Why Are Some Private Plates Cheaper Than Others?

Not all private number plates come with a high price tag. Many cheap private registration plates offer excellent value simply because they're less in demand, but that doesn't mean they lack style or impact.

Here’s why some private plates are more affordable:

  • High availability – Certain combinations are more common, so prices stay low.
  • Fewer personal references – Plates without obvious names or words tend to be more affordable.

At RegHunters, we pass those savings on to you, helping customers across the UK find cheap private number plates they can feel proud to display.
