buy a car through finance<\/a>, then you will usually be the registered owner of the car (as well as its registered keeper). This means you are entitled to change the number plate if you wish, and you can follow the same procedure as someone who owns a car outright.<\/p>\nCar leasing<\/h2>\n
If you lease your car, then you are not classed as its owner. This does not, however, mean that you cannot put a private registration onto the vehicle you drive on a daily basis. You can put a private plate onto your lease car, as long as you have the agreement of the leasing company. In this case, it\u2019s best to wait until the car has been delivered before you start the process of adding your own registration plate to the vehicle.<\/p>\n
New Reg can help<\/h2>\n
If you would like to take advantage of the service we offer at New Reg when it comes to assigning your number plate, then you will find that the process is far simpler. We can handle the DVLA paperwork on your behalf, and transfers take an average of just two to four weeks to complete.<\/p>\n
What happens when the finance or leasing agreement ends?<\/h2>\n
What happens when you\u2019ve made all your payments once again comes down to a question of ownership. If you pay off the car, either by means of a fully repaid loan or because you\u2019ve made the final payment required, then the car is yours to do with as you like. This means you can keep the car, and the private plate you put onto it.<\/p>\n
If you have to hand the car back at the end of the finance or lease term, then it\u2019s your responsibility to remove the private number plate. It\u2019s advisable to do this a couple of months before the term is up, to ensure everything is in order before you hand the car back.<\/p>\n
At this point, you could either sell the private number plate, assign it to another vehicle or put it on retention for future use. If you decide to sell, make sure you get a free valuation from New Reg. Car registrations are seen as a savvy investment by many, particularly when it comes to cherished number plates, so you could get a pleasant surprise if the plate is worth more than you had envisaged.<\/p>\n

Whether you already have your own private number plate or it\u2019s something you\u2019re considering, you might need to do some research before you purchase either a new car or a new number plate. If you are thinking of buying a car on finance rather than purchasing it outright, you might wonder – can I put […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":96,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advice"],"aioseo_notices":[],"authors":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newreg.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newreg.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newreg.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newreg.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newreg.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.newreg.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":505,"href":"https:\/\/www.newreg.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327\/revisions\/505"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newreg.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newreg.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newreg.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newreg.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
