With more and more motorists joining the road user community each year, Australia’s number plate pool is getting larger.
With the trend of personalised number plates growing at a rapid rate, registration plates are getting more and more creative.
What was once a novel and uncommon accessory, personalised number plates are now a common feature on a lot of Australian cars. Old cars and the newest models alike are all privy to their owners carefully selecting their registration make up.
The platform for communication through personalised number plates is a huge draw card. From corporate fleets to family cars, vehicles Australia wide are being treated to the identifying trademark of personalised plates. A lot of businesses with mobile employees such as courier companies or delivery vans often use personalised number plates as a way of not only identifying their vehicles, but as an additional form of advertising on their cars. Opting for personalised plates creates a uniformed vehicle that is solely expressing the message of that company.
Not just stopping at personalised messages or words appearing on number plates, you can now also choose the colour and font of your number plate. Colours that are traditionally female orientated, like pink and purple are available and are extremely common in the young female motorist demographic as it helps secure their road identity. Countries’ national colours like green, red and white are also available for ex-pats living and driving in Australia, who want a piece of home with them. You can also customise your number plate to represent the sports team you follow, with a range of colours and wording available to express who you support.
The pros of having a personalised number plate are many and varied. Not only will you easily remember you registration plate, but you will be easily recognised while on the road. People with personalised number plates are at a lesser risk of having their cars stolen as the plates are so specific they are very easily traceable, which is a major turn off to would-be car thieves.
Another major attraction of buying personalised number plates for your car is that the value of them goes up depending on how in demand the word/phrase/letting/numbering is. Often, people buy very basic plates and then, over time as car models change the value of them increases. Personalised number plates are a very lucrative asset to a car and can drive the value of the car up. In a lot of cases people sell their personalised number plates online as there is a very broad community of car lovers looking for the right plates. Personalised number plates can fetch a very attractive price if they’re sold to the right buyer.
Personalised number plates that were once looked upon as an indulgent accessory to luxury vehicles are now more used than ever. With a growing percentage of cars now recognisable by personalised number plates, the scope for their future is wide open in regards to personal design etc.
