Why Do People Buy Private Plates?

The times, they are a-changin’…

More and more customers are moving away from highly personalised number plates (based on initials or birth dates) in favour of fun, attention-grabbing plates that are non-personal yet still meaningful. Our popular Fun and Rude search pages now receive thousands of visits each week, and clients wanting non-personalised plates now account for as much as 30% of our business (up from 20% in 2023)!

Many people love these distinctive private plates because they:

• Add character to their vehicle
• Help disguise the age of the car
• Avoid giving away personal information
• Make people smile!
• Are instantly memorable!
