How Suzuki Finance Options Can Save You Thousands in 2026
Looking to upgrade your car without breaking the bank? In our experience, choosing the right Suzuki finance option can save you thousands while getting you behind the wheel of a premium model. Whether it’s a Suzuki Vitara, Swift, or S-Cross, there’s a plan that fits your budget here in Dublin.
Why Suzuki Finance Makes Sense in Dublin
Buying a car outright isn’t always practical. With rising costs and Revenue rules to navigate, many Dublin drivers are turning to finance options. At Gerry Caffrey Motors in Terenure, we often see customers save significantly by spreading payments over time, rather than paying upfront.
Finance options let you:
- Include add-ons like extended warranties or service plans
- Keep monthly payments manageable with fixed monthly payments
- Upgrade to a new Suzuki sooner

Understanding Suzuki Finance Options
Suzuki offers a variety of finance agreements tailored to suit your needs:
Consumer Hire Agreement: A rental-style agreement where you make fixed monthly payments but do not own the vehicle. You return it at the end of the contract, with potential charges for exceeding mileage limits.
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP): Lower monthly payments by financing the vehicle’s depreciation. At the end of the term, you can return the car, exchange it, or pay a lump sum to own it.
Hire Purchase (HP): Pay monthly installments over an agreed term, and after the final payment, ownership of the vehicle transfers to you. This option is popular for those who want to own their car outright at the end of the agreement. Be aware that settling a hire purchase agreement early may involve additional pay charges.
Each option comes with flexible options to suit your budget and lifestyle.
The Importance of Your Credit History and Credit Rating
When applying for car finance, lenders assess your credit history and credit rating to determine your eligibility and the finance amount and competitive APRs available. The Central Bank regulates finance providers in Ireland to ensure fair treatment.
Tips to improve your chances of approval:
- Save for a minimum deposit (usually 10-20%) to reduce monthly payments and show financial responsibility.
- Be registered on the electoral roll to verify your identity.
- Avoid taking on new credit agreements just before applying.
- Maintain a good bank account standing with no missed repayments.
