How selling your plate for cash works
Three steps. Tell us your registration and the price you have in mind. We review it, and if it’s one we want to buy, we send you a cash offer. Accept, and we handle the DVLA transfer and pay you, fast. No listing, no advertising, no waiting for the right private buyer to appear.
Why sell directly to Plate Circle?
A direct sale trades a little value for a lot of speed and certainty: a firm cash offer, no listing or chasing buyers, and we manage the transfer. If your main goal is to liquidate the plate quickly and get paid, this is the simplest route.
How much will I get?
A direct cash offer is lower than the full retail or marketplace price, and that’s the trade-off: you’re paid for speed and certainty rather than waiting for the perfect private buyer. If you want the highest price and can wait, list your number plate on the marketplace instead. We also buy selectively, particularly good dateless and high-demand registrations, so we can’t make an offer on every plate, but we’ll always let you know either way.
Safe and simple
Once you accept an offer, we handle the DVLA side and pay you. You should never share a photo or scan of your V750 or V778 with anyone until a sale is properly agreed and handled. Selling directly to us keeps the whole handover in one place. You can also read how the transfer works before you start.
FAQ
Can I sell my number plate for cash today?
You can request a cash offer in a minute. If it's a plate we want and you accept the offer, we move quickly, with many direct sales completing in around a day.
How much will you pay for my plate?
A cash offer is below the full retail price, because you're being paid for a fast, certain sale rather than waiting for a private buyer. If you want top price and can wait, listing on the marketplace will usually achieve more.
Do you buy every number plate?
No. We buy selectively, especially good dateless and high-demand plates. If yours isn't one we can buy, we'll tell you and point you to listing it on the marketplace instead.
How fast do I get paid?
Once an offer is accepted and the paperwork is in order, payment is fast. We'll confirm timings with your offer.
How is the transfer handled?
We manage the DVLA transfer as part of the purchase, so you don't have to coordinate it yourself.
Is a cash offer the same as a valuation?
No. A valuation is an estimate of retail value. A cash offer is the price we'll actually pay to buy the plate from you now. You can request a free valuation first if you want to compare.
