Cheap number plates

First of all, ‘cheap’ doesn’t have to mean nasty. Quite the opposite in fact! CarReg believe that even the worlds best cars look better with a private number plate, even if just a cheap cover number plate, often 3x3 format.  

Many car manufacturers advertisements and UK TV commercials use them to enhance the look of the vehicles appearance.   

Cheap number plates come in various types and are usually what we call ‘dateless’ number plates. They are a combination of letters and numbers that do not really match the drivers initials (some containing obscure letters like I, U, X, Y and Z) and do not mean anything to the driver/owner. The Land Rover vehicle image on this page is a prime example of a cheap dateless number plate using initials XBG.  Often they are used to remove the age identifier so therefore are sometimes called ‘cover’ registrations.    Less common initials are usually much cheaper than those sets of initials which are shared by many.  (example  UHY , compared to AMS )

There are many styles or combinations of cheap number plates, there are basic 3x3’s like 3 letters and 3 numbers, 2 letters 4 number combinations or 3 letters + 4 numbers (which are of Northern Irish origin and those containing letters I and Z).  Other popular low cost numbers are the plates we have on sale in our Make Your Own section.
