WHY MOVE AN UNREGISTERED VEHICLE?

There can be many reasons that you may need to move your unregistered vehicle. The most common reasons may include the following:

  • Purchasing an unregistered vehicle interstate, whether it be from a private sale or an auction.
  • Needing to re-register your vehicle after leaving it sitting for a long period of time.
  • You need to move your unregistered vehicle that is only used on private property to another property.
  • You need to move your vintage vehicle that is used for rallies or other events.

 

Options for moving an unregistered vehicle

There are two standard ways to transport your unregistered vehicle.

Simply put, you can do it yourself or pay someone else to do it for you. However before you hire a trailer to tow it, let’s look at the possible costs involved.

 

APPLYING FOR A UNREGISTERED VEHICLE PERMIT

In order for you to drive an unregistered car, you need a temporary unregistered vehicle permit. You can apply online or in person through your state’s transport and roads authority. Just note that rules may vary by state. Some permits include CTP insurance, while others require a separate purchase. You must outline your intended journey and take the most direct route. Some vehicle types are ineligible, and your vehicle must be roadworthy. Costs can add up quickly, and fulfilling requirements may take time before hitting the road.

 

TOWING IT INTERSTATE

When it comes to towing an unregistered vehicle interstate, the costs can add up quicker than the hours you’ll burn through to collect it, fuel prices change almost hourly and it truly depends on which state you start your journey in as to how much it’s going to cost just to begin your trip.  Then there’s the cost of food and accommodation and lets not forget the traffic hmm such fun. Then of course how long to take off work (this one can cost the most) or you may have holidays saved up that you can use. I don’t know about you but driving hours on end to collect an unregistered vehicle to then turn around and go back, personally not really a great use of that hard earned time you’ve saved up, I’d rather use it as an actual holiday.

 

Hiring someone else to do it for you
