Private registration plates have always been a popular way to personalise your car, but they’ve typically been seen as a vanity measure, something people add to look good and stand out from the crowd. While there’s no denying that private places do look great, there are more benefits. Here’s a look at some of the things that make investing in a private number plate worthwhile.
It Could Increase in Value
Private number registrations come at a cost. Some options cost more than others depending on demand and popularity. But usually, private plates increase in value over time, with more popular registrations increasing the most. This can mean if you ever sell either your registration combination or your car in the future, you’ll get more than your initial investment back.
Private Plates Are Great for Business Vehicles
If you have business vehicles, or even if you are a sole trader with a car that’s not related to your business, private registration numbers can be fantastic for advertising. When people see a private plate, they don’t ignore it like they would traditional plates. They read it, they work out what it says and what it means, and they take some time to think about it. Taking this time also means that they remember it, and potentially the business that it represents.
If you drive a lot, whether, for business or leisure, a private plate from a company like Regtransfers can be a great way to spread awareness of your business.
A Private Plate Can Disguise the Age of Your Car
Most people don’t care too much about the age of their car, as long as it works well and looks good. But if you park in a car park full of much younger cars, or if everyone on your street has a flash new vehicle, the age of yours might make you feel self-conscious. A ‘dateless’ private plate removes that tell-tale letter or number that gives away the age of the vehicle quickly.
A Private Registration is Easier to Remember
If you are someone who has trouble remembering your number plate and finds yourself running out to the car to check before booking a parking spot, then a private plate can make life much easier. You’ll pick your own letters and numbers, they’ll mean something to you, and it’ll be much easier to remember the right combination.
A Chance to Be Creative
Private plates can say almost (within reason) anything, but the letters or numbers that you want might not always be available. It’s a chance to be creative using numbers and letters to come up with a combination that looks good and means something to you.
It’ll Stand Out
If you want to stand out from the crowd and set your vehicle apart, then a private plate is the perfect solution.
The good news is, adding private plates to your car is super easy, and there are plenty of fantastic options available. If you are looking to make a worthwhile investment in your vehicle, this could be the answer.
