Hi there,
If I hire a large box trailer, do I need to supply an additional licence plate for the trailer that matches the car used for towing? I already have a supplementary licence plate for a bike rack but Im not sure if this is the same as a regular plate.
Many thanks

Hi there,
No there is no requirement to supply a supplementary plate when towing a trailer, as the trailer has it's own unique license plate- it is not required to also replicate the car plate on the trailer.
