Default Best private plate sites?

Hi, im looking into getting the lady friend a private plate for her car, been on the dvla site, but it's quite limiting on what you can search for.
Anyone know a decent site to look on?

Thanks,Tim

My wife treated me to this for my birthday in December, from DVLA website (£250 all in INCLUDING VAT and TRANSFER FEE):



I looked at some of the "independent" private plate sites and they wanted quite alot more £s for the same plate.

look on the private owned websites for what plate you want then go to dvla website and search for it, if it is on dvla it will be cheaper ( there not always on dvla site as well). The only thing with dvla is they don't do finance.

The DVLA website is the best! As someone else said they hold most of the plates that are for sale and are cheaper.

Keep an eye on ebay as well, only paid a tenner for my dateless plate- irish plate but still hides the year !! and the first two letters are my initials as well which is a bonus !! remember the paperwork costs as well thou- sure mine was £80 to transfer ??

Apart from the DVLA i think they're all robbing barstewards,i have first hand experience from this!!

The only problem with the DVLA site is i also think it's quite limited in comparison with the other main sites.

DVLA for me as well. Got mine for £400 from them, and it was well over that from other sites.

Ive looked on DVLA and they seem very expensive.

Ive looked at getting FL02OOD and they want £1250. Surely if there were that many Floods out there that wanted this plate it would have gone by now.

Also


why cant i have an I in my number plate

Thanks for the replies guys!
I found a different dvla run site that gives you a grid of all the plates around your search criteria DVLA & Personalised Number Plates
Really quite good! Im thinking of getting one too now, trouble is, do i get a scoob related one, which is useless on other cars, or a personel one which can be kept for other cars too?
