Be interesting to see how much extra you will have to pay for short term.In Tassie the annual rate for a 4 cylinder sedan is about $560,but the 6 month fee is $302,so about $40 + penalty.

Just done mine, due on the 4th of Jan, it's only a couple of dollars difference.

If you choose the 3 or 6 month rego options, you just have to be more diligent in making sure you remember to pay the renewal on time.

However, if you open an online account with Vic roads, I think they send you renewal reminders, especially useful, now that rego stickers are no longer.

You have to sign up before you can make the changes.

Oh this is so true, just make sure you dont drive without rego, the police are very good at picking your number plate if you drive unregistered! The fine is not cheap so beware!

Yep... The current 2017 fine in Victoria for driving of an unregistered motor vehicle with 2 axles is $793 and 5 demerit points... Almost as much as the cost of 12 months rego.

However, if you are paying on a 3 month basis, then the fine is almost 4 times the cost of the quarterly fee, so it can become a very expensive mistake.

In NSW it's two fines. Unregistered and uninsured (3rd party)

From memory it's about $650 for unregistered, plus another $650 for uninsured.

And should be a lot higher in my opinion. Like 10x higher.

Uninsured drivers should have ZERO rights on our roads. Who pays the medical bills when these clowns wipe others out? We law abiding citizens of course!

No demerit points in Vic for unregistered. Just the fine.

If they really want to win votes, I think they should give discounts on the registration component of the rego (excluding TAC Premium), if you own more than one car registered in your name.

Making it cheaper for those with a daily and a seldom used garage queen for example.

Sort of like getting insurance discounts on multiple policies held with the same insurance company.

You are correct, it attracts 5 Infringement Penalty Units not demerit points.
My mistake.
In NSW you lose demerits if driving an unregistered heavy vehicle. (4 points).

It's been about $1K to rego a Falcon in NSW for a few years now.

NSW RMS Rego fee is approx $450, and the Green Slip (NSW version of TAC) for a Sydney metro area resident starts at around $530 odd an works up. Young drivers, motorbikes & utes all get slammed a lot harder again on the green slip too - some of them have to pay over $1K (plus the rego fee).

Add in $30 or more for an annual roadworthy (on cars over a certain age) and it quicky shoots into 4 figures - and that's for someone over 30, with a clean record, and full-comp insurance.

... And if you want personalised number plates on your car in NSW you guys got to pay an on-going annual fee of $104 on top of the initial plate cost!

So glad my car is registered in Vic and no yearly fee for the custom plate.

That's right (for personal plates issued after 2004, or older ones that are surrendered & reissued). Hence why I have old personals on both daily drives.

They also hit you the annual fee if the plates are stored - so it's $56 odd for annual storage + $104 plate fee.

But that's what happens when you split off numberplates into a separate "division" to make it a money spinner & a place to employ ex-pollies & bureaucrat buddies to run it.....NSW for sale....again....SOLD!

Iv,e said for years a much fairer system would be charge a fee of $600-1000 per year for a drivers licence,plus maybe $50 per car rego fee to cover admin costs.That way the car you are driving on the day is registered and insured.You can only drive one at a time so why pay fees for car(s) sitting in the shed

I just re-registered the XG this week.
Blue slip (Unregistered Vehicle Inspection) $64.
New standard plates $45.
Rego $403.
Green slip $341.

Not that bad for a ute.

Country area - green slips are much cheaper. Living on the fringe of Sydney, we used to get cheap green slips, until they moved the boundaries out further. Added a couple of hundred $$ to each, yet nothing else changed - same car, same house, same roads.....

Yes if you tick a few more boxes it gets very expensive to register certain types of cars.

A good (or bad) example is my 1977 HZ One-Tonner.

Commercial vehicle - tick
Over 1 tonne payload - tick
Over 5-litre motor - tick
Over 10 years old - tick
Metro area - tick

The green slip itself is well over $1100 (although it is going to be reduced this year apparently) & the rego component is $450+. Last year it cost just over $1550 !! to register. If I was still stupid enough to have it registered in my company's name add another $80.

"and that's for someone over 30, with a clean record, and full-comp insurance."

Given that it's not used that much & with the introduction of the new CVS rego scheme for modified historic cars, can you guess what plates it will be wearing next year ?

Exactly why my Brocks are on club rego. There's 950 reasons to put up with the ugly numberplates!

I recently travelled to a country NSW town & spent a week there. One of the activities was visiting a local museum. I noticed all the volunteers all drove 70s & 80s cars on club rego. Every single one of them. But not classics like an XC GXL, or even a WB Statesman - there was an early 80s Corolla, a mid 80s 626, the last model Corona they made in Oz, an old Stanza, and a very early 80s Rodeo. All on club plates.
I asked one of them what club they were in, and he named it - an all makes club in the region. Then he proceeded to tell me that even though he's a pensioner with free rego, the Rodeo was still $800 for the greenslip, which pensioners still have to pay.
He used to use it once or twice a week picking up stuff in town, or dropping off bits to mates on other farms, and quickly worked out that $50/yr for club rego was a much better deal, and he'd be able to stick within 60 days of usage.

He now has 3 cars on club rego, and none on full rego. Reckons 180 days is more than enough for him for a year's worth of driving. Oh - he's also one of those who seem to have raised the ire of the government on this topic - he has an old van converted into a camper, on club reg, that he takes to Bathurst each year, and on various road trips to swap meets.

So I wonder how many others have cottoned onto the idea of buying a $2K dunger from the 80s & putting club rego on it, to save money.

Having 4 trucks registered in Vic, sometimes there are times when I'll lay one up for 3 months. if the rego falls when its is not used I'll wait until I need to use it again.
Victoria gives you 3 months to renew anyway before it needs a roadworthy. So long as it is not being driven it that time.
Not ideal but it works for me.

you wouldn't get far doing this with trucks on club plates. One reason mine are all full rego even though they all qualify for historic.

Not sure about VIC, but in NSW, historic reg is limited for commercial vehicles - there's a maximum tonnage before it's no longer able to go onto club reg, and those that are eligible are derated on their load capacity.

If it's still being used commercially, there's no real point, as every RTA/RMS inspector is going to want your blood....

Yes very limited as logbooks still apply, only personal carriage of goods, which makes me wonder how bus converted motorhomes (12T) on club plates move around on a weekly basis.

Victoria gives you 3 months to renew anyway before it needs a roadworthy. So long as it is not being driven it that time.
Not ideal but it works for me.
If you pay the rego 89 days after the due date is the rego then current for a period from the date of payment or is it backdated to the original expiry date.
