Family Car Finance

Finding a family car that fits your life shouldn’t mean stretching your finances to the limit. At Concept Car Credit, we help families across the UK buy a quality used car through flexible Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) finance, with monthly payments built around what you can afford. We work with a specialist panel of nine UK lenders to find you the best family car finance deals available, even if you’ve had credit problems in the past. Browse our collection of more than 200 used cars, use the calculator to estimate your monthly costs and apply online in a few minutes. Concept Car Credit is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We’re a credit broker, not a lender. FCA ref: 659076.

What is PCP Finance?

Personal Contract Purchase – PCP – is one of the most popular ways for families to get their new car without paying the full amount up front while reducing their monthly payments.

How it works:

  1. You put down your deposit (this is typically around 10% of the car’s value but we also offer low and no deposit finance options on our family cars)
  2. You make fixed monthly payments over the agreed term (typically 24 to 48 months)
  3. At the end of the agreement you can either pay an optional final payment (known as a final balloon payment) and own the car outright, hand the car back and pay nothing else, as long as the car is within agreed mileage and condition, or use any equity you’ve built as a deposit for a new car.

PCP is popular with families because part of the payment is deferred until the end of the agreement, which makes your monthly repayments lower that other types of finance like hire purchase.

Choosing the right family car on finance

When you’re looking for family cars on finance, your choice of vehicle and the finance plan you choose work together so you get the car you need within your budget.

Depending on your family needs, we’re confident you’ll be able to find a used family car with the right features from our collection. Some of the things you might be looking to prioritise could include:

    • Seating: Whether you’re looking for a five seat hatchback, mid or large sized SUV or even a seven seat MPVs for a larger family we’ve got plenty of options for you to choose from.
    • Boot space: If you need space for a buggy, sports gear or just the weekly family shop, check the boot capacity of your car to make sure it’ll give you what you need.
    • ISOFIX: Most modern cars provide the ability to fix baby seats, but check the rear seat positions to make sure they cover what you need.
    • Fuel economy: You might be running kids to groups, sleep overs or events, or planning lots of weekends away. A car with better fuel economy, along with your lower PCP payments, can be better for families on tighter budgets.
    • Safety rating: Check the Euro NCAP rating on your car, you’ll usually find newer cars (between three and seven years old) have higher ratings. Either way all our cars are fully safety checked and ready to drive away.

If you’re not sure which car best suits your needs, come visit us at our Manchester showroom and our team will be happy to help you find the right vehicle from our current stock as well as providing a range of affordable finance options.

    If you’ve got some patches in your credit history you might be wondering if you can still apply for a car finance. With Concept Car Credit the answer is yes.

    Having helped more than 30,000 people finance their car purchase, we’ve regularly worked with families with bad or low credit scores, no credit history, previous financial difficulties (including CCJs) and those who’ve had recent changes in their circumstances.

    Documents Needed for Family Car Finance

    To complete your family car finance application, you’ll usually need to provide a few standard documents.

    These help lenders verify your identity and affordability.

    Commonly required documents include:

    • Proof of identity (such as a driving licence or passport)
    • Proof of address (recent utility bill or bank statement)
    • Proof of income (payslips or bank statements)

    If your family income is variable or you’re self-employed, bank statements showing regular deposits will usually serve as proof of income. Speak to our team if you’re unsure what to provide.

    Family Car Finance Frequently Asked Questions

    What deposit do I need?

    Personal Contract Purchase finance typically requires a 10% deposit, but we have a range of low deposit and no deposit finance options available so this won’t stop you getting your ideal car.

    Providing a deposit can reduce your monthly payments or improve the interest rate you’re offered, but we can find a solution that fits your needs.

    Can I get a family car with bad credit?

    Yes. Our panel of nine lenders includes specialists in non-prime applications who assess your affordability today, not just based on your credit history and score. Even if you have bad credit, defaults, CCJs, or have no credit history at all, you’ll still be considered.

    Will applying for car finance affect my credit score?

    Not when you apply, no.

    During your car finance application we use a soft search, which doesn’t appear on your credit file and can’t be seen by lenders. A full credit search will only be done once you’ve agreed to the terms of an agreement, but as long as you keep up with the payments this won’t have a negative impact on your score and can actually improve it longer term.

    Can I use my existing car as a deposit on a new family car?

    Yes.
    If you’re looking to upgrade your car and have one to part-exchange you can use the trade-in value as a deposit against the purchase price and reduce the amount of car finance you need to borrow.
