SELECTION 1 - SELL THE VEHICLE

We'll forward your share of the balance of proceeds to you once anything owed to us, including any sell-on expenses have been settled.

SELECTION 2 - RETURN YOUR RENAULT

Acting as our agent, you can sell the vehicle on our behalf and receive a share of the sale proceeds, assuming no balance is owed to us.

SELECTION 3 - KEEP YOUR VEHICLE

It offers fixed repayments and fixed interest payable on the purchase price less the deposit. In addition, you have the ability to defer a proportion of the vehicle's cost to a final balloon payment at the end of the agreement. This will result in lower monthly payments than Hire Purchase and could, therefore, improve your cash flow.​​

You tell us how much deposit you would like to pay.

BALANCE TO FUND

Step 2.

Our team will calculate your monthly payment based on the remaining amount to be financed, the agreed contract period and the agreed balloon payment to be paid at the end of the agreement.​
