I think we need to remeber that the "Rego" price in Victoria includes both Registration AND TAC Insurance (CTP). The rego component is only $220 or so. In NSW the rego fee is based on the vehicle weight, and the cheapest class (under 975kg) for Private use is $243 with the heaviest (over 1505kg) is a whopping $459!!!
Thats not bad considering you have to do no work to chase up CTP insurance yourself and we all get the same rate, unlike NSW, and we don't have to bother buggering around getting a Roadworthy Certificate every year.
I just ran a Green Slip CTP quote via the NSW RTA website and the cheapest quote for a Rating 1 30+ driver with no traffic history living in the 2000 post code was a crazy $734!!!! So all up your "Rego" on your stock standard Ford Falcon is $1193! And will be more if you are poor rating driver.
The prices of services from the NSW RTA compared to Vicroads are absurd. $50 a year to store "your" out of service number plates, well I guess I can't be trusted to store my own sheet of stamped aluminium, what are they worried about? That I may be tempted to just screwing them to random cars and going for drives? Annual fees for customer number plates you have already bought the rights for??? Please.
I'll stick with my simple and cheap Victorian system thank you all the same.
