Voluntary Termination (VT)

What is Voluntary Termination?

Tim Carpenter

Under UK law, you have the right to voluntarily terminate your finance agreement and hand the vehicle back as long as you have repaid 50% of the total amount payable (not just of the amount borrowed, you need to include interest and fees, and the balloon payment on a PCP as well). If you’ve not already paid 50%, you can also choose to make a one-off payment to make up the difference.

You’ll need to contact your finance company to kick-start this process, but you’ll be able to find the total amount payable and the termination amount on your car finance contract. Keep in mind that if your car has any damage – beyond everyday wear and tear – you may also face additional charges.

Representative example: borrowing £6,500 over 5 years with a representative APR of 21.9%, an annual interest rate of 21.9% (Fixed) and a deposit of £0.00, the amount payable would be £172.09 per month, with a total cost of credit of £3,825.54 and a total amount payable of £10,325.54.

We look to find the best rate from our panel of lenders and will offer you the best deal that you’re eligible for. We don’t charge a fee for our service, but we do earn a commission. This does not influence the interest rate you’re offered in any way.
