Lloyds Launches In-App Car Admin Tool to Help Drivers Avoid Missed Deadlines and Penalties

(IN BRIEF) Lloyds has introduced Manage Your Car, a new in-app feature designed to help UK drivers manage vehicle administration and avoid missed deadlines that can lead to fines, penalties or periods when a car cannot legally be driven. The tool allows customers to enter their car registration and access reminders for MOT, servicing, tax and insurance, as well as DVLA vehicle information and car finance or refinancing tools. Lloyds says it is the first UK bank to provide this type of car admin support within a banking app. The launch follows research showing that one in five UK drivers have forgotten key vehicle admin dates, while more than a quarter of car owners have experienced penalties or disruption after missing deadlines. More than two in five drivers say car admin is difficult, and many rely on multiple apps or providers to manage different aspects of vehicle ownership. Lloyds says the feature is intended to simplify these tasks, reduce avoidable costs and help motorists stay better organised.

(PRESS RELEASE) LONDON, 18-Jun-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Lloyds has launched a new in-app car administration tool designed to help UK drivers keep track of key vehicle deadlines and avoid unnecessary fines, penalties and disruption.

The new feature, called Manage Your Car, is available through the Lloyds banking app and brings together vehicle reminders, car-related information and finance tools in one place. Lloyds says it is the first UK bank to introduce this type of car admin support directly within a banking app.

The launch follows new Lloyds research showing that one in five UK drivers have forgotten important vehicle administration dates, such as MOT, road tax or insurance renewal deadlines. Missing these dates can leave motorists exposed to fines, higher costs and periods when they are unable to legally drive their vehicle.

According to the research, more than a quarter of car owners have experienced disruption or penalties after missing key vehicle deadlines. Almost one in ten reported being fined, while 13% said they had been unable to legally drive their vehicle as a result.

The Manage Your Car feature is designed to reduce these risks by giving Lloyds customers reminders for MOTs, servicing, tax and insurance. Customers can enter their car registration in the app to access vehicle information drawn from DVLA data, alongside tools linked to car finance and refinancing options.

Lloyds said the feature is available to all its customers, regardless of who provides their car finance. The aim is to help drivers stay organised, act before deadlines pass and manage car-related costs more easily.

The research also found that car administration is a burden for many motorists. More than two in five drivers said they find managing vehicle admin difficult, rising to 59% among those aged 25 to 34.

Drivers are also dealing with fragmented processes. More than half use three or more apps or providers to manage different aspects of car ownership, while nearly one in five spend more than a full working week each year dealing with vehicle administration.

The study found that 21% of drivers have forgotten essential car admin such as MOT, tax or insurance, while 13% have missed an MOT altogether. Among those who missed these tasks, more than one in ten went on to face higher costs or fees.

Nick Williams, Managing Director of Transport at Lloyds, said managing multiple apps, deadlines and rising costs means important tasks can easily be missed. He said the new app feature is intended to make car admin simpler by bringing reminders, useful information and financial tools into one place, helping customers avoid unnecessary costs and feel more in control.

Through Manage Your Car, Lloyds is expanding the role of its banking app beyond traditional financial services, adding practical support for customers managing everyday vehicle ownership.
