Please note: we can only provide purchase price quotations after the first 12 months of your agreement. Any early termination charges that may apply will be invoiced separately from the purchase of the vehicle.
Payment in full is required on the date the hire agreement comes to an end. Please ensure that payment for the vehicle purchase price is paid directly to BCA Re-Marketing Solutions. Please note: ownership of the vehicle will transfer once the hire agreement comes to an end and we are in receipt of cleared funds.
Please use your vehicle registration number as the reference when making payment - this helps us to allocate your funds to the correct account.
As soon as we receive payment in full, we'll send you the V5C/2. We will also send the V5C to the DVLA so that they can register you as the new keeper. The DVLA will then send you the new V5C within 4-6 weeks.
MOT certificates are now held electronically. To check the MOT status of your vehicle, please visit https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-status (you'll need your vehicle registration number to hand).
Due to recent changes to vehicle taxation, you will not be able to benefit from any remaining tax on the vehicle. You must tax your vehicle from the date you take ownership. To use the online service, please visit: https://vehicletax.service.gov.uk/ and follow the online instructions. You will need to quote the 12-digit reference number on the V5C/2 (green slip) as shown below.
Alternatively, you can take the V5C/2 to your nearest post office. If you have not received your V5C/2 certificate and you need to tax your vehicle immediately, please let us know and we will email the 12-digit reference number to you.
You need to insure your vehicle by midnight on the day prior to taking ownership of it.
