How do I put a private plate on my vehicle?

In most instances, you can. 

If you hold the V5 document for the vehicle you can go ahead and arrange this directly with DVLA. You must tell us your new registration number once your request has been completed.  

Please be aware that when you return the vehicle the plate will need to be removed in good time for the vehicle to be collected. Please note it can take up to 8 weeks so you’ll need to start the process early. 

What happens if my vehicle is involved in an accident or is declared a write-off?

You should notify us and contact your insurance company immediately to commence settlement or transfer to another vehicle.

Please note that your monthly repayments will continue as normal whilst these arrangements are being made. 

Can I take my car abroad?

If you hold the V5 document for your vehicle, you can take it outside the United Kingdom to the European Union, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man for up to 28 days without notifying us.
