Private Plates

Private registrations are increasing in popularity all the time. We have new customers buying from us each day as well as customers who already own private registrations, coming back and purchasing additional registrations for their other car or as gifts for their loved ones.

One of the reasons customers love purchasing private registrations is for the investment potential they can bring. People who have previously purchased from us come back in order to sell them – often taking taking advantage of our ‘Buy Back’ scheme whereby we purchase their private plate back from them at their original price.

More often than not, when a customer sells their private registration with us, they will have seen a significant profit.

britishcarregistrations.co.uk has made it so easy for you to search for private plates, just add your initials or special numbers to the box on the homepage. You can also use the prefix and current search style.

I chose BCR because I was aware that you have a great reputation.  I was very pleased with the service and particularly pleased with the speed – from when I placed the order online until the plates were on my car was just 6 days.

Once again I would like to say how very happy I was in the service I received from yourselves in purchasing my super registration number, which was a birthday present from my partner.  It was so easy, only taking a matter of days to complete and get the transfer onto my new car.  I had looked on various websites and found the one I liked, at the right price, on the British Car Registrations site.  From the first phone call Sam was very helpful and explained the procedure in clear detail.  Everyone I spoke to from start to finish was very pleasant and you even dealt with the garage for me because I was buying a brand new car.  I would have no hesitation in recommending or using BCR in the future.
