DVLA change of address on V5C

Good morning. I'm moving home in March and have 2 vehicles. I can only park one, my company van,at the new residence so I'll be leaving my car outside my Mother's house around the corner on a permanent basis. Do I register both vehicles with my new address or use my Mother's address for the car?
Also, if both should be registered under my new address, would the insurance company accept a different address for my car which will be kept at my Mums? Any help greatly appreciated please. Thanks very much.

  • It doesn't matter where you register it as long as you're contactable at that address. 

    You'll need to speak to your insurance company as they will want your home address and the address where the car is kept. Round the corner should be a similar postcode and most likely a similar risk.

    Where it's parked and where it's registered do not have to be the same.
    The insurance need to know where it's parked.
    DVLA just need an address where you can quickly and reliably be contacted.
  • Whenever you do quotes for insurance they will ask where the vehicle is stored, typically options like "on the road outside the house" and "on the road away from the house" so you can ensure you are properly covered
