These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of RealCost (realcost.co.uk). By using this website, you agree to these Terms.
1. About RealCost
RealCost provides free online calculators and articles to help UK drivers estimate the cost of owning, running and using a car. All figures shown are estimates only, based on the information you provide and publicly available data (including UK Government fuel price data). They are not a quote, valuation, or guarantee of actual costs.
2. Not Financial or Professional Advice
Nothing on this website constitutes financial, legal, insurance, or professional advice. You should not rely solely on any calculator or article on this site when making a financial decision. Always check current prices, terms, and offers directly with the relevant provider before making a decision.
3. Accuracy of Information
We aim to keep the information and data on this site accurate and up to date (including fuel price data, refreshed automatically from the UK Government’s official Fuel Finder service), but we cannot guarantee it is always complete, current or error-free. Fuel prices and other figures can change at any time.
4. Affiliate Links
Some links on this website are affiliate links. If you click through and take out a product or service, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects the estimates our calculators produce, and we only link to products or services relevant to the content on the page. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more detail.
5. Intellectual Property
The content, design and calculators on RealCost are our property or used under licence, and may not be copied or reproduced without permission, except for personal, non-commercial use.
6. Limitation of Liability
RealCost is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this website or reliance on any information, calculation or estimate provided.
7. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the website after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
8. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
