Permit Scheme
Save around $700 per car per year!!! How? All you have to do is change over to the new Club Permit Registration
Permit registration fee is only $114.50 for 90 days usage per year or $64.59 for 45 days usage, compared with $640+ for normal registration. AND you should be able to save hundreds more on insurance. Under the new scheme:-
- Vehicles can be used at any time for any purpose other than for the carriage of goods or passengers for hire or reward.
- A log book entry must be made each day that the vehicle is used (unless the vehicle is within 100 metres of the garaged address).
- The logbook must be carried in the vehicle at all times the vehicle is in use.
- Apply for either a 45 or 90 day Permit. If you get a 45 day Permit and use up your 45 days you can get another 45 day Permit.
- You can’t drive your vehicle for more than 90 days in each 12 month registration period.
- Permits are issued for 12 month periods.
- Vehicles are issued with specific club permit plates and windscreen labels.
- VicRoads may suspend or cancel a permit if you become an unfinancial member or if your car becomes unsafe for use on public highways.
