Benefits of joining DVLA's fleet scheme

DVLA’s fleet scheme has a number of benefits for fleet operators and it’s free to join.

The scheme is for vehicles of all sizes, ages and taxation classes. DVLA allocates a fleet number which is a unique identifier for use with a company’s address. The fleet number is added to all V5Cs of vehicles within that company’s fleet. DVLA maintains the fleet list to make sure name, address and contact details are up-to-date.

Benefits for fleet operators include:

• receipt of vehicle documents in bulk including V11 & V85/1 tax reminders and V5C registration certificates
• bulk taxation at a Post Office
• access to a dedicated fleet operator support helpdesk
• quicker resolution of queries as DVLA can identify the vehicles assigned to each fleet number
• access to the View Vehicle Record (VVR) enquiry service

VVR offers advantages such as having access to data for vehicles within your fleet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and being able to see which vehicles are due to be MOT tested and taxed.

You will be able to opt in or out of having a V5C issued which could reduce the administrative burden, the amount of storage space as you won’t need to store the V5Cs and allow you to request a V5C when required.
