I want to get a private plate but I lease my car, Can I put plates on a leased car?
Answers:
Yes, just ask the lease company. You'll have to pay the £80 fee to put it on, and again to remove it when they replace your car.
Yes, you have to put your own plates on it, even if it is leased
Just make sure you know the DMV rules for your state. In some states, the plates go with the car when you sell it/return it, even if they're personal plates and then they're gone for good. You can transfer them to another car, but it costs an outrageous amount. Other states, the plates stay with you when you get rid of the car they're on. Otherwise, yeah, you can put personal plates on a leased car. It's no different to the leasing company than having normal DMV-issued plates.
Yes! You put the plates on your car that are on there now, even if the dealership did not tell you that. You can change the plates at any time as they simply show the car is registered for driving and are not an indicator of true ownership.
yes..
no..
maybe..
Unless you get written permission from the lease company and sign a declaration to say you will return it to it's previous condition, no! I tried with 2 different lease companies and both told me there is so much paperwork it's not worth it because it alters the regulations of lease insurance and road fund licence.
Yes you may do that provided the lease company agree.
A friend of mine does it with his company cars. He sends the certificate of retention for the number to the lease company with the DVLA fee and the lease company sends that and the V5 to DVLA.
HTH
Yes
Surely all number plates are private?
Not without the permission of the lease company as they hold the V5 registration and you will need that to complete the transfer.
I think you need the leasing companys permission as they legally own the car!
If the leasing company allow it, then you should be able to do it. To check the requirements/process for your state follow this link: http://www.dmv.org/license-plates.php..
yes.
