I'm a first time buyer and had been advised to only buy from the DVLA site. However I stumbled across The Private Plate Co who had what I wanted at a very reasonable price. Martyn talked me through the process and was extremely helpful. The whole process took only a matter of days. Fantastic! (read more)

“Great service and really helpful!”
Written on: 10/05/2013
Having recently been made redundant I decided to treat myself to something frivolous! I was under the impression that I could only purchase a plate directly from the DVLA. However The Private Plate Co came up when I searched on the Internet and from the moment I called Martyn he put me at ease and talked me through the whole process. The service was fast and efficient and I would have no hesitation in recommending The Private Plate Co to anyone considering purchasing a personalised number... (read more)

“Fast and efficient”
Written on: 17/04/2013 by Shreknotgreen
Once I had decided on my number plate, I found the purchasing process quick and easy. An email was sent almost immediatley asking me to send my details and relevant paperwork - with an s.a.e. - by registered post. It's well worth paying the extra £17.99 for someone from the company to literally go round to DVLA Swansea, sit there and get the registration certificate organised straight away. (Saves me sending it off and waiting weeks for it to come back!). Within days, I had received my... (read more)

I was so impressed with the speedy turnaround of my order. I placed my order on Thursday and sent in the documents required by registered post and by Saturday morning my plates had arrived. I also made a call to the company following my order as I had forgotten to order my plates and it was a refreshing change to speak to a real person straight away.

Hi Patsy. Many thanks for the review. Greatly appreciated. We also feel its nice to be able to speak to someone when making a purchase. All too often you end up with an automated response with press 1 for this and press 2 for that. We are conscious that people like to ask questions, and thats why we are here to help. Thanks again.
Martyn.

Martyn helped me with my first plate buy from start to finish, I saw the plate advertised by Martyn and having not brought one before i phoned Martyn for some help and advice, He talked me through the whole procedure from start to finish.

Most websites were difficult to navigate, however, the site for The PRivate Plate Company was easy to use and gave me some extra ideas I hadn't thought of. I rang for advice, the call was answered very quickly and the advice was accurate and above staff were friendly. The communication was prompt and was guided through each step. I did think that it would be difficult but even when I had a problem and I phone after hours, still someone answered the call to help. I would certainly... (read more)

Written on: 14/06/2012 by platereview
During the transfer process numerous, unavoidable problems cropped up. i.e. DVLA went on strike, twice! There were 2 Bank Holidays, Martyn went on a well deserved holiday and DVLA locked my documents in a safe and forgot about them! Despite all this, Martyn kept in constant contact with me, from Dubai! and sorted the matter out with DVLA immediately on his return to the UK. Excellent communications, excellent service.

Buying a personalised number for the first time is a little daunting, have I done the right thing, have I paid to much, etc,etc. I found my first number advertised with the Private Plate Company in a car mag or newspaper, a single number and three letters, my wifes initials.

Written on: 07/05/2012 by GillB (1 review written)
I was buying the plate as a surprise 65th birthday present for my husband, so it was really important that he didn't find out. Martyn was really good, texted me rather than phoning and making sure I knew when the plates were due to be delivered so I could get home first and hide them! We had to delay the transfer of the number until after my husband's birthday, and that caused no problems at all. When we did eventually transfer them it was all done in a couple of days and then I had a... (read more)
