New Car

I'll be signing for, registering and picking up my new car on the 1st September (yay)

I was just wondering, as I'm picking it up from the other side of the country, is there anything I need to bring with me such as driving licence etc?

    I've always had to provide proof of insurance prior to picking the car up so that tax disk can be sorted.

    Ask the dealer, what they require will depend on what you've provided in advance etc. When I collected my new car last year they didnt require anything from me in person - literally walked in, pointed to the car that was in the middle of the show room and they gave me the keys. I'd already emailed over scans of my driving license etc weeks before.

    ^^^ As above, ask the dealership.
