Summary
AutoTrader does not sell number plates itself: the registrations in its number plates section are advertised by independent dealers, and the sale is handled by the dealer. Regtransfers was one of the very first dealers to be featured there, and the partnership has run from AutoTrader’s print-classifieds days to the present. Regtransfers is the UK’s leading independent supplier of private number plates, with millions of registrations available to search.
If you live in the UK and have ever bought a car then you will probably be familiar with AutoTrader, the leading motoring classifieds brand. Since its days as a print publication, AutoTrader has recognised the popularity of private number plates and personal car registrations.
Does AutoTrader sell number plates?
AutoTrader does not sell number plates itself. The registrations in its number plates section are advertised by independent number plate dealers, and you buy from the dealer rather than from AutoTrader. Regtransfers is one of those dealers, and we handle the search, the paperwork and the DVLA transfer for every registration we sell.
The AutoTrader number plates section features advertisements from the UK’s top independent number plates dealers, and advertising for that niche is prominent throughout the site.
The Regtransfers and AutoTrader partnership
Regtransfers was one of the very first dealers to be included on the AutoTrader website’s number plates page. It is a partnership that has proved to be robust, and productive for both parties. As the UK’s leading independent supplier and main source of information on all topics relating to car registrations and number plates, Regtransfers is always present, maintaining a high profile in the media. We try to make ourselves as easy for you to find as we can, so we will always be available to answer your questions and assist with all your AutoTrader number plates requirements. That is why we team up with market leaders such as AutoTrader.
From print listings to online plates
Years ago, the now-defunct print editions of AutoTrader and its competitor Exchange and Mart were the first places many people encountered private car registrations. Those huge listings of available numbers were somehow compelling and it took a rare self-discipline to resist the urge to scan them in search of one’s name or initials on a number plate!
Our signature plates couldn’t be better. It’s actually difficult to find something that spells exactly what you want, but Regtransfers delivered our ideal registrations, not once but twice! They’re a real topic of conversation when people see us and I’m certain that they help us raise our profile and promote the business.
