About Car Cost Guide

Car Cost Guide exists to help UK drivers make better financial decisions about their cars.

Last updated

Whether you're choosing between leasing and PCP, working out company car tax, or wondering if an EV really is cheaper to run, we give you the tools and information to work it out for yourself.

We believe car costs should be transparent. Too often, headline prices hide the true cost of ownership. Our calculators, comparisons and guides are designed to cut through the noise and give you clear, practical answers.

What we cover

  • Car finance: leasing, PCP, HP and salary sacrifice
  • Running costs: fuel, servicing, insurance and depreciation
  • EV costs: home charging, public charging, energy tariffs
  • Tax: company car BIK rates, salary sacrifice savings

Our approach

We don't push products. We currently have no paid partnerships, sponsorships or affiliate arrangements; see How We Make Money. Our content is written to be genuinely useful first, the kind of resource you'd bookmark and share.

Every calculator shows how its result is worked out, and our guides name the official sources they rely on.
