What about taxing your motorhome?
New Motorhome
We require a copy or scan of your driving licence and a household bill, both with your current address on, to process a registration application with the DVLA. PLEASE NOTE that these must be original copies not copies of copies and we do not accept fax copies.
Please send all documentation as soon as possible to enable us to post your registration documents to the DVLA to ensure you are taxed ready for your handover date, the process with the DVLA takes ten working days.
Used Motorhomes
Your used motorhome will be taxed on the day of your handover and because of the new processes at the DVLA we will not require any insurance cover notes as everything is done electronically now. Please ensure that your insurance cover commences on or before your handover day.
Are you taking out finance?
If your vehicle has outstanding finance then we will need your existing finance details as soon as possible, so that we can proceed with your purchase.
If you are taking out a finance option you will require the following forms of identification on collection day:
- Driving Licence with your name and current address on
- 2 Household bill’s with your name and current address e.g. (Water/Gas or electric bill/Bank Statement/Credit Card Statement)
If you are arranging your own finance then we will need to receive full payment before collection of your motorhome from your finance company.
If we are arranging your finance, documents can be signed on the day of collection but MUST be accompanied with the above identification documents.
Are you going to use a cherished plate?
If you intend to transfer your private registration number onto your new vehicle then we recommend that you put your number on retention and once you have your retention document, please sign it (Section 1 Grantee box) and send it to us by registered post so that we can then tax your motorhome.
If you require us to transfer the number for you, then we have to warn you that this is a lengthy process at the DVLA and it holds up the collection of your motorhome
