Does anybody know if you're able to just hand a car back within the first month of the finance starting?

Check your T's and C's - there might be a cooling off period?

It's not me handing anything back, someones come to me for advice. Don't have any documents to hand, can't get them either as they're locked in someones house. It's approaching one month since they bought it, so if they have like a 28 day cooling off period, I'd need to find out ASAP! Think i'd be able to get a copy of the T's and C's from the dealership when it's not my car?

I'd be doubtful its a whole month, 14 days is the norm I think.

T&C are peculiar to that particular contract so you can't really take general advice.

Ok, well i'll have to look into it, but all i've read online seems to point in the direction of 14 days. Cheers

love how most people jump straight on their high horse without knowing the full story! Luckily there are people like Pow and Ian that are willing to give helpful advice on this site!

Ours is 14 days and then half way through the finance agreement you can hand the car back and walk away without any penalty.

The first 14days isn't to be able to just give the car back. The car is yours. you bought it. The first 14days is to enable you to withdraw from the finance agreement, i.e. pay the finance off in full with no charges. This would be the case if you decided to use your own savings or a bank loan instead.

What you will more likely find in the t's & c's is the Voluntary Termination clause. This enables you to hand the car back to the finance company once you have paid HALF THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAYABLE. The total amount payable will be on your 'SECCI' (pre contract credit information) as well as on your copy of the actual agreement.
