Finding the best car finance for drivers in Ireland

From major cities like Dublin, Limerick and Cork to characterful towns like Kinsale, Dingle and Westport, a car makes it easy to discover everything Ireland has to offer. Sure, the country has its fair share of supercar enthusiasts. Who doesn’t appreciate a gleaming McLaren or a sleek Lamborghini? But for the most part, Irish motorists favour cars with character and grit. The kind that can handle an unexpected B-road detour when the sat-nav leads you into the middle of a farmer’s field.

What’s the most popular way to get behind the wheel of cars like this? Car finance.

Your car finance options

Irish motorists have two main options when it comes to car finance in Ireland:

Personal contract purchase (PCP)

Low monthly payments are the big draw with PCP. At the end of your agreement, you have the choice to buy, swap or return the car. How does it work? The cost of your vehicle is into three chunks – a deposit, your monthly repayments and an optional final instalment called a balloon payment. PCP doesn’t necessarily end with ownership but it’s a great option if you’re someone who likes to keep up with the latest models.

Hire purchase (HP)

For the commitment lovers out there. With HP, you’re paying toward outright ownership. After the final payment, the car is 100% yours. HP is the most popular car finance in Ireland option, so if you choose it, you’re in good company.

Find car finance in Ireland for you

From rural roads to city streets, Ireland demands cars as versatile as its drivers. In our books, this means your car finance should be just as flexible. Here’s a closer look at how car finance in Ireland could work for you:

Dublin and Galway commuters

Narrow streets, tight parking and stop-start traffic call for compact cars with low emissions and excellent fuel efficiency. Think something nippy that can dodge buses and squeeze into spaces the size of a shoebox.

Rural explorers

For those in rural Ireland, where public transport is sparse and the nearest petrol station might involve a cross-county trek, reliability is king. SUVs and hybrids shine here, combining long-range efficiency with the ability to laugh in the face of muddy tracks.

Sustainability and the future

Ireland is making a big push toward greener roads. This includes grants from the Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland (SEAI) of up to €3,500 for new battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs). Motor tax reductions and toll charge savings are available to EV drivers and there’s also been a big push to expand charging infrastructure across the country.

Hoping to finance a vehicle that’s future-friendly? My Car Credit can help you secure the keys to bestselling EVs like the Volkswagen ID.4, Tesla Model Y, Škoda Enyaq and Hyundai Ioniq.
