More specifically, Australian vehicle registration fees, in the three states I've owned vehicles, are based on the number of cylinders and whether the vehicle is used for commercial or private use.
- samplatt 7y agoIt's not only cylinders. A 2.5L 4cyl diesel 4WD is more than a 2.5L 4cyl petrol sedan.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoOh, I wasn’t aware of that. Are you taking about the registration component only, or does this include the compulsory third party bodily insurance? I guess the two are wedded, so it’s sort of an academic distinction.
- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoI live in Tasmania, and this page[1] seems to support my claim. Most of my previous vehicle registrations have been in South Australia where the fee schedule is structured similarly to Tasmania, last time I checked. Of course the voluntary insurance component, ie. fire / theft / third-party property / comprehensive, is going to depend on a few factors, predominantly vehicle type and age, garaging address, driver age and gender, driver history, insurance-claim history. 1. https://www.transport.tas.gov.au/fees_forms/registration_licensing/calculation_of_fees_-_class_a_vehicles https://www.transport.tas.gov.au/fees_forms/registration_lic...
- samplatt 7y agoMy vehicles have all been in WA. I haven't looked into it to closely, but I imagine they'd be the same. You're right, it's probably the insurance side of things that increases it.
