A personalised plate can provide you with a unique vehicle number, owned by you, that can be fixed to your car or van.

You can fit your personalised plate to a Contract Hire vehicle and the contract hire partners can assist you with this.

This simple guide will explain your options, what you can fit and what you cannot.

You can make your car or van look as old as you like but you cannot make it look newer than it is.
