Driving in the South East

Many drivers face congested routes, especially around and inside the M25, Reading, and Guildford. Small family cars, electric vehicles, and hybrids are rising in popularity. The region has some of the highest car ownership costs in the UK—fuel, insurance, and parking all contribute. Buyers often turn to large car supermarkets and trusted local dealerships for variety and finance options.

Transport and Infrastructure

The South East is well connected by rail, but delays and high fares often make driving more appealing. While London is renowned for the introduction of ULEZ, Environmental zones are also growing in other areas, particularly in Oxford and Brighton, where low emission areas may impact car choices. The Dartford Crossing uses a toll system (Dart Charge), adding a cost for many commuters.

Our wide range of lenders offer flexible finance suited to the region’s high vehicle demand. Whether you need low-rate PCP, HP, refinance options, or support for a new electric vehicle, we’ve got you covered from the Thames Valley to the South Coast.

Before applying, you should always consider the most important questions around your chosen finance:

Does the Deal Fit Your Budget?

A lower monthly payment doesn’t mean the car is cheaper overall—factor in the final balloon payment if you plan to keep the vehicle.

How’s Your Mileage?

PCP agreements come with mileage limits. Going over your agreed miles may result in extra charges, so choose wisely based on your driving habits.

Want to Keep the Car?

If you decide to own the vehicle at the end of your term, be prepared for the final balloon payment. Otherwise, you can simply return it or upgrade to a new model.
