Can I Buy a Car in Beijing and Drive It Home for License Plate Registration?

[MacJeremiah]

You can buy a car in Beijing and drive it home for license plate registration, but there are a few points to note: 1. Some 4S stores only sell locally, so you must find out in advance whether cross-region car purchase is supported. Only if it is allowed can you proceed with the purchase; 2. Since you will be registering the license plate in your home region, you must first obtain a temporary inter-provincial license plate from the Beijing Vehicle Management Office. Otherwise, driving without a license plate will result in penalties; 3. Regarding insurance, if you purchase insurance in the registration location, you need to send materials such as the vehicle identification number, engine number, and car photos to the insurance company. Only after the insurance takes effect can you start your journey back home for license plate registration. It is recommended to purchase a new car from a reputable 4S store.
