Can motor vehicles with demo plates be loaned to charity organizations and celebrities?

Motor vehicles with demo plates are primarily intended for use by dealerships and manufacturers for test drives or promotional purposes. The regulatory framework governing the use of these plates is designed to prevent misuse and ensure that they are used solely for their intended purposes. This leads to the prohibition of lending these vehicles to charity organizations or celebrities.

Demo plates allow vehicles to be operated under specific conditions, which typically do not extend to non-commercial use by third parties, including charities and individuals in the entertainment industry. The rules surrounding the use of demo plates emphasize that they should not be used outside the confines of their intended purpose, such as lending for charitable events or personal appearances, as this would violate regulations.

Therefore, the correct understanding of the policy is that it explicitly does not permit the loaning of vehicles with demo plates to anyone outside the dealership or manufacturer context, effectively making it prohibited.
