What is an Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
An APR is a standard method of calculating the full cost of the interest and other charges on the finance. You should use the APR to compare the cost of different finance options, although Honda Contract Hire agreements will not show an APR as they are rental agreements.
What is the Consumer Credit Act 1974
The Consumer Credit Act was introduced by Parliament in 1974 and protects the rights of borrowers by regulating financial institutions and providers.
Your agreement will be covered by the Act provided you're not a Limited Company.
