- Mileage Limit.<\/strong> Mileage limit refers to the number of miles covered in a vehicle on finance. The mileage limit is usually associated with PCP car finance as you will need to set an agreed annual mileage at the start of the agreement. If you exceed the agreed mileage limit at the end of your deal, there can be additional charges to pay.<\/li>\n
- Monthly Rentals.<\/strong> Leasing a car, and not purchasing a car at the end of the deal, usually refers to the monthly payments as monthly rentals. This is because you do not own the car so are essentially renting it throughout the term. A lease car finance agreement should not be confused with a lease purchase as you will purchase the car at the end of a lease-purchase deal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
