement

At the end of the agreement, customers can usually choose to:

• return the vehicle

• part exchange for another MINI

• or make the optional final payment to keep the car.

Many drivers choose MINI Select because it can offer lower monthly payments alongside the flexibility to change vehicles more regularly.

What Is Hire Purchase (HP)?

Hire Purchase (HP) is a more straightforward finance option for customers planning to own the vehicle at the end of the agreement.

With HP, the cost of the vehicle is paid through fixed monthly instalments over an agreed period. Once all payments have been completed, ownership of the vehicle transfers to the customer.

Unlike PCP agreements, HP does not include an optional final payment and there are typically no mileage restrictions.

For some drivers, HP can feel like a simpler long-term ownership option, particularly for those planning to keep their MINI for several years.

What Is MINI Contract Hire?

MINI Contract Hire allows customers to drive a MINI for an agreed period and mileage without owning the vehicle.

Monthly payments are fixed for the duration of the agreement, and at the end of the contract the vehicle is simply returned.

For some drivers, Contract Hire can be an appealing option for driving a newer MINI while avoiding concerns around long-term ownership or resale value.

How Do You Choose the Right Finance Option?

The right finance option will often depend on:

• budget

• annual mileage

• whether you plan to own the vehicle

• how often you like to change cars

• and the type of MINI you are considering

Some drivers prefer the flexibility of PCP, while others may prefer the straightforward ownership route offered by HP. Contract Hire may also suit drivers looking for fixed monthly costs and shorter-term use.
