Vehicle Registration

[Sharni]

The gas prices thread got me to thinking about what ppl pay to register their cars over the world

I'n Queensland Australia...i own a 6 cylinder car (4 cyl cheaper 8 or 12 higher respectively).......and pay around AU$730/year to register my car

Curious minds need to know *LOL* Tell me yours

[Lilith]

like $37 I think

[Sharni]

$37 bucks...well bugger me dead....were' being ripped of major league

[rockintime]

About $100

[Catch22]

$730? Now I am happy I do not have a car.

[Steph]

I'm thinking it's quite cheap. $50 or so . . . I know I could have signed up and ordered it for longer and saved a few bucks.

How much are you paying for insurance? That's where car style, etc. comes into it. I didn't think it had anything to do with car style re: registration.

[Catch22]

compulsory 3rd party insurance is part of the cost here.

[Sharni]

Catch22 is correct.....we pay compulsary 3rd party insurance in our registration...

I also take out another insurance policy to fully insure the car....i cant recall off hand what that is...i'll see if i can find it and get back to ya

IN the UK we don't have to pay to register the car as such, we have to pay what is called "Road Tax" or the official name "road fund licence" and for my car, a 2 litre 4 cylinder 16 valve, it costs £90.75 for 6 months or £165 for the full year. If you have a smaller car below 1600cc its cheaper. Insurance is completely seperate.

[LixyChick]

Registration = $36.00

Insurance per year = $792.00 Full Tort (meaning we can sue for certain injuries that aren't included in Limited Tort and we pay a higher rate...but we pay a lesser deductible if we make a claim).

Inspection = Approx. $42.00 per year unless you live in an area that requires emissions (we don't...at least for now) and then it would be around $65.00...plus any additional monies for repairs on required but non-working or under par functioning parts (lights, tires, cracked windows...etc.).

[Sharni]

Ok got the insurance...Full Comprehensive AU$360.00/year

soooooo all together it cost around AU$1,090/year to put 1 car on the road

$38 a year here for registration, but the local excise tax adds another $270 a year. For some reason Indiana is a high risk area, my insurance is $1380 a year. Thats almost double what it was in Los Angelas, who would have guessed.

We register the car (get tags for the plate) every may, and both cars together run us about $100 total, and that's for an 88 Bonneville, and a 91 Cadillac. We need to see about lowering the insurance on the caddy, though, because we don't actually drive it. It hasn't been driven since right after we moved in here.


That was last September.

Have a 88 GMC pickup at $35 per year, a 01 GMC Jimmy at $35 per year and liability insurance on both is $65 per month. Pickups are cheaper than cars or vans.

In New Hampshire, it's a sliding scale based on the model year and value of the car (it pays to drive a clunker). Least expensive is around USD 65.00. It's that way in California too.

[osuche]

$47 Registration
$750 insurance (full coverage, $500 deductible)

I have a 1997 Volvo 960

[musketeer]

Just in the process of getting quotes for my insurance renewal its looks like it will be around £350 with 6 years no claims bonus fully comprehensive cover. I drive a 1999 Peugeot 406 GLX

[east]

$45 registration and my insurance is damn cheap, for full coverage, i won't say, people will get mad.

[MilkToast]

all these in USD

~$18 /yr registration
$15/yr inspection
$750/yr insurance (full coverage)

2002 Mazda Protege5 (Familia outside of the US).

[Scarecrow]

In Illinois it is $78 for registration.
The insurence for a new '04 Jeep Liberty is $900 a year(have had it 2 weeks)

[musketeer]

yearly inspection or "MOT" as it's called here is, depending on where you take the car from roundabout £25 to £35.

[huntersgirl]

The state portion is small around $25 or so, but the town portion is close to $300. I hate October, we have to register in our birth month. Two months before Christmas and all the big bills come my way!
