Financing a Family Car with Close Brothers Motor Finance

Choosing the right family car is one of the most important purchases many people make. Safety will always come first of course. Alongside this however families need space for buggies, bikes, babies and more. Then there’s costs to contend with. Not just the up-front cost of a vehicle, but the ongoing maintenance and fuel costs need to be factored into stretched monthly budgets too. 

So, when it comes to choosing the right vehicle, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Different families will have different needs based on their own circumstances. Maybe you live in the city and need something small that can zip around town or perhaps something a bit sturdier for getting out into the Irish countryside? Do you need a car for ferrying toddlers or teens? Do you need space for a furry friend in the back?

All these questions and more will be important when choosing the right car for your family. 

Thankfully, there is a growing range of options available. A more diverse financial services landscape in Ireland means a greater range of vehicles are now within reach of Irish families, despite a challenging few years where inflation has put pressure on family budgets.
