Personal Contract Purchase

How it works

PCP typically offers a lower monthly payment than Hire Purchase. This is because we defer part of your loan repayment until the end of the agreement, when you will then have three options.

So, how does this work?

• Firstly, choose the motorcycle you want, and agree how much deposit you would like to put down.
• Then, estimate how many miles you will ride each year, and then agree how long you would like your agreement to run, between two and four years.
• Then, estimate how many miles you will ride each year
• We will then use this information to calculate a Guaranteed Future Value [GFV] – this is what we predict the value of your motorcycle to be worth at the end of the agreement.
• The Guaranteed Future Value is deferred until the end of your agreement.
• Because this value is based on your estimated annual mileage, it is important to give an accurate estimate, as you may have to pay excess mileage charges if you exceed your total agreed mileage for the agreement.
• Your monthly payments are worked out on the difference between the GFV and the price of the motorcycle once your deposit has been taken off and interest added. This means you have lower, fixed monthly repayments than with Hire Purchase.

You Decide

At the end of your agreement you have the flexibility of 3 options:

• Retain - You can keep your motorcycle – pay the final payment and the option to purchase fee, and you will own the motorcycle outright

• Return - You can hand your motorcycle back to us without paying the final payment – if you have exceeded your agreed mileage or the motorcycle is not in a good condition, then there may be additional charges to pay. Excess mileage charges will be explained before you sign the agreement, so you will know what these may be if you go over your estimated mileage.

• Renew - You can part exchange your motorcycle and subject to market value conditions, this should cover off the cost of the final payment. Then together with your Honda dealer, you can start looking for your next Honda.
